We were looking for a quick way to make mashed potatoes, especially for when we make shepherd’s pie. Dylan found this recipe but added his own spin with the sautéed onions and garlic.

Canned carrots with green peppers, onions, sugar, and tomato soup. Doesn’t really sound appetizing to me, but the recipe came from my grandmother.

Ground beef, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms on top of chow mein noodles.

This recipe was posted in the San Diego Union Tribune newspaper when I was a kid.

This is a “famous” recipe for fudge that has a little story behind it. Everyone always wanted Kay’s recipe, so, in the end, it went on her gravestone.

I actually can’t remember if I have made this or not. I do not eat much pasta now.

You know the taco. The infamous taco that everyone makes fun of, but likes to eat anyway. While the real Jack in the Box tacos are actually soy, this recipe calls for ground beef and refried beans.

Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks, but this sweet version is a little too sweet for me.

This is the same recipe as “double chip chews”.

I believe that this was the original recipe for my Kahlua cake that I made many, many years ago.
