Sue's Classic Green Bean Bake with a Twist
Recipe of the Week features a popular, old- time family favorite, the Classic Green Bean Bake ! Great for Christmas and Thanksgiving or just anytime for Sunday dinner? You don't have to wait for a holiday. Make everyday a holiday with this bean bake. Top your casserole with shredded mozzarella cheese for a delicious twist.

Black Beans
In the spirit of National Diabetes Month we have a recipe that is high in taste, low in sugar, and satisfying for the taste buds ! Black Beans is simple to prepare as a dinner or lunch entree. Add a green salad and you have a complete meal.

Mexican Macaroni & Cheese
This recipe was actually created by my daughter Evamarie and me while in the grocery store last week. A spur of the moment kind of thing. Since she loves macaroni and cheese we were thinking of how to make it with a little more "punch". This is what we came up with and I have to say she did a great job! According the taste testers in my family it got 2 thumbs up. I hope you will enjoy it too!

Cranberry Molded Salad
This is a tasty and beautiful treat.  Not only will this make a terrific centerpiece for your Thanksgiving family dinner it will also be delicious.  I like to use miniature marshmallows to top the mop and decorate around the mold.
