My mom's longtime sweet and sour spare ribs recipe that she learned from my grandmother who has long passed on. Combines soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, dry mustard, garlic, as well as a few other simple ingredients to make a delicious sauce for cut ribs. Great over rice, too — some say rice with this sauce is their favorite food! A Lechner family tradition.

KFC Coleslaw recipe
My favorite coleslaw has always been from KFC. Making KFC coleslaw at home is easy and it makes a great take-along to potlucks and backyard barbecues.
Stuffed Jack-O'-Lantern Bell Peppers
These Halloween-themed stuffed peppers are delicious. They are my own stuffed bell pepper recipe with a festive twist. The flavorful beef stuffing is made with whole wheat bread instead of rice.
Candied Almond Bark Popcorn
This candied popcorn is a yummy twist on normal buttered popcorn. Plus, it is quick to make and oh so good! Almond bark is slightly sweeter than white chocolate and just melts in your mouth. You can make this recipe festive for any holiday by adding any color sprinkles while popcorn is still warm. Wait until it is completely cooled before breaking it up and storing it.
