  Every year we go to my parents house for 4th of July and making homemade ice cream is a definite must while we are there. They have an old fashioned crank ice cream maker and it is tradition that all the men folk present take turns cranking. My Mom’s recipe is absolutely delicious!  …

I don’t know what kind of pizza you eat at your house, but at mine– it’s pepperoni 99.9% of the time.  I like pepperoni ok, but  sometimes Super Rockstar and I like to have our own kind–lots of meats and occasionally a veggie or two.  The agony of picking out the parts the boys don’t…

The other day(Coffee Break–Volume 14), I told you about the wonderful miracle of Make Your Own Microwave Popcorn that I saw on a Rachel Ray show.  I just had to try it and I’m happy to report that it turned out magnificently! The Ingredients: All you need is 1/4 cup popcorn, a brown paper bag…

There are a couple of recipes that are special and enjoyed only once or twice a year–my Mom’s Gourmet Potatoes is one of those recipes.  When we go to their house at Christmas, she always makes a big pan of them and my sister and I fight over who gets to have it in front…

We have tacos at least once a week at our house–but not always on Tuesdays.  To be honest, I think Super Rockstar could just rotate Taco’s, Spaghetti and Fried Chicken and be just fine.  I know what you’re thinking–“I know how to make taco’s–it’s really not that hard.” That’s true. It is easy. But no–you…

I found this recipe for Focaccia Bread about 10 years ago. The original was in a Kelly Minter Bible study workbook of all things. I make it at least once a week to go with spaghetti, but it also is really delicious by itself. The Ingredients. Place the yeast in a large bowl. Add the…
