Recipes passed down by my Grandmother or Mother – not necessarily their “own” but ones that were made by them.
Unless you grew up around Mexican food, chances are your first introduction to it was probably the ground beef taco. And maybe you make them for your family – they’re fast, easy & everyone seems to love them from kids to kids at heart. I make a few different kinds of ground beef tacos, but these are our fave.

These easy Enchiladas con Pollo (Chicken Enchiladas) are for sure a family fave, and particularly a fave of my daughter’s. You might make them at your house, too because I think these have become wildly popular. These are the easy chicken enchiladas that have a sour cream/green chile sauce. And lots of cheese!

“No, ga-hrose! Ham Balls?” Yeah, my sister didn’t hold back when I told her I made them. And that gross was a whole two-syllable gross! Too bad she’s so far away coz I know I could convert her with these little lovelies. They’re the real, deal Iowa Ham Balls with Sweet Sour Glaze, heritage style. No soup or ketchup or any weirdness at all. Just good down-home scratch cooking.

I was very excited to come across this recipe for Fruit Cake In my Grandmother’s recipe box. It came down from her Mother, Lizzie Maloney. It’s a rich, moist and lovely Gingerbread type cake and the spicing is beautiful.

Don’t you just love Classic Snickerdoodles? They have those lovely, delicate crispy edges and they’re kinda chewy and have such a distinctive taste and look with their crinkly tops. Now some people think they’re a little plain, but I can attest that they’re scrumptious, sweet, and slightly cinnamony and they are truly one of my favorite cookies. I hope these will be a favorite at your house, too.
