  • Nani’s Version of Smokin’ Jeff’s Coleslaw

    I made a variation of a coleslaw recipe that I got from a favorite website of mine, Smoking-meat.com. It was my son-in-law’s birthday and the main dish was smoked pork sandwiches.

  • Super M&M Cookies

    Here is another oldie but goodie favorite recipe of mine. You can’t beat good ole M&M cookies! These are soft and chewy and putting the M&M’s on top makes them pretty, too. If you are in a hurry you can just mix all the M&M’s into the batter at one time. Always use real M&M’s,…
