Stuffed Green Peppers — Oven or Microwave
I grew up making these in my "Home Economics" days or, as some of us fondly like to call it, "Homemaking Class" days. This was a family favorite of my dad's but, not so much my children. They would wrinkle their noses, step back and look at me like they were being led to the gallows!

Fake Pepper Steak with Fresh Green Beans
This recipe goes back as far as I can remember, but not when I was a child. I don't know why it was called pepper steak because there was no peppers or green peppers in it. The only pepper is the little bit of ground pepper used for seasoning, but I always season everything with a little bit of ground pepper. It is garnished with fresh green beans from the produce in the store or your own garden. As long as the green beans are not over cooked, it lends a wonderful touch to this very economic meal.

Best Peanut Butter Cookies Ever with Hot Apple CiderTop Story - November 2017
Times when our lives called for special cookies or treats, these were my "go to" if you will. They are kind of a lot of trouble, but are very much worth every minute of time it takes to make them.

"Basic Homemade Beef Stew"
This is one of my feel good fall recipes that never fails and is just as delicious and satisfying the next day as it is the actual day that you made it. I actually learned to make this stew some years ago when I was married to my first husband, who will remain nameless for sanity's sake, before my children were even thought of. It's good for when you've been out for a while on a bitter cold night. It warms you to your bones. You will sleep like a baby! I promise.

"Pam's Homemade Potato Rolls"
I used to make these rolls for family reunions, anniversaries, but never for church because of the time it took and the larger the quantity the longer it took. For the most part, I always got a lot of compliments on these rolls, so delicious! They are a big hit no matter how many generations go by. This is quite the extensive recipe but, it's worth it.

Grilled Potatoes with Garlic
I used to have a house on an acre of land in the country, not far from where I live now. We used to have a pot bellied grill that my Father-in-law built from scratch. It was just like the new ones you pay a thousand dollars or more now.

"My Special Fruitcake"
I know that fruitcake is not that popular; in fact, it's the one thing that people do not want to take home from a party or receive as a gift. But, this is different! It was time for my husband's office party and I made this recipe as his contribution for the dessert table. He looked at me, blinked a couple of times and said, "Really? This is what you're sending with me?" Yeah, I know, right?

My Dad's Potato Salad
My family, at least on my Dads side, came from German and Welsh decent. My Grandfather made this potato salad that was, by today's standards, kind of plain, if you will. He never recorded the recipe. So my Dad carried it on through the years. He never wrote it down, either, but we still make it today! This will be the first time this recipe has ever been recorded in any way so, Yippee!

My Hobo Fajitas
Traditionally, you would use skirt steak and grill it. But, sometimes "skirt steak", as I like to call it, is a little pricey. So, I have been known to use round steak. Yes, it's not a typo, I said "Round Steak". Be sure to get a nice round steak that, when cut into strips, will feed at least five people and then build your menu from there for more people if needed.

Tomato Soup Meatloaf
When I was in my "tween" years, this was a special favorite of mine in the fall; it usually meant meatloaf sandwiches for lunch the next day! Somehow, it tasted all the more special the next day at school because everyone in the cafeteria wanted to know what you were eating.

Perfect Pineapple Upside Down Cake
My children grew up around a lot of church functions, dinners, and fellowships. This cake was one of my "go-to" recipes whenever I had to bring a dessert for a big crowd. Even though I was not the only one bringing a dessert, this was always the first to go.
