Butternut Squash Salad with Farro & Pepitas

This is RIDICULOUSLY good and something I love to make on a cold fall or winter day. It’s from Smitten Kitchen and I’ve been making it for years. I love buying the butternut squash from Costco or Sam’s when they already have it all cubed and ready to go…it makes this dish come together quickly.

Danette's Easy "Funeral" Potatoes

You don’t have to be attending a funeral to make this yummy dish. The name derives from the fact that this is pure, delicious, comfort food.

We love having it at holiday dinners.

Our family tradition is to make these for Christmas morning, and also twice a year for our church’s semi-annual General Conference.

Best Banana Cream Pie

When my cousin shared this recipe with me and promised it was seriously the BEST Banana Cream Pie, I was skeptical to say the least. I’m not even a big fan of bananas. I would never eat them plain as a snack. I might like them in ice cream with chocolate. She said she was the same before this pie. I took her at her word and made it last Thanksgiving. Even with 4 other pies, this pie was gone first…so dang good.
