Laura’s Sweet Pork

This is another favorite from the Real Mom Cookbook. I have included the link to the original recipe as well as we have changed the recipe a little bit.

My kids like this with Cheesey Potatoes, Cole Slaw, and some rolls. The leftovers are delicious when used for Sweet Pork Quesadillas. Continue reading “Laura’s Sweet Pork” →

Pickled Eggs

I know I’ve said it before but it’s worth saying again, we like eggs and we eat a lot of eggs around here. We have a flock of lazy chickens right now but I’m sure they will start laying again soon. I make these when we have more eggs than we can give away.

I try to keep a couple of large glass gallon size containers with lids for making these in. These are also a favorite treat around Easter. I try to make them a week ahead of time as the longer they sit they better they taste!

Pickled Eggs

Ingredients:

  • 4 -15 ounce cans whole beets (I like to use the pickles beets when I can find them)
  • 24 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 2 c. water
  • 2 c. apple cider vinegar

Directions:

Drain beets, reserving 2 cup juice.

Place beets and eggs in a gallon size glass jar.

Bring the sugar, water, vinegar, and beet juice to a boil.

Pour over beets and eggs; cool.

Add water, if needed, to cover the eggs.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.

Boston Baked Beans

I forgot where I got this recipe from but I will gladly give credit if I find my original source.

We usually eat this one day for dinner with Mac-n-Cheese, Slaw, and Rolls. Then we will eat them the next day for lunch. Continue reading “Boston Baked Beans” →

Pumpkin Muffins

This is a great way to use up any frozen pumpkin you may have in the freezer. You don’t have frozen pumpkin? Am I the only one with an overabundance of frozen pumpkin? Don’t answer that, please. If you don’t have the frozen you can use canned pumpkin.

I have also added the instructions for a crumb topping which is optional. My kids love muffins, especially Cinnamon muffins, so I add this to them to keep them happy. Continue reading “Pumpkin Muffins” →
