My Mother Told Me These Have Been Her Favorites Since She Was A Little Girl

Last week I was struggling, trying to decide what dessert to make for my best friend’s baby shower. She loves all things old-fashioned, so I knew I wasn’t going to make a fancy, modern treat. Not that there’s anything wrong with those – and I’m sure she and everyone attending the shower would have loved any kind of dessert! But I still wanted to choose from classic dessert recipes, instead.

I have a pretty impressive collection of old and new dessert recipes but the problem was, there were too many to choose from! So I did what any woman would do when facing tough times; I turned to my mother. I asked what her favorite dessert recipe was when she was little.

I’m not sure if she actually helped me make a decision or not, since she came up with seven that she thought were equally amazing. Thanks, Mom… Well, I finally decided to settle on two desserts; #6 and #3 on this list. My best friend loved them both, and I got so many requests for the recipes that I decided to put together this list for all of you!

When it comes to creamy chicken macaroni salad my family is crawling with people who go crazy for the stuff.

Seriously, we can’t have a picnic or family dinner without creamy chicken macaroni salad. Now, the way I learned to make mac salad was with a more savory sauce as that’s the way we midwesterners do it. However, my darling husband is from Pennsylvania and the way folks over yonder make mac sauce is with a ton of sugar.

I don’t particularly like this method. Ok, I HATE this method lol! So, I needed to come up with a compromise to appease both of our tastes. Plus, I now live in PA so whenever I make macaroni salad it better have sugar in it or nobody will eat it haha!

This recipe I am sharing with you all today is for creamy chicken macaroni salad. I really don’t care if you are a savory or sweet mac salad lover you are going to chow this salad down so quickly that you won’t even have time to burp.

Quick Tip: I like to toss in some broccoli and cauliflower florets from time to time when making this salad.

Hey, guess what?! Creamed corn is here to stay! Hooray!

Creamed corn is always a hit with my family, so when my daughter-in-law (and trusty kitchen assistant), Krissi, saw this recipe she couldn’t wait to prepare it!  This would be a wonderful recipe to multiply for family reunions or potlucks. And would you believe it if I told you that at one point my family and I hated creamed corn? Then, I came across this heavenly recipe and that all changed. I know serve creamed corn quite regularly and my family couldn’t be happier.

I think the reason why this creamed corn is so good to me is that of the texture. it is not soggy like so many creamed corn recipes are. The corn stays crisp and firm and I like this as does my family. You could never, ever buy something like this in the store or in a can. Trust me, ladies and gentlemen, you are going to want to try this creamed corn recipe!
