Hey yall! I’m so glad you dropped by. Most of these are southern recipes that have been handed down for generations.There are a few people on Facebook that has begged me to do this for some time now. And I have been meaning to. But when my grandbabies asked me to write down all of my recipes. I knew I had to. Now please don’t expect anything fancy here. I’m just a southern cook that was taught how by my mother and grandmother. Some of these recipes you have probably heard of and others may be new to you. Either way, I hope you find something you just love. If you do find something you like. Leave me a comment or drop me a line. I have always loved to hear from my readers. *Note* I am one of those cooks that never measures anything. I have done it so many times that I can tell by looking at how much I use. If the recipe calls for a cup of sugar. I’m not going to measure it. I’m going to dump in the amount that looks like a cup to me. So, with that being said. I am going to try my best to convert my recipes into exact measurements for you. As long as you follow along somewhat closely, don’t worry, you won't mess it up. Relax! Cooking is supposed to be fun. So come on, stop reading, and let's go have some fun! I love yall and Jesus does too.

Macaroni salad

 This is a quick dish that my family just loves. It's an effortless dish that can be served at home in front of the TV or taken to a potluck dinner as a perfect side dish. There is actually a funny story behind this, that I will tell you at the bottom of this Post.

I always keep two boxes of Velveeta Macaroni and cheese on hand. I mean, I am never without this stuff.  It can make a quick easy dinner and there are a million things you can add to it, to give it just the right taste that your family or guests will love.





2 Boxes of Velveeta mac and cheese. 

2 bell peppers (Seeded and chopped)

2 small cans of sliced black olives

1 can or ro-tell ( Hot or mild)


Make macaroni according to directions. 

Add in all the above ingredients and stir well. If possible, allow to set about an hour before serving.



This is how this recipe came to be. My son brought home a friend and it was about dinner time. I had planned dinner for three people but not four. I was scrambling to come up with something to make. Then I saw the Mac and Cheese sitting on the counter. I remembered that were had eaten Taco's the night before and I had saved some of the toppings in the refrigerator. I grabbed the bell peppers, olives, and diced tomatoes. I threw it all in the mac and cheese. I made a quick beer bread to serve with it. Everyone raved about it. LOL!

Easy Macaroni Salad

 


I came across this recipe completely by accident. Many years ago my teenage son brought unexpected guests over at dinner time. I had only planned dinner for three people, so this left me rummaging through the fridge trying to come up with something to quickly feed five people. Luckily, I had made tacos the night before. So the leftover toppings came to my rescue!

2 Family Size boxes of Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese.

1 can of Rotel 

1 can of Black Olives ( Sliced)

1 Green Bell Pepper finely chopped.

Cook the macaroni according to the directions adding the cheese sauce. Add the Rotel, Olives, and bell pepper stir together, and serve.

You may add any other items that your family enjoys such as mushrooms, jalapenos, green onions, tomatoes, etc.
