  • Taco Seasoning

    Taco Seasoning

    by: 

    When making tacos, we typically opt for the Old El Paso taco seasoning mix, but when other recipes call for taco seasoning, we like to use this custom mix.

  • Hamburger Steaks

    These hamburgers are delicious when grilled. They are meaty, moist, and amazing. We like to mix these up for the family to enjoy, or when we have guests coming over.

  • Thin Crust Pizza

    Found this thin crust recipe on the Lodge Cast Iron website. It was part of a recipe of the month for them. I love pizza…our whole family does. I particularly like the cracker crisp crust of a thin crust pizza.

    One of the best things about having a garden and planting zucchini is making this bread. If you have more zucchini than you know what to do with…start up the oven and bake up this delicious, sweet bread.

    These cinnamon buns are a replica of the famous Cinnabon. They are amazing. We once funded a missions trip to Honduras by selling these at our church every Sunday morning . They are irresistible.

  • Four Score Beef Rub

    Four Score Beef Rub

    by: 

    For quite some time this was just referred to as “Beef Rub”. I needed an official name and finally “Four Score” was added as a result of most of the ingredients start with 4. This is amazing on brisket and I frequently use it on London broil as well when we’re making beef tacos.
