Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. This is a kicked up version of mac-n-cheese with a spicy flare. It is kid approved but also elegant enough for a nice dinner party.
Tallerine, talerine, tallerini...I've no idea of the spelling or origin of this vintage casserole but it remains a crowd pleaser yet today. I've tweaked my 70's recipe somewhat ~ it's one of those recipes...
My sons all time favorite dip. He insists on being the ONLY taster when preparing it. It has been in our family for ages. I would NOT recommend using mayonnaise inplace if the Miracle Whip. The flavor...
This is one of my favorite dishes to order whenever we go to a local Italian restaurant. It's often known as Tortellini in Vodka Sauce or Tortellini Rose or some other fancy names. For me, Pink Tortellini...
Quick and flavorable, copied this from one of my moms magazines. Thumbs up recipe even for our picky 10 yr. old, his only complaint was he wanted a fork not a spoon packed in his lunchbox, or else he would...
This pasta salad is a favorite among kids. I make it with odd-shaped pasta shapes like wagon wheels, fiore (flower-shaped), cellentani ("squiggly"-shaped), or sometimes just plain old elbow macaroni.
My youngsters just love this sensational punch. Sweet sherbet, fruit soft drink mix and orange juice concentrate make this beverage a popular way to beat the heat on those hot West Viginia days.
This is my husband's grandmother's recipe with a few changes. She never used bacon in hers, but I think it adds a rich quality. My children request this all the time during the winter months.

Recipe adapted from Allrecipes. To quote the site: "This is a grilled salmon made with full bodied wine (Shiraz is best). It needs to marinate overnight for best flavor." My sister sent me this recipe...
This recipe came from my new cookbook, I got called The Sneaky Chef. I absolutely love it. My kids will not eat spinach and blueberries. They don't even know it. Highly recommend it to anyone with kids....
