Hi there! I just stumbled upon your blog, clicking on "Next Blog" from my own blog dashboard...and thought what a nice idea you have to share your family recipes as you do among yourselves, and with others. Then BINGO--I saw your recipe for pears....I just bought a big box of pairs, too, when on an excursion with a friend to a "hard discount" store about twenty miles from where we live in Versailles, France. I'm so glad to have found a solution for some of those pears...! Thanks! Patti from http://a-french-education.blogspot.com

Hi Patti! So glad you stumbled upon our blog. My sister, Ashley, is the one who made the pear cake and it was SO good. I hope you enjoyed it and got some good use out of all those pears. Visit our blog again! We would like to update more often. But being busy with family prevents us from doing as much as we would like. Thanks again for visiting!

Pepper Penne by Ashley

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
