Okay Clay, don't forget about the photo or GIF you said to remind you about. I saw your comment at the Bar & Grill and left you a comment. I'm fixing to post something there for you. Safe travels.

Ham & Cheddar Scones                                                                                                                                                               3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 cup diced fully cooked ham, 1/2 cup diced cheddar cheese, 4 green onions, sliced thin. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in cream just until moistened. Stir in the ham, cheese and onions. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet. Pat into a 9-inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges, but do not separate. Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm. (Note-if you don't want the meat in this dish, omit & add more of your favorite veggies to make up for the difference. You can buy a very small pre-cooked ham and dice it into cubes or the deli sells them diced. I don't substitute the cheese in this dish because the cubes of cheese helps bind it together & makes it so gooey. We love this for Supper a lot and like to pour fresh wild honey or fresh maple syrup on top. It is so delicious. I don't make anything else to add to this dish, since it's so filling.) Enjoy & Blessings.

Greek Salad with Green Grapes                                                                                                                                                   1 package (5oz) spring mix salad greens, 3 1/2 cups torn romaine lettuce, 1 large chopped cucumber, 1 cup green grapes, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1 cup (4 oz) crumbled feta cheese, 1 can (3.8 oz) sliced ripe olives-drained.                                                                                                                                                                              Greek Yogurt Vinaigrette: 3/4 cup white wine vinegar, 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp snipped fresh dill, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 7 tbsp olive oil. In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, yogurt, honey, dill, salt and pepper. Gradually add the olive oil in a steady stream til combined. Pour over salad; toss to coat. (Note-I use red grapes at times in this salad and always cut them in half so my grandsons won't get choked, also, I don't like walnuts and substitute with pecans or whatever nut you like best. I do like the black olives best in this dish, it adds more color, I like to grate fresh cheese over the salad at the end and I do add torn spinach to ours to give it a healthier kick.) Enjoy & Blessings.

Bacon & Egg Lasagna                                                                                                                                                                  1 pound sliced bacon, diced, 1 large chopped onion, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 to 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 4 cups milk, 12 lasagna noodles (cooked & drained), 12 hard-cooked eggs-sliced, 2 cups (8oz) shredded Swiss cheese, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese,  2 tbsp minced fresh parsley. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels. Reserve 1/3 cup of bacon drippings. In the drippings, saute onion until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook & stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Spread 1/2 cup sauce in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Layer with 4 noodles, a third of the eggs & bacon, Swiss cheese and white sauce.Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 35-40 minutes or til bubbly. Sprinkle with parsley. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Makes 12 servings. (Note-I do make this casserole the night before & refrigerate, then just pop it into the oven the next morning. We love this breakfast casserole for Dinner also. I like to serve with fresh fruit on the side. My husband, kids & grandsons love this casserole.) Enjoy & Blessings.

Brunch Fruit Salad                                                                                                                                                                        1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, 2 large firm bananas, cut into 1/4 inch chunks, 1 cup green grapes, 1 can (15oz) drained mandarin oranges, 1 Golden Delicious apple, sliced, 1 Red Delicious apple, sliced, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/3 cup orange juice, 1 tbsp lemon juice. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Combine the pineapple, bananas, grapes, oranges & apples in a large bowl; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine sugar & cornstarch. Add the orange juice, lemon juice and reserved pineapple juice; stir until smooth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour over fruit; mix gently. Cover & refrigerate until serving. Yields 10 servings. (Note-I do slice the grapes in half after I measure out 1 cup. My grandsons are small & I prefer them smaller instead of whole, all of my family loves this fruit mixture, you can substitute different fruits also. It is very refreshing at barbecues we have in the Summer, since it's served chilled.) Enjoy & Blessings.

Strawberry Fruit Dip                                                                                                                                                                     1 cup sliced fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Assorted fresh fruit. In a blender, combine the strawberries, sour cream, sugar & vanilla extract. Cover & process until smooth. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into strawberry mixture. Cover & refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with fresh fruit. (Note-This is such a fast fruit dip that does need constant refrigeration. I like to serve this with sliced apples, kiwi fruit, cantaloupe slices, watermelon slices, honeydew melon slices & strawberries(whole). I also will pour it over sliced fruit in small individual bowls. A little goes a long way. It's refreshing when served on a hot day with a family barbecue outside.) Enjoy & Blessings.

A few tips from my kitchen to yours: Use glass or ceramic made dishes for baking foods made with eggs or with acidic foods such as tomatoes or lemons. Baking pans made of aluminum, iron or tin can react with these foods, causing discoloration in your finished product. Use metal baking pans when you want to brown your food, don't use glass dishes for this under a broiler because it can cause the glass to shatter. Also, I don't have a double boiler for cooking or melting. Instead I take my stockpot, boil my water, add a heavy gauge stainless steel mixing bowl inside. This works perfect if you are melting chocolate or making custards. Enjoy & Blessings.

Hello Divine, I am sure you can add Stevia to the recipe instead of regular sugar. We love maple syrup at our house and I always order Canadian Maple Syrup every year. I do substitute that for the sugar at times, our 3 grandsons love the maple syrup and even fresh wild honey. Yummy! I have Pyrex also and love them, have been using them for years. I gave our daughter some of them too. I have the white Owens Corning dishes too, but find myself using my Pyrex all the time. A few of them have a red cover to put over them after the food has cooled. I love those for baking my cakes or my Chocolate Delight that our kids & grandsons love! Ha ha. I had our 23 month old grandson yesterday while they all went to a Water Park, he is so funny and loves to eat. He's so chubby and wants bite-bites all the time. I try to prepare meals or snacks that are healthy & like for them to experience all the varieties of food. Thanks for posting & I miss you. Have safe travels home.

Southwest Sausage Bake                                                                                                                                                            6  flour tortillas (10 inches), cut into 1/2 inch strips, 4 cans (4 oz each) chopped green chilies, drained, 1 pound pork sausage, cooked & drained, 2 cups (8 oz) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 10 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tsp each-salt, garlic salt, onion salt, pepper & ground cumin, Paprika, 2 medium sliced tomatoes. In a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish, layer half of the tortilla strips, chilies, sausage & cheese. Repeat layers. In a bowl, beat the eggs, milk & seasonings; pour over cheese. Sprinkle with paprika (just enough to season). Cover & refrigerate overnight. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Arrange tomato slices over the top. Bake 10-15 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yields 12 servings. (Notes from me: I don't like sausage, but my family does, at times I will substitute thick sliced bacon for sausage. You can also use smoked sausage also. If you want it meatless, add more veggies like colored bell peppers, onions, mushrooms. I also set out small bowls of salsa & sour cream for everyone to spoon on top of their serving of this casserole. I serve this casserole with crusty French bread or Sourdough bread toasted & slathered in butter or herb butter. This is so easy to prepare & can be eaten for Supper or Breakfast.) Enjoy & Blessings.

Easy Chow Mein                                                                                                                                                                           1 pound ground beef, 1 medium chopped onion, 1 bunch sliced celery, 2 cans (14 oz each) Chinese vegetables (drained), 2 envelopes brown gravy mix, 2 tbsp soy sauce, hot cooked rice for 8 servings. In a skillet, cook beef & onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a 3 quart slow cooker. Stir in the celery, Chinese vegetables, gravy mix & soy sauce. Cover & cook on low for 4 hours or til celery is tender, stirring occasionally. Serve over a bed of rice. Yields 8 servings. (Note from me: You can find canned Chinese veggies in the grocery store where the can veggies are, also, I buy fortune cookies & place them in a bowl for everyone to have one after eating. This is a fast easy meal to prepare, I do substitute brown rice at times for white rice. If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook this in a large stock pot on medium- low heat, keep an eye on it & stir frequently. My family loves this during the Winter months. My 3 grandsons love for theirs to be sprinkled with shredded cheese. You can create various options) Enjoy & Blessings.
