Good and Easy Sloppy Joes
I used this recipe a great deal because it was so easy and good. It originally came from my grandma's 1950s recipe collection.
Gramma's Old-Fashioned Chili Mac
This old-fashioned chili mac is a family recipe that my mom has cooked for 50 years. It's a wonderful, stick-to-the-ribs meal that goes well with warm cornbread or rolls. I find that kids love this dish when they don't like regular spicy chili.
Sweet and Spicy Pecans
These pecans have graced our family's Christmas sweet gift platters. I've also sprinkled them over my gourmet salads. They add so much in either case. I can't get enough of them! Lining the pans with parchment paper makes for easier removal of the pecans and easier cleanup!
