Sweet creamy dip with fresh fruit is a favorite at picnics and potlucks and bananas cut to look like dolphins make this extra special for children. This creamy dip is a FP and can be served with any type of fruit. Bananas, apples, and grapes are THM E and berries are a Fuel Pull.
Macaroni and Cheese has always been a family favorite. This baked version is as easy as using a boxed mix. Hidden among the creamy pasta is a vegetable. So it is a winner either way. Included in this blog post is a single serve recipe and a family size recipe.

Some days I forget that healthy carbs are so important in our diet, too. Today, I was in my basement and saw three bushels of sweet potatoes that we harvested from our garden last fall. My husband had wrapped each sweet potato individually in newspaper and packed them in crates. They are still as nice as when we first harvested them. I decided to try something different with them. Roasted Potato Skins were a former treat for our family and sweet potatoes worked wonderful for a healthy option. They were a hit with our family and I hope you will enjoy them, too. The Air-Fry Crisping with the Ninja® Foodi™ Pressure Cooker created a caramelizing crispness to these sweet potatoes.
I have come to love my Insta-pot, especially when it comes to cooking dried beans, meats, and rice. Our family likes baked beans but so many are filled of sugars and preservatives. This easy to make recipe uses dried navy beans for a very filling tasty side dish to a meal.
Our family loves rice made many different ways. There are times when I want rice with Sweet N Sour Fried chicken and that is where this recipe comes in. It is so delicious!! My nephew is in mission/relief work in Nepal and keeps me supplied with saffron. Saffron is an expensive spice but a little goes a long way and I do use it in certain dishes.

Cleaning out the remains of my garden this fall, I had a small bucket of Jalapenos to use up. Maybe I was being lazy but I didn’t want to take the time to can them. This recipe saved my day. It can be made in a very short time and best of all, they are so delicious. The Jalapenos are not super hot like you would imagine but have a mild sweet flavor. I may even have to buy some Jalapenos this winter to replenish our supply!
Refrigerator Pickled Jalapenos
Wash and slice Jalapenos, discarding the tops and stems. Pack into a quart jar. Fill the quart jar with water and shake to loosen some seeds. Pour the out the water and discard. Combine 3/4 cup water, vinegar, salt, and Gentle Sweet together. Stir until salt and Gentle Sweet are dissolved. Place garlic cloves and oregano on top of the jalapenos. Pour brine in to fill the jar. Add lid and ring. Store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before using if you can wait that long.
These are so tasty on wraps, burgers, omelets, and just about anything. They have a sweet mild flavor and we just love them.

Amish Macaroni Potato salad has always been a favorite with our family and for carry-in dish dinners. I have often wished for a healthier version (without potatoes) and after numerous attempts I have come up with this recipe using spaghetti squash. Our family loves it and the serving dish comes back to the kitchen completely empty. Most people are surprised what is used to replace the potatoes but comment on how tasty it really is.

This is my favorite chopper when I am canning. The children can help use it since the knives are covered by the lid.

This recipe is not FDA approved but has been used for many years with great success. Pressure Canning is not necessary with this recipe because of the amount of vinegar in it.
