Turkey Carcass Soup

Turkey Carcass Soup  is the most flavorful turkey soup you will ever make.  Don't throw the carcass away. It's the star of this recipe!   HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LEFTOVER TURKEY When making your Thanksgiving turkey keep in mind the delicious soup you can make from the turkey bones and the lingering meat left on the bones.  It is the best kept secret for leftover makeover recipes. Instead of throwing out the turkey carcass, I put it in a stockpot and filled it with water.  Simmer it for an hour or two, and then easily remove the meat.   Discard the bones and add your vegetables, and 15 minutes before serving, add the pasta shell.  

Eggnog Pumpkin Pie

Eggnog Pumpkin Pie , a perfect combination of two flavors that join us for the holidays!  This recipe reminds me of having a slice of Pumpkin Pie with a cup of eggnog.   This pie is a little twist on a traditional recipe.  Our family is not too much a fan of pumpkin pie. I think it is because pumpkin pie to us is so bland--- so when I first saw this recipe over at Joy's blog, I knew I had to make it.

Hamburger Steak

Hamburger Steak has been a Southern classic for umpteen years. It is seasoned well, typically shaped into steaks, coated with flour, and fried in a little oil. Remember  to save the drippings to make the creamy gravy. Grandmother's Hamburger Steak With Cream Gravy Grandmother's   recipe is simple, but the gravy wows me—it keeps all the juiciness of the meat.   In the last three years, I've noticed in the blog world how many ways you can make Hamburger Steak .  This old fashioned American classic dish is packed with flavor and doesn't break the bank,   At my house growing up, Mother called it Hamburger Patties With Gravy.   When I came into the Little family, this was one of the first meals I had, and the words Hamburger Steak With Creamy Gravy had a whole new meaning to me.   My Mother-in-law shaped all the hamburger meat into one large, 2-inch-high square, and then she put a layer of salt and pepper on the top and bottom of the meat. ...

Pumpkin Recipes

Ten plus recipes made with pumpkin, canned, or fresh.  I have included cakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, soups, and a recipe for the most delicious Honey Pumpkin Cornbread. Are you a fan of pumpkin recipes?  I can't wait for Pumpkin season.  It seems to come earlier and earlier every year. Even though some of the pumpkin products may be marketing ploys some people seem to welcome it back every year. Part of the hoopla is the warmth the fall season brings, mugs of apple cider and pumpkin bread, playing in the leaves, and wrapping up in cozy blankets.

A Southern July 4th Tradition! Mother's Cherry Cheesecake Pie {Granny's Recipe}

This classic cherry cheesecake pie celebrates the red, white, and blue!   CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE Cherry Cream Cheese Pie is perfect for a picnic or a 4th of July party, and the smooth and creamy cheesecake pie filling in graham crust will surely be a crowd-pleaser. During my growing-up years, I remember my mother making this cherry cheesecake pie  in the summer around July 4th, depending on what day it fell on closest to the weekend.   She always would have to make two of them so there would be enough to go around. July 4th always meant barbecue chicken , potato salad , baked beans , and corn of some sort  would be on the menu.   July is when the corn is ready to pick, and on July 4th, we were shucking corn and putting it in the freezer. Right now, memories of how we spent our July 4th are flooding! Oh, how I loved those days! This pie introduced in the 1950's when two products, Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Eagle Brand Milk, came together, to cr...

Crusty Breaded Pork Chops

Crusty Breaded Pork Chops have a wonderful home-cooked flavor like the ones my Mom used to make.  The breading makes them crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. OLD FASHIONED BREAD PORK CHOPS Old-fashioned breaded pork chops are among the best Sunday dinners, right next to fried chicken. I prefer to cook the ones with the bone in, as it gives you a handle when eating with your fingers.  My husband has been so hungry for crusty-breaded pork chops that I took a recipe that I generally make liver and onions from  and used it this time for the pork chops.
