Taco Meat

Who doesn’t love tacos !!! This meat is super good and whenever I make tacos everyone mows down SOOOO many LOL

Heavenly Hamburger

In the book, this particular recipe was in my Nana’s handwriting. I have no idea how she came up with it. I can only guess that she grabbed whatever she had on hand and threw it together. It’s actually super tasty and I always enjoy making it. It’s absolute comfort food.

My Lasagna

In the book, there were 2 different lasagnas that were nearly identical from someone my mom worked with and a cousin-in-law. I took their ideas and doinked around to make one all my own with more flavor and a little kick.

Margarita Pie

I have taken this to countless potlucks and parties over the years, it’s always a hit and there’s almost never any to take home with me. I’ve also used it for Superbowl parties. On occasion, I’d scale it WAY back and have it for my kids as an afterschool snack that’d last em a couple of days.

Fennel Pork Chops

If you’ve never had fennel, note that it has a distinctive anise, licorice type flavor.  Here it is paired with garlic and the pair work very well together.

Chicken Noodle Casserole

This one was in the book but was never made. This was an interesting experience for me. The crunch of the nuts and the thin crispy chow mein noodles along with those that softened upon getting into the soup mixture was a bit of a mind game when they hit the tongue. It was really good even though it’s SUPER different. I hope that you enjoy.

Fried Rice
