Chicken Supreme
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box I apologize to all French chefs for this one. Google tells me that “Chicken Supreme” is chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce that is a riff on a velouté sauce. That is not what this recipe is, but I will say that this was really good, and both easier and…

Strawberry Mold
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box Here we go, another Jello atrocity! Spoiler alert though, once again it was better than I thought it would be. Earlier in the summer we picked too many strawberries, so I chose this recipe to use up some of the strawberries I had stuck in the freezer. Between Cyclospora and…

Gingery Fried Chicken (Karaage)
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box This was one of the most delightfully unexpected recipes to come from the box. Eating karaage and other Japanese street food treats at summer festivals is one of my core summer memories from my time living in Japan. Until recently I didn’t get the impression that many Americans had even…

Amaretto Chicken Breasts
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box I love amaretto, so I was super excited to try this recipe. The Amaretto flavor was amazing with the stuffing, and the whole family loved this recipe. Right off the bat I screwed up the recipe, since I bought boneless skinless breasts instead of bone in, but everything still turned…

Simple Shrimp Scampi
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box There are at least 4 shrimp scampi recipes in the box I inherited from Aunt Deb. Clearly it was a dish that she loved! I started out trying the simplest one since I was looking for something quick and easy. Unfortunately, with a 4 year old and a picky husband…

Granny’s Baking Powder Biscuits
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box Who doesn’t love a biscuit? These are not the best biscuits I have ever made (I much prefer a buttermilk biscuit to baking powder), but they were quick and easy and didn’t require any ingredients that I don’t usually have on hand. Except margarine… you could easily go with butter…

Cowboy Spaghetti
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box Once again I was looking for a quick weeknight meal, and this fit the bill. It was far more delicious than I expected, and reminded us a bit of Skyline Chili, which is already a big hit in our household. This certainly won’t replace the typical Italian red sauce pasta…

Posh Squash
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box This recipe was written out three separate times in the box, so I knew I had to make it before squash season was over. When it comes to summer vegetables I am usually the type to either just stick it on the grill or sauté in a pan, because who…

Peanut Butter Cookies
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box This recipe is credited to Lynda Wenske, who’s name is on a few recipes in the box. My guess is that she was a friend of Aunt Deb’s. This is a great peanut butter cookie recipe. It whips up quickly, and using shortening instead of butter gives them a great…

Blueberry Pie
From Aunt Deb’s recipe box One more blueberry recipe to finish off the bounty of our blueberry picking. Since I don’t make it often, I forgot how good pie can be, And so easy to make! This pie had a great tartness to it, and went great with vanilla ice cream. I was a little…
