Beanie Weenies
Beanie Weenies have been a favorite for years. There are many different recipes for them. Some include Worcestershire sauce, some leave out the bacon. It’s a recipe that is begging for personalization. You can substitute 2 (28 ounce) cans of any flavor Bush’s baked beans. To make on the stove top: In a large cast iron skillet, brown the hot dogs and onion. Add remaining ingredients; mix to blend and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sangre de Cristo Salsa
This is my own personal recipe for garden fresh salsa, and I make a lot of it! I named this delicious salsa after the Sangre de Cristo Mountain range in New Mexico and Colorado. In Spanish, it means “Blood of Christ.” You can add to or subtract from the ingredients according to your own personal taste. You may substitute canned fire roasted tomatoes or canned diced tomatoes for the fresh Roma tomatoes. A combination of red and white onion may be used. I do this quite often as it makes for very interesting color.

Lemony Lemon Cake
This is the first cake that my great-granddaughter ever learned to make when she was eight years old. This was a favorite recipe of her great great-grandmother, and it is a staple dessert in our family. You may substitute lemon instant pudding for the lemon gelatin. The melted butter is a later addition made by Linda. It makes the glaze even better! The zested lemon can be omitted from the topping, if desired.This is an older recipe calling for an 18.25 ounce box of cake mix. These cake mixes have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake…

It may have originated in the South, but this tea is beloved by all Americans. It’s our favorite summertime drink…well, perhaps in addition to lemonade.
