Simple No Bake Chocolate CookiesA friend gave me this recipe a long time ago. These cookies are quick to make when you want something sweet in a hurry. They are also good summer cookies, as they are kept chilled.

 

Beef & Noodle CasseroleThis is a casserole that was made regularly in my home when I was growing up as well as when I was raising my children. Pretty economical and very tasty!

 

Baked ChickenThis is another pretty economical main dish that will feed a family very well. Chicken and stuffing is always a welcome meal in our home.

 

Vegetable Cheese MedleyThis is a yummy veggie dish! I love the Swiss cheese with the veggies along with the French fried onions!

 

Pasta Salad RecipeMix first 5 ingredients together in large bowl. Pour 1/4 of the salad dressing onto salad. Mix the Salad Supreme into the balance of the salad dressing, shaking until well combined.

 

Marinated RigatoniEven though the recipe does not call for it, this is good with some fresh tomato added in as well. I usually use a whole medium tomato when I make this.

 

6 Cup Luncheon SpecialThis is super easy, economical and great tasting!

 

Cheese-Salsa DipThis is so simple and so good!

 

Traditional Macaroni SaladThis is another staple in my house while I was growing up that I have carried over to my own family. I just love the combination of ingredients in this. Great salad!

Crumbly Peach PieMy mom used to make this peach pie all the time. My favorite peach pie recipe!

 

Sausage CasseroleI like to think of this as a fun way to dress up macaroni and cheese. Very good!

 

Creamy Wild Rice SoupAs hot as it is in our area, it's hard to think of winter these days, but it will be upon us before we know it! This is a great, hearty soup that I think helps warm from the inside out! Very yummy!

 

Pink Lady DessertI love this recipe because it not only tastes good, but it's quick and easy to make!

 

Boiled DinnerI boil the ham bone with wedged cabbage, rutabaga, potatoes, whole onions, and squash. It makes wonderful meal.

 

Candy Cane Ranch Angel (American Shorthair)Candy Cane Ranch Angel is a 5 year old American Shorthair. Coming in our gate on Christmas eve I kicked something. It was a 6 week old kitten. It was our sweet angel with a broken ankle. On 3 legs she jumps everywhere. She is a super good ratter protecting the farm! She loves people and gives lots of purrs and kisses.

 

Sunrise (Trolling Lake, Northern Ontario)I took this photo a few years ago early one morning at the lake we camp at in the summer. This was taken right outside our travel trailer door. I loved the way the mist was rising on the water and how the sun was highlighting the grass and our boat. Other parts of the world that I have visited are beautiful, but this is one of my favorite places.

 

Warning: No String Toys for BirdsI had put on here a long time ago how my parakeet Perry loved to unravel string in his cage for entertainment. He really did love to do this. Just the other night, he became entangled in one of the strings that he often played with.

Hydrangeas Not Blooming?My hydrangea plant hasn't had blooms for the past two years. Should I dig them up or what can I do to invigorate them to bloom? All I get are the green leaves.

Removing Mechanical Grease from Carpet?I work in a machine shop, and we are trying to clean the carpets. The problem is that the carpets are stained with grease from people walking in and out of the offices. Any tips or tricks for removing grease stains? (and I mean huge grease stains!) Thanks so much.

 

12th Birthday Party Ideas?My niece wants to have a last minute birthday party, (in August or September), but is concerned about the money, and wants to have something that she can afford with her allowance which is $20.00 a week. She is willing to save up as much as she can for this. Have any ideas?

Previously Potty Trained Dog Going in House?I would like ideas for re-potty training a 1 year old teacup Yorkie. My Yorkie is 1 1/2 years old. The potty training has recently become a nightmare. It was difficult to potty train her on pee pads, but eventually I thought we had made it! Then she started occasionally going on the floor.

 

Hibiscus Leaves Cupped?Last year was the first time I tried hardy hibiscus. I got roots from a mail order catalog and planted them in late spring with plenty of sun. We have very sandy soil so I water often, every 2 days, saturating the soil.

 

Growing Sweet William from Seed?I am planning to do a bed of Sweet William next season. I have collected seed from the few volunteers I currently have, and will get more from a buddy with an extensive garden of them.My question: Given the different varieties of color and pattern, does each color yield seeds in that color, or do they express the entire range of colors? My worry is that the whites have yielded the most seed, yet are my least favorite. I have not seen a garden consisting of just one color.
