The heat of the summer and the busy times call for something fast, easy, and tasty. Try this creamy pie. I highly recommend it. We tried and really liked a mixture of 1 cup blueberries and 1 cup diced strawberries. We also used some fresh cherries from the store for another version, but be sure and remove the pits. Ingredients One pie crust, baked and cooled (empty) 1 small tub of Cool Whip 1 small package of “Fat free” cream cheese 1/4 cup of powdered sugar Packets of Stevia 2 cups of fresh fruit (whole blueberries or pitted cherries, sliced …

This is easy to make and excellent.

To the navy beans add the butter; then separately mix milk and flour together. If there is not enough fluid in beans, add saved water until beans are barely covered. Bring pot to a boil.

Hang in there. Don’t gag on me. If you like yellow squash, you will love this. These are a low carb version of potato pancakes or potato hash browns. If you know me, I say that these are amazing! It’s much easier to pick squash than dig potatoes. When the squash are making, we are usually overrun with them. I usually cook six strips of bacon and use the grease from those to cook my squash pancakes. Ingredients 12 cups yellow squash, grated 3 eggs onion powder, to taste flour (enough to make squash stick together; depends on how wet …

Posole notes: My husband and I developed a blend of my mother’s tomato-based posole (a hominy-meat soup) that she learned in Mexico and his sister’s red chili-based posole. Neither of those recipes was a written recipe but more a method. My posole is significantly distinct from the other two and is our own creation. I have never printed it before and have not had it copyrighted. I use a church cookbook recipe for the red sauce, but it may be copyrighted. (Use whatever red chili sauce or recipe you have available.) This is a two-day process. Posole Ingredients 1 large …

Ingredients: small chopped onion 1 lb ground venison (or beef, lamb) 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice 2 cups chicken broth 2 cups salsa (my pint jars of homemade salsa are great) Directions: Brown meat in skillet on medium heat.

I literally spent years working on this recipe, taking notes, and making changes after every less-than-stellar effort. (And there were a lot of these!) There were the years I served a brick of dressing (too many eggs), and the year I served green dressing (too much sage).Then I decided I needed to learn to make it in the crockpot to reserve the oven for the turkey and other dishes, and that was a whole ‘nuther learning experience. You get the idea.  But I finally came up with what we think (and our family and guests seem to agree) is …

This is one of my favorite recipes post-deer season. The Franks Buffalo hot sauce is just my favorite, but you can substitute your favorite hot sauce.
