Creamy Cilantro Potato Salad

This Potato Salad improves with age, and taste even better if made and refrigerated 24 hours ahead of time.

I served this with Spicy Baked Ribs (see recipe) and the combination of the two complimentary flavors were perfect.

Herb Lamb Shoulder Blade Chops

I discovered Lamb Should Blade Chops, almost hidden away in a small corner on a top shelf rack of fresh packed meats, at a local grocery store and found this simple and simply delicious way to serve. It’s not always available, but when it is, I’m ready.

Scalloped Potatoes

From “Our Favorites” Cook Book, compiled by the Texas Wendish Heritage Society (TWHS) and published originally almost 40 years ago, in 1975….this is a favorite side dish that is easy to prepare. I love the use of “sprinkle” and “dot”….what you call a “conversational recipe”

The hardest part is waiting patiently to bake long enough to blend all the flavors for a melt-in-your-mouth creamy potato experience!

Patience is a virtue…

“Icing in the Cake” Bundt Cake

This recipe puts the icing inside the cake!

It makes for a delicious, moist taste. I made it with a box of yellow cake mix, but found the original recipe using a German Chocolate cake mix. Either way, it’s quick and easy and no problem to whip it for any last minute need, or just to enjoy with coffee or a glass of milk.

Dijon Chicken Thighs

Here’s an easy way to marinate chicken thighs for as little as 15 minutes, or let sit in refrigerator for a couple of hours, or, a day, and…. it uses one of my favorite inventions of the 20th Century…. plastic storage Hefty or Ziploc bags! (I prefer Hefty with the sliding sealer or the blue strip). No mess!

If you buy the economy size of chicken thighs, you can double or triple the marinate and make-ahead and package up several portions in bags and freeze for later! All you will have to do, is take out of freezer, thaw in bag, put in ovenproof casserole and bake.
