Jolene's Recipe Journal

  This one is another winner from the Simple & Delicious Cookbook.   I've lost count of how many that makes!  All of the recipes are quick, almost always made from ingredients I have on hand, and, like the name says, are delicious.

We're pretty boring when it comes to pie.  Looking at my 12 posts on the subject, they are mostly variations of our favorites- apple, blueberry & chocolate.   For Pi{e} Day, I decided that I wanted to get out of the box a bit.    Still working my way through all my sticky notes making to-try recipes in Taste of Home's 100 Family Meals, and one of those recipes was Coconut Macaroon Pie.

Another winner from the Taste of Home 100 Family Meals cookbook !  I'm yeast phobic, but we are a carb loving family.   These delicious cheese sticks start with a boxed pizza crust mix, but you could use ready made pizza dough.

We've enjoyed some above average temperatures here in New England over the last few weeks.  Now winter has returned, and with it, my craving for comfort food.   This Melt in Your Mouth Pot roast is perfect for that.   Best of all, it's made in the slow cooker, so I can cozy up and read or knit and still put a great meal on the table.
