These wonderful cinnamon-sugar cookies became very popular with my friends at church. My pastor loves them! You will too! Crispy edges, and chewy centers; these cookies are a crowd pleaser for sure! 

This is the easiest meal you'll ever make. Being a mom of 8 and working I wanted to find something I can make for dinner with no effort. Start your roast in the morning before going to work it will be done when you get home. You don't even have to defrost the roast. If it is a defrosted roast, put it in around noon, it will be done at 5pm. I've had so many people ask for my recipe, and this is the first time I've let it out of my kitchen. Enjoy. 

This dough is made rich by adding ice cream. It is made even quicker and easier by using a canned filling. 

This is a very creamy and yummy vanilla pumpkin dip that is served with graham crackers. I like the cinnamon graham crackers best, but you can decide for yourself. 

All that baking powder makes for fluffy, big biscuits. They 're versatile enough to serve with gravy or with strawberries and cream. 

There's something comforting about pork chops, breaded and baked, and served with an easy white wine and mushroom sauce. 

This makes a very hot and spicy chuck pot toast that cooks for 2 to 4 hours on a low-temperature setting. Seasoning should be adjusted for individual tastes. 

Mini smoked sausages disappear extra quickly when blanketed in crisp bacon and topped with a brown-sugar glaze. 

Corn flour, or masa harina, is available at many larger grocers. Here it blends with corn meal, sugar, butter and cream in this luscious pudding-cake. 

This is a quick, easy, and authentic Thai curry dish that's sweet and very spicy. I became addicted to the dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. 

This is a quick light meal. Wilted spinach, bacon and tomatoes are tossed with penne pasta. Good for any season and will compliment anything. 

I worked at a Mexican restaurant that specializes in Baja dishes, and became addicted to this burrito... I moved away, so I had to create my own. The Chipotle Sauce is what makes it oh so yummy! 

A household favorite, I created this recipe after giving up flour, cheese and most sugar. It is a turkey meatloaf with an Italian touch. 

Simple and versatile rice side dish that everyone loves! 

This easy cucumber salad lets you turn your cucumbers into an instant side dish! A light seasoning of salt pepper and garlic powder and some mayonnaise is all you need. 

A simple slow cooker meal! Pork roast is cooked all day with pinto beans in a seasoned sauce then shredded. Serve on tortillas with sour cream, salsa, and cheese or your favorite toppings. Great for small gatherings because it makes a ton. Freezes well too for quick meals later. 

This is a tasty cake that stores well and is quite easy to make.
