Tender and Easy Buttermilk Waffles
These buttermilk waffles are crisp on the outside and tender in the middle. I love the results this gives while not having to separate the eggs and take time to whip egg whites! These will also reheat in the toaster for a quick workday breakfast.

This nectarine cobbler has a crunchy topping and a soft bottom crust that soaks up the delicious fresh nectarine juices.
Mom's Shrimp Macaroni Salad
My mom's shrimp macaroni salad is a bit unusual but has been popular with friends and family for many years. The salad calls for a lot of ingredients but is worth the effort. If possible, use pickle juice instead of the vinegar.
