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!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

This weeknight meal is a favorite of our children. It can be prepared to be frozen and baked when needed or with a little help from the kids can be prepared to bake in only a few minutes.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup oats
1 egg slightly beaten
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 tsp salt
Dash of pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire
1/3 cup milk

Mix well and form into 2" balls. I use a 2 tbls scooper, place single layer in a greased casserole dish. Make sauce to pour over top.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp prepared mustard
1 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1 tsp worcestershire

Combine all and blend thoroughly. Heat for 2 minutes in microwave or on stove top. Pour on top of meatballs. Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes at 350.

Serve over rice.



Lemon Cake

This is an all time Gentry favorite! Wether you make it in a 9x13 cake pan or a big cookie sheet it is light and refreshing.

1 Lemon cake mix
1 pkg instant lemon pudding
1 cup oil
6 eggs
1 1/4 cup water

Mix all ingredients together, pour into a greased pan. Bake at 350 for 20-35 minutes. While cake is baking mix up glaze.

2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
Yellow food coloring*

Remove cake from oven and poke with a fork. Pour glaze on warm cake.
