🍔 Friday night calls for an easy dinner!

My Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sliders start with slow-cooked chicken. Shred it and stir it back into the barbecue sauce. Pile the saucy chicken onto soft slider buns.

Add coleslaw if you like a little crunch on top.

These would be good for game night or a casual family supper.

Do you like sweet, smoky, or spicy barbecue sauce?

🥬 A head of cabbage can become something delicious!

My Slow Cooker Caramelized Cabbage and Noodles is buttery and satisfying.

Cabbage and onions cook with garlic, butter, and broth. Cook the egg noodles separately and stir them in at the end.

Serve it as a simple main dish or a hearty side. A spoonful of sour cream and fresh chives makes a lovely finish.

Did you grow up eating cabbage and noodles?

Sweet and salty treats are always welcome in my kitchen!

YaYa’s Pretzel Bark Bars start with a buttery brown sugar pretzel base. A smooth layer of melted chocolate goes right over the top. Add a little sea salt if you like that extra salty finish. The base bakes in just 12 minutes.

Then let everything cool and set before cutting into bars. They would make a lovely addition to a holiday treat tray.

Save this recipe for your next family gathering!

Would you choose milk chocolate or dark chocolate?

🍽️ Now this is a comforting homemade supper!

My Smothered Burgers cook slowly in onion and mushroom gravy. Brown the patties first for extra flavor. Then let the Crock Pot finish the cooking.

Serve them over mashed potatoes or rice to catch that gravy. Add a vegetable and bring everyone to the table.

Would you choose mashed potatoes or rice?

🧀 Sometimes the side dish is what everyone looks forward to!

My baked Macaroni and Cheese starts with a homemade cheese sauce. Sharp cheddar gives it plenty of flavor.

A little extra cheese on top makes that golden, bubbly finish.
Serve it beside chicken, pork chops, or your favorite meatloaf.

Save this one for family suppers and holiday menus.

Do you reach for a corner serving or scoop from the middle?

🥔 How about a warm bowl of Loaded Potato Soup!

Tender russet potatoes, bacon, and cheddar make this a hearty supper.
The creamy broth brings everything together.

This is a good recipe to keep handy for fall evenings. I’d serve it with bread for dipping.

Save the recipe for your next soup night.

What’s your favorite topping for potato soup?

🍪 That little fork pattern brings back memories!

My Peanut Butter Cookies have soft centers and crisp edges.

They’re a classic treat made from a vintage family recipe.

No fancy decorations needed, just those familiar crisscross tops. Put a few on a plate with a cold glass of milk.

Save the recipe for your next afternoon of baking.

What cookie reminds you most of your childhood?

A little molasses and warm spice make such a lovely homemade cookie!
YaYa’s Molasses Crackles are rolled in sugar before they go into the oven.
They bake up with pretty cracked tops and a sparkling coating.
Ginger, cinnamon, and cloves give every bite plenty of flavor.
Enjoy one with your afternoon coffee or a cold glass of milk.
They would make a wonderful addition to a holiday cookie tray, too.
Prefer smaller cookies? The original recipe includes a shorter baking time.
Save this recipe for your next baking day!

🍗 A little crunch makes chicken night even better!

My Crunchy Baked Chicken has a golden coating without frying. Use crushed cornflakes or seasoned breadcrumbs.

The dressing helps the coating stick and adds flavor, too.
Serve it with the pepper-onion dipping sauce for something different.

I’d add a vegetable and mashed potatoes to make a full supper.

Which coating would you choose, cornflakes or breadcrumbs?
