In our family this recipe is called “Myron’s Manicotti”. This was one of my Dad’s favorite recipes to cook and serve. It became a family favorite, so much so, that it was the entrée at Jock and Angie’s wedding!

Vegetable Pizza Salad
This recipe is pretty versatile. I have served it as part of an appetizer party. It can be served on a salad buffet, or I have even served it as the entrée in a light lunch. It can be very showy so take your time arranging the vegetables. Print Recipe Vegetable Pizza Course appetizer Prep…
Luncheon Salad with Mango Chutney and Curry Dressing
This salad was a real show stopper in the early 2000’s. It was on every Country Club menu and ladies luncheon list in the country. It kind of wore itself out, I guess, but it is very good and worth a revival every once in awhile. It’s another entrée salad that just needs a crunchy…
Chipped Beef on Toast
There is a story to go with this recipe. It was one of Joe’s favorite weekend breakfasts, or Saturday lunch. He would request it often and almost as often make it himself.

Cucumbers in Sour Cream Salad
The first time I ate this salad was at Joe’s mother’s house in Pa. It was a hot and humid night and its’ refreshing cool taste hit the spot. It still does. A real summer favorite. If you want to nix the sour cream, for any reason, cover cucumber slices with rice vinegar sweetened with…
Lemon Bars
I can’t bake these Lemon Bars without thinking of my dear friends Clint and Jeannie Lemmon. They were a breath of fresh air, as are these bars. If you want light and sweet and fresh bake a pan of lemon bars and share them with someone. (or not!) Print Recipe Lemon Bars Prep Time 15…
White Chili with Chicken
This chili variation is good, easy, and will warm you up on a chille day!!! (Get It?) It calls for 3 chicken breast halves, but to speed things up you can get a rotisserie chicken at the store and cut up the breasts for the chili and send the other pieces in lunches the next…
