Chicken with Tomato Cream Sauce
Rob Austin2018-11-05T11:23:58-06:00The original recipe had two other kinds of meat and jarred sauce, so I modified it to use what I had on hand and more to my liking.

Mom’s Potato Salad
Rob Austin2018-08-12T23:25:05-05:00This is my mom's FAMOUS potato salad recipe. And I say famous because everyone else's mom made potato salad with egg or pickles or Miracle Whip.

My version of tomato soup

Robbie’s Mac and Cheese
Pam Austin2019-10-01T15:51:04-05:00Mac and cheese is heaven in a bowl to me, except when it comes out of a box and involves powder. I have been in search of the combination that makes you close your eyes and sigh when you take a bite. Last winter I finally found the cheese that would change everything — Prairie Breeze aged [...]
