Pineapple-Raisin Slaw
When I first came up with this recipe (back in college) I named it California Cole Slaw. Today, there are SO many recipes with that same name (totally different recipes than mine) I thought it would be too confusing. This is a sweet, delicious alternative to the standard Cole Slaw. Almost like Carrot Raisin Salad…
Dad’s Bread Pan Pheasant

If you don’t like pheasant, or don’t have one handy, you can easily substitute chicken (either a whole fryer, and follow the recipe exactly OR use whatever parts you like best and…

Chicken Enchilada Casserole
