These are favorite recipes from my box, family, and friends. They are my special recipes, often made or much requested. These are the recipes I want to pass down.
I searched for years to find this Vintage Fruit Salad Dressing recipe. It was a familiar flavor winding through my childhood, but I could never seem to track it down. I asked friends, relatives, and even the ladies at the assisted living center where Gibson, one of my Labradors, and I used to visit. Surely if I remembered it, someone else would, too.

I’ve been kicking the idea of S’more Bars around for a long time. Years ago, I used to make a version with Golden Grahams cereal, and they were a lot of fun. Maybe that will be a post someday. This time, I wanted my Best Easy S’more Bars to taste like the real thing. Graham crackers. Chocolate. Marshmallows. Everything you love about a classic s’more. Campfire optional.

When warm weather arrives, I start craving crisp, fresh salads, and this Shaved Broccoli Apple Salad is one I come back to again and again. Thinly shaved broccoli, crunchy apple, and a light tarragon dressing come together to create a salad that’s fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly satisfying.

Every food blogger has the perfect German Oven Pancake. This isn’t it. This one is MY perfect German Oven Pancake. And that’s the beauty of German pancakes. They’re wonderfully simple, endlessly adaptable, and nearly always delicious. This is buttery, golden, beautifully puffed, and about as easy as breakfast gets.

Green Chili Tortilla Chip Bake is one of those recipes that sounds a little crazy until you taste it. It’s hearty, comforting, ridiculously easy to make, and somehow manages to taste like chilaquiles, enchiladas, and nachos all rolled into one.
The Nacho layer, IMHO, really “makes” the casserole.
