An easy-peasy Fall Bake Sale favorite! And no baking whatsoever! What's not to like? You can even make the kids do it. We package this in snack-size zipper bags with the printed recipe found in the instructions below and sell for 75 cents... MORE»

Italian Beef Sandwiches, West-Sider Style

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

These are the greatest — and since most of my family no longer lives in or near the West Side of Chicago or its next-door neighbor suburbs, we need something to get our fix. Imagine, right after we moved, we bought "Beefs" at a stand,... MORE»

Surprise Packages

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This was 2nd Place winner in the 1994 Chicago Tribune Holiday Cookie Contest. The baker: Carol Feezell. While I don't know Ms. Feezell, I most certainly admire her creativity and patience, and for difficulty she deserved first place. For the... MORE»

Pickled Beets

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This was a staple on my darling Grandmother's Thanksgiving table. Grandma could bake such light, delicious morsels you'd think you were in heaven, and her veggies were usually pretty good. Sadly, meats were not her forte, so tasty, tangy, juicy... MORE»

Bourbon Balls

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

A Christmas treat from way back, this is as close as I think I'm going to get to Mom's Famous Bourbon Balls, which we kids were NOT allowed to have. Strictly grown-up stuff, we were told — mostly for the 20-plus special baskets for business... MORE»

Ricotta-Stuffed Meatloaf

(1 reviews) Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This was a Sunday dinner staple for some years in our family. Over time, tastes changed, spouses and children were added, (in some spouses' cases subtracted!) and then we thought the recipe was lost. This is a good approximation of what we used... MORE»

Overnight Monte Cristo Casserole

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

Always looking for that "one new dish" to add to the Christmas Brunch repertoire, but really, it's good any old time. This may be just a little rich for every day, but whenever you absolutely need to make a party out of breakfast,... MORE»

Market Day Casserole Revisited

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

My goodness — the fat content and calories per portion were sky high in the original recipe, but really, it's not that bad, promise! Please see below for adjustments: MORE»

Market Day Tomorrow Casserole

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This came about when we were just about out of everything "good" and the Market Day order was coming in the next day, which means clearing out the freezer. For those who don't have Market Day, it is a fundraiser whereby you buy (mostly)... MORE»

Easy Spring Potato Salad

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

My family's favorite version of sour cream potato salad. Fat-free sour cream is just fine in this recipe; sometimes I add a touch more garlic for a richer taste if I go with the low-fat version. My Mom likes it with some crisp bacon crumbles to... MORE»

Bringalong Beans

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This is my family version of what some call Cowboy Beans or Picnic Beans. There's probably as many names as versions, and here is ours! My kids loved this when they were little, after all-day outdoor soccer and called it Beanie Stuff. My sister... MORE»

Easy-Peasy Creamy Italian Crock Pot Chicken

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This is so easy, it's almost embarassing posting it. Perhaps a version is already here, but this is how we do it. Try the chicken with homemade dumplings, like my daughter begs for, but DO make the dumplings separately in a steamer or separate... MORE»

Pecan Caramel Sandwiches

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This recipe sounds very labor intensive, and probably is, but it's so much fun to do with the family — if you can keep them from eating all the Rolos! It's probably a little on the expensive side, but on the other hand, if you just use some... MORE»

Brussels Sprouts in Bleu Cheese Sauce

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

Okay, this is not for the kids' table, but it is a way to put something green on the holiday table. Maybe you'll even get an "oooooh" or two! MORE»

Honey-Caramelized Onions

(1 reviews) Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This is stupidly easy, and looks fancy! Makes an attractive side dish on a holiday table, but be sure to make lots if your family likes onions - they'll eat it up fast! MORE»

Confetti Roasted Root Veggies

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This is so good! You'd never expect a combo like this to be a hit with kids, but maybe the colors get them to try it. Anyway, it's always a hit at our house, and you can add or subtract different types of veggies according to what you have on... MORE»

Creamy Un-Sweet Potatoes

(5 reviews) Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

We've frequently had sticky-sweet sweet potatoes as guests. They're good, but my family doesn't like their dessert for dinner! This is another way to prepare a traditional food for Thanksgiving, and it goes so well with turkey. It's fast and... MORE»

Mom's Very Rich Shortbread

Posted by Cinnamom in Illinois

This recipe is passed down to all of the girls in our family, I think maybe in the womb??? We have adjusted it over the years to reflect current measures and methods for baking. It is a very delicate dough, so is perfectly suited to making in a... MORE»

M&m Cookies

This recipe comes from the back of a Holiday M&M's package. We first tried this recipe about 15 years ago (maybe more). Firstly, it is delicious and has become the most requested recipe for the giant family cookie party tray, no matter what... MORE»

Bonnie's Famous Mocha Shortbread

This recipe combines some of our family heritages — Scottish by way of Italy? If we tried to combine ALL of them at once, it would be a terribly wondrous thing! This delicious dark mocha (for the Italian)shortbread (for the Scottish)does... MORE»
