My husband does not like baked beans but can't get enough of these. They are loaded with a variety of meats and get a little bit of sweetness from molasses and brown sugar. 

Bake a crustless cheesecake, then scoop out rounded lollipops on a stick. Dip in white or dark chocolate, then decorate with mini chips, sprinkles or nuts. A fun twist on a traditional dessert, these fun 'lollipops' will impress your family and friends. 

Delicious soft cupcakes are made in this recipe without all that fear of eating the batter. These are also taste great with chocolate chips folded in. 

This decadent brownie is perfect for a St. Patrick's day celebration full of green! 

This is one of the hundreds of cupcake recipes that I make homemade for my cupcake business. It's a light lemon and lime cupcake. 

Scrapple or mush has been a hearty breakfast staple in our family for generations. Heavily flavored with herbs, spices, onions and meat, it is a meal unto itself. 

These pork chops are absolutely to die for! They turn out so juicy and tender and, so far, my husband has had me make these chops for tailgating parties, house parties, supper with the kids, dinner for us two...he can't get enough! 

I took an old favorite and juiced it up to make it more nutritious. I like to use the huge zucchini that didn't get picked on time, as long as it's still green and healthy. 

Delicate, cardamom-flavored cookie cones are a traditional favorite in Norway, especially at Christmas time. This version is enhanced with orange zest, ginger, and cinnamon to complement the cardamom. 

I was playing around with different marinades and this seemed to go over well. This recipe can be baked in the oven if you don't want to brave the winter chill at the grill. 

Enjoy this savory main course from America's heartland. Tender boneless pork chops are cooked with green onions, sliced apples, and fresh mushrooms and seasoned with apple brandy and cream. 

A flavorful twist on the classic apple pie. Sweet apples drenched in maple, vanilla and cinnamon without over-doing it. 

This venison stroganoff cooks unattended all day until tender; when dinnertime rolls around, it takes just 30 minutes to finish off. 

These fries are a healthy alternative to the old standard French fries. The Italian seasoning and lemon pepper add an interesting twist to this vegetable. 

This is the creamiest, richest potato salad you will ever try. The secret is in the homemade dressing. I get nothing but raves every time I make this. 

Bright flavors meld to produce a one-of-a-kind rice dish. To really bring out the orange flavor, try using juice with lots of pulp. 

These heart shaped meatballs will turn your heart to mush. Seasoned ground beef is stuffed with a mushroom and Swiss cheese filling. Great flavor. 

The applesauce stuffing is a very nice change, and oh so moist and flavorful. You can also do this with pork chops if you like. 

Onion flavored ground beef with broth is served on hamburger buns in this Iowa classic sandwich. I came up with my own version of Iowa MaidRites which also are called 'loose meat' sandwiches. Very versatile, leftover beef can be used for spaghetti or taco filling, or it can be frozen for later use. 

This exciting twist on lasagna features beans, Gruyere cheese, and a delicious bechamel sauce.
