If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!
2 cups flour
1 tbsp. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
Mix ingredients, knead about 20 strokes. Roll or pat out dough on floured surface 3/4" thick. Use something circular to cut out biscuits. (I just use a cup)
Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10 - 14 minutes.
This recipe comes from
Kraft Foods. I made this ahead all except for the baking and froze it for a future night.

This family favorite is one that I remember eating as a child and is a favorite of my children.
1 large box Lime Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
1 can crushed pineapple
1/8 tsp peppermint extract
16 oz Cool Whip
8 oz mini marshmallows
Place can of pineapple in freezer to get really cold (this is optional but it helps to speed up the preparation of this dish). Dissolve Jell-O in water then add cold pineapple stir and place in fridge or freezer until it gets sloppy. Stir in the remaining ingredients spoon into an 11 X 13 pan or serving bowl and refrigerate until set up.
*Optional ingredient to add is crushed up after dinner mints. This was an original ingredient that my grandma would put in and makes the salad very colorful.
