Mini Cherry Cheesecakes
I got this mini cherry cheesecake recipe from my mother-in-law many years ago. It's a family favorite and a great treat for potlucks. It's very easy to make, but it looks like you've spent hours on it.
Tuna Fish Patties
This is a great recipe I came up with to get rid of leftover bread. I generally use the contents of my vegetable drawer here so I kind of throw in whatever I have at the time, so you can use your own judgment. They taste really nice when eaten with sour cream or low-fat mayo or even on their own - though my husband prefers ketchup. I generally use this recipe as a guideline, so have fun with it!
Hybrid Hamburger Stroganoff
I created this hamburger stroganoff as an amalgamation of about a half-dozen stroganoff recipes. Really hits the spot on a cold day, served over egg noodles with peas and carrots.
