Cucumber Onion Salad

This Cucumber Onion Salad has a perfect balance of cucumber, white onion, sugar and vinegar. The white vinegar is a must — it gives the salad that little bite that just begs you to sneak a few cucumbers right out of the bowl.

Cucumber Onion Salad

This is such a great classic!

It makes for a very easy side salad for a picnic or covered dish event. My mom kept this going in our fridge all summer.

No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or chunky but is seems to make a more crumbly, dry cookie
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups dry quick-cooking oats
Instructions
  1. Add the first six ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan. Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
  2. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted.
  3. Add in the vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract). Mix in the dry oats until they are completely coated.
  4. Drop the cookies by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper.
  5. Let cool until set.
Recipe Notes

I have found that the weather makes a difference on the consistency, its best to make them on a nice sunny day. Also, It is very important not to boil them for longer than one minute.

Excellent pie. This Old-Fashioned Banana Cream Pie is easy to make and delicious. Before Cool Whip and instant pudding this was how a cream pie was made.

It’s just as easy to make this in all its pudding variations as well: vanilla, coconut or banana.

Almost as easy as pudding out of the box but much tastier! This is the perfect grand finale to any summer cookout. Your guests won’t stop raving about it. It is so deliciously creamy and easy to make.

Surprise Coated Crisp Fish Filets

I’m not sure if these Surprise Coated Crisp Fish Filets use a secret fish coating but it’s certainly a surprise to me! I’m from the deep south and cornmeal is always what we use for coating.

Surprise Coated Crisp Fish Filets

But this fish browned up so nice and crispy I may never use cornmeal again!

The secret is potato flakes. You can either use plain potato as in the recipe or try some of the flavored types such as butter and herb.

I’m gonna’ try the Cajun seasoned next.

This Crock Pot Hamburger Potato Casserole couldn’t be easier. Very few ingredients and very little prep work. But it’s so delicious and so inexpensive it would be worth it at twice the work!

Crock Pot Hamburger Potato Casserole

Some people call it Lazy Shepherds Pie. My mother used to make it as well, but she didn’t use a crock pot just an over sized fry pan with a lid on the stove.

It’s versatile too. You can add other ingredients if you like. I almost always add carrots and corn. Just like a regular shepherds pie.
