This recipe is from The Denver Post article, Scenes from a dining car by Kyle Wagner. She ate it on her Culinary Explorer trip on the American Orient Express. I’m considering making it for Thanksgiving. I love pumpkin pie and cheesecake and this sounds like a good combination. Pumpkin Streusel Cheesecake Per Ms. Wagner, this [...]
I love our Melitta Mill & Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker. I’m not a big coffee drinker, but Big Bad Dad is. We used to have a low-end Braun coffee pot. BBD would grind the coffee beans each morning and make a total mess. Coffee grounds everywhere. I was tired of spending too much time wiping the [...]
Once a month my mom’s club does a mom’s night out. We bounce back between going out to eat and going to someone’s home for a potluck.

Do you remember the chain restaurant called “The Magic Pan”? Specializing in crepe dishes, [...]
This casserole recipe is taken from Amy Dacyczyn’s book The Tightwad Gazette #2. This is a standby at our house when I don’t have the time or energy to make anything fancy. Just chop, measure, mix, cook and serve. I usually double this recipe so we have lots of leftovers for my husband to take [...]
