Dennis and I love egg salad sandwiches or…
Dennis and I love egg salad sandwiches or even having some ready for adding to a lettuce salad. What spoils it is when the eggs are impossible to peel. Here is a tip that has worked 100% of the time for me. When the eggs are put on to boil I add a splash of white vinegar to the water. When the water and eggs come into a full boil, just remove from the heat and cover the saucepan for about 20 minutes. Cool down with cold water running over them. With this tip there is no longer a chance of the shells coming off in a million pieces. Priceless!

Old Time Supper
Hats off to my parents, Raymond and Lena. When chores time was rushed or busier than usual supper still needed to be on the round oak table when all six of us stuck our feet under it. The schedule was that young stock, hogs and chicken chores needed to be done when Mom yelled that supper was ready. The summer staple for a fast meal included newly dug potatoes boiled with the skins on. Sliced cucumbers and almost equal number of sliced onions were smothered in a sauce made up of mayonnaise, a bit of vinegar, a bit of sugar and a bit of cream. The creamed cucumbers were then served over the hot mashed potatoes right on each of our plates. Wham, bam, thank you Mom and it was then off to get the Holstein dairy heard milked. My Mom was involved in all the chores as well as milking and what she put on the table for us was always outstanding and oh so tasty. It was yummy then and it was yummy tonight as that is what Dennis and I had for a supper. Catch ya later.

Bear Creek Cheddar Broccoli Rice
This recipe is for rice that is literally a meal in a bag.
The contents of the bag is put in a kettle with 3 1/2 cups of water and brought to a boil.
The complete directions are on the bag.
When the rice mixture got thick and creamy I added some deli turkey lunch meat that I diced and wanted to use up before the expiration date. I popped the combined mixture into a skillet (covered) at a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes allowing it to set up further.
There are so many flavors of the Bear Creek available and it makes for quick meals with no end of what can be added for additional proteins (diced hot dogs, browned ground beef, etc.).

Pina Colada Icebox Pie
**This is not a quick dish to fix but it is the very first cheesecake I have ever made and I was really proud of how it turned out.
Pina Colada Icebox Pie
Pina Colada Icebox Pie
• 2 cups pecan shortbread cookie crumbs
(about 16 cookies)• 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple in juice
• 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
• 1 cup cream of coconut
• 2 large eggs
350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes
Stir together first three ingredients, firmly press on bottom and sides of a lightly sprayed 9-inch pie pan.
Stir together sugar and cornstarch in small sauce pan, stir in pineapple with the juice. Bring to a boil stirring constantly until thickened and allow to cool.
Beat cream cheese and cream of coconut until smooth. Add in one egg at a time.
Spread cooled pineapple onto crust and spoon on cream cheese mixture. After baked allow cheesecake to cool before serving.
*My friend Doreen made this cheesecake when I was at her home last week. Doreen had pre-baked the cookie crust and I decided to take a risk and assemble ingredients all at once. The crust came out baked and tender and totally held the cream cheese together. Cream of coconut (purchased in a liquor store) is very sweet. Doreen had used cream of coconut combined with the whipping cream for a topping. I chose to top the cheese cake with whipped cream and sprinkled crushed pecans on the whipped cream. Thanks Doreen for sharing a great dessert.
