Oatmeal Pie

I believe this is a classic Amish recipe.

Sour Cream Rhubarb Squares

I like rhubarb, but have never made these.

Chop Suey

This is a recipe I can remember my mother making when I was a kid. Have not tried making it myself.

Dressing

This dressing (or sometimes I call stuffing, but we have never actually stuffed a turkey with it!) gets a nice crisp top and sides which is my favorite part. Also a recipe that does not truly have measurements and is done by taste.

Sautéed Beef on Noodles

Grandma Ransom’s Ice Cream

Grandma Ransom is not my grandmother. She was the grandmother of a childhood friend in Colorado, Sarah Holmes. This is her ice cream recipe.

Bethany’s Jell-O Salad

We always have this at Thanksgiving. It is one of Bethany’s favorites, so we started calling it Bethany’s salad. It calls for apricot Jell-O, but that is hard to find. If you can’t find apricot, use orange. It also has cream cheese, grated carrots, pineapple, and pecans. This photo is not the best…will try to get a better one later on.

Caramel Drizzle

I have not tried this yet. I was looking for a frosting to use on a butter pecan cake and saved this one.

Chicken Biscuit Pie

This is like a chicken pot pie only with biscuits.

Shrimp Creole

Shrimp Creole

I actually didn’t really like this recipe when I was a kid. My mother made it on occasion. I haven’t tried making it as an adult, but think that I would actually like it at this point.
