Introduction

I have had several people ask me for recipes that I have used.  I am a good cook----not a fancy cook.  I cook meals for Pilot Club of Houston once a month.  Because I donate the proceeds to PIF(the charity arm of Pilot), I want the meals to be cheap and delicious.  I am always looking for good recipes.  My mom was a fabulous cook and since she is gone now I would like to share some of her recipes too.  I have all her cookbooks and will post those that the relatives ask for.  I like easy but tasty recipes.  I hope you will take these recipes and enjoy them.


This recipe my mom found.  It is always a big hit.  Never bring any home when I take it somewhere.  Easy preparation and does not take much time.  Anyone can make this.
