This recipe is very simple and so good. It's sweet and a little spicy, which leave a great taste in your mouth. You can make this any time of the year. I love to make this recipe because it reminds me…
This is a moist easy-to-make cake. This cake is even better the next day if there is any left! Taste can be varied by using many of the Jell-O flavors.
These bites are cool and refreshing. My grandkids love them. We got the idea from the spicy Mexican candy suckers. They are so easy and the kids do most of the work!
A neighbor gave me home grown peppers, so I created these tasty mild peppers. Family loves these. Good appetizer or simple side dish with lunch or dinner.
This taco pizza recipe that I came up with gets rave reviews from everyone. Tastes better than any restaurant pizza and is easy to make. Great way to use leftover taco meat. My family can't get enough.
My mother came up with this recipe in the early '70's when the first slow cookers hit the market. God love her, it's one of the few things she really can cook! (Sorry Ma).
