Lemon Jello Fruit SaladI don't know why they call Jello and fruit a salad. This is one of my favorites, though. I would call it a dessert, it is so good.

 

Pan of rolls.

Dilly BreadI like the taste of this so much with the dill, and it always rises so nice. You can make this the usual way or using a bread maker, which is what I do. I put the bread maker on the "dough" cycle and when that is done, take it out and shape it anyway I want to.

 

Vodka Cream Pasta

Vodka Cream PastaThis is a quick, tasty, and fancy looking dinner that is fairly inexpensive to make. I find that if I spend a little more money and cook nice meals like this regularly, we don't want to go out to eat, saving money in the long run.
