Easy Recipes

These recipes are so easy my kids can make them or certainly help make them.  And my friends that freeze up in the kitchen, I believe they can make these too!

Just because you have a lot of skills in the kitchen doesn’t mean you have time to use those skills.  These easy meals will please the people you are feeding and save a lot of time!

The #1 new idea for an easy recipe is our Loaded Fries!  A close #2 is a meal I make often, our Farmhouse Stromboli that starts with frozen bread dough. An up and coming popular recipe is our Jiffy Broccoli Cornbread.

When my husband is working on the farm and needs a quick meal he’ll toss Italian Sausage, Peppers & Onions or Smoked Sausage, Potatoes & Sauerkraut in the Air Fryer.

For a super easy dessert that will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds be sure to try our No-Bake Oreo Peanut Butter Pie or Oreo Dirt Cake.

We love celebrating the holidays with easy recipes like these Valentine's Treats, St. Patrick's Day Treats and Halloween Treats.
