	Mississippi Comback Sauce by Terri Powers Sadly, we are back home from our vacation in Florida. It was wonderful. I hated to leave. As a matter of fact, on our way out to the car after returning the keys to the house we rented I shed a tear or two. It's hard to leave family behind.After a two day trip home and even after a good night's sleep, I still didn't feel like cooking…	1 vote 462 views
	Cuban Chorizo Sweet Potato Stew by Terri Powers The North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission is having a "No More Mallows" Recipe Contest and I have decided to enter.Like most everyone else, when I was growing up Candied Sweet Potato Casserole, with or without marshmallows, was a staple at our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner table.But sweet potatoes are more versatile than that.…	1 vote 458 views
	Frito Snack Mix by Terri Powers I think it should be called "Frito Crack Mix." It's that addicting. I just made it yesterday and it's almost gone.Tom loves Fritos. They are one of his favorite guilty pleasures. Pure processed faux chip food. He also loves movies. And when he watches movies he like to munch....nuts, pretzels, chips, Fritos...anything crunchy.Tom…	1 vote 432 views
	Spumoni Cake by Terri Powers Spumoni is Tom's favorite ice cream flavor. Well, except for any combination with peanut butter in it. Anyway, what he loves about spumoni is the nut, cherry and chocolate flavors layered and swirled with each other to create the unique combination, yet retain their own individual flavors. When I saw Katy's Spumoni Cake @ Food for a…	1 vote 298 views
	Taco Soup by Terri Powers I am not usually one to use almost all canned or frozen foods in any one recipe, but this recipe contains almost all canned or pre-packaged ingredients and various seasonings. Granted, I could have cooked up two kinds of dried beans. That would take about 2 hours. I could have used fresh tomatoes, but I would first have to quickly…	1 vote 619 views
	Oreo Cookie Cake by Terri Powers I came across a recipe for this cake several years ago. It is supposed to be a copycat recipe for a cake that was served at TGI Friday's, but I cannot confirm that. I haven't eaten at TGI Friday's in years and when I did, I only ordered the Asian Chicken Salad. I never looked at the dessert menu.The recipe includes directions for a…	1 vote 1 comment 1163 views
	It's About to Get Ugly by Terri Powers The temperature hit 70 degrees on my back porch before noon.What happens to folks when the weather turns warm? I don't know about you, but I want to start my spring cleaning.Don't get me wrong, I know this warm-ish weather will be short lived, but it still gave me the itch to clean, sort, donate, toss and organize. After I saw this…	1 vote 415 views
	Cranberry Salsa by Terri Powers I know I've been posting quite sporadically since just before Thanksgiving. I'm still a little sick. No fever, but I have what I call my mucous moments that last anywhere from a half hour to 45 minutes....coughing, nose blowing, head draining disgusting moments. Then I'm just exhausted. But it's getting better.My Thanksgiving was…	1 vote 442 views
	Beef and Sweet Potato Stew with Homemade Spaetzle by Terri Powers I know that I have been AWOL since before Thanksgiving, but I have a really good excuse. I've been sick since the day after Thanksgiving. Nothing life threatening. Just a very bad cold. But when you're old like me, a cold can really take its toll on your body.I'm finally on the road to recovery and cooking.We've had lots of rain since…	1 vote 555 views
	It's Final by Terri Powers For appetizers, bite-sized Asian Turkey Meatballs. I found this recipe at Gina's Skinny Recipes and loved them. I made them for the first time and posted the results in March 2010. I've made them many times since then, both for appetizer and entree.To keep things simple, we will steam some shrimp and serve it with a quick and…	1 vote 483 views
