Surprisingly, the broken clavicle is healing swimmingly. Though the plate the surgeon installed has lifted. The plate lifting was my husband's fault. He felt he was up to replacing the hubs on our truck. While working on the second hub, he lifted the tire too quickly... Read Full Story

This week we made Chicken Basin Street for our family night dinner. This recipe hails from McCall's Great American Recipe Card Collection, 1973. This dish is really easy to put together.

Steaming the rice was interesting for my daughter because she kept wanting to open the lid to check on it. I told her... Read Full Story

The recipe card pulled for this week was Oven Porcupines! When I saw it, I thought, well, it's meatballs. It turns out, they are a lot better than plain meatballs. This hamburger recipe comes from The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library, 1971, Budget Casseroles. As you know, mixing up a batch of meatballs can be a messy job.

This week our Family Night meal was Zippy Beef Casserole from The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library (1971), Budget Casseroles. When this recipe card came up I was thinking, "Oh, great, potato chips and pasta." The kids were excited about it, including the big kid, my husband. This beef dish goes together really easily and has ingredients you may have in your kitchen right now. We decided to use small shell macaroni instead of elbow macaroni. I purchased the shell macaroni in error. These... Read Full Story

The ingredients in this meatball soup are some you may have on hand. I just happened to have everything except for the beef broth. I should... Read Full Story
