Biscuits ‘N Gravy
I think this is one of my favorite meals. I remember learning how to make this on a wood cookstove!
You can make it by itself with sausage or bacon to give it extra flavor. It is delicious over biscuits, toast, Salisbury steak, scrambled eggs and just about anything else your little heart could imagine.
Use your favorite biscuit recipe or buy some of the ‘whack ’em on the counter’ biscuits. I have used the Emergency Rolls, 7 Up Biscuits, toast, and even the 30 minute Rolls for this meal. Continue reading “Biscuits ‘N Gravy”
Easy Chicken Casserole
This is an oldie but goodie. My older kids loved this when they were younger. I think I have a couple of other variations that rotate through my menu plan but this was the first attempt at a chicken casserole that I made.
A lot of the older recipes I have are ones that were passed down or ones that I scribbled down on scraps of paper. These come from family and friends. Many of them come from dinners at our old church. They back good memories for me and I hope my kids will also be able to associate good memories to good food.

Crockpot Taco Soup
A friend invited me over for lunch one day and served this wonderful concoction. I’m not sure if this is close to her recipe or not but this stuff is good, really good. You can also make this on the stovetop if you don’t have a crockpot.
We like to serve this over rice to make it stretch a little bit further. Continue reading “Crockpot Taco Soup”
Fried Apple Pies
We made these in Home Ec. class and it was the first time I’d ever had one. I loved them so much I was constantly making them at home, from scratch, but there are easier ways to make them. They could also be made with other pie fillings as well.
I will give you the instructions to make them from scratch but you can also use store bought pie dough and pie filling, if you like. I know how busy things get and how crazy life can be.
These are also fun for the kids to help with. They can help to roll out the dough and cut the circles. They can also spoon the filling in and use the fork to seal the edges.
Fried Apple Pies
Ingredients:
- Apple pie filling or use store bought
- Whipped Pie Crust or use store bought
- oil for frying
- butter (optional)
- flour, for rolling out crust
- 2-3 T. cold water
- powdered sugar (optional)
Glaze: (optional)
- 3/4 c. confectioner’s sugar
- 2-3 T. milk
- 1 t. vanilla (optional)
Directions:
Roll the crust out on a lightly floured surface. (Too much flour = tough crust)
Take a small bowl or saucer and cut a circle out of the crust.
Place 2-3 T. of filling on each round.
Brush the edges with water and fold in half. Take a fork and lightly press down to seal the edges.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You can add a small amount of butter to the oil, if you like.
Carefully add the pies to the pan and fry until golden brown, turning the pies as needed, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Or mix together the ingredients for the glaze and drizzle the pies when cooled.
