Welcome To Recipes From the Heart

The old adage 'necessity is the mother of invention' was certainly true as I raised my children. When they were preschool age, my husband's company conducted a reduction of work force resulting in the loss of our only income. Have you ever read a recipe and had all the ingredients except one? Everyone has. So what do you do? Go to the store and buy the ingredient? That wasn't an option during those lean years. I learned to recreate recipes and create my own. I learned to enjoy opening the pantry and putting things together to make a new dish. I have kept the dishes through the years and still use them today. This site will feature my tweaked recipes and some I created on my own. Each of my adult books include recipes. I would love to know how you tweak my recipes for your family's taste or the supplies in your pantry.

Greenbean Casserole





My husband loves greenbean casserole.  One night last week I decided to make it.  I looked in the pantry and had no cream of mushroom soup.  So I decided to use what I did have.  This is what I did.




Drain greenbeans and place in sauce pan.
Cover with chicken broth.
Cook on stovetop until chicken broth reduces.
Place in buttered baking dish.
Cover with French's Fried Onion
Bake in 350 degree oven until warm.

My husband loved it.  When I told him it wasn't the regular recipe, he said he couldn't tell the difference and asked me to make it again.

I hope you try this and let me know if you make any changes.
