Growing up, my family's schedule seemed to revolve around mealtime. I have to attribute my love for home cooked food to my mother. She didn't believe in cereal and made us breakfast every morning. I think that deserves some kind of award. Pancakes were my favorite breakfast growing up and my mom made hers from scratch. To be honest, I didn't know you could buy pancake mix at the store until I went to college. I don't claim to be a fabulous cook. I just wanted a place to keep and share all the recipes I love.
My family all came together in the evenings to eat dinner. It was at this time that relationships were built and strengthened. I believe that family dinner is an important tool for cultivating love and strengthening the family. This is why I cook. This is why I share.

Macaroni Salad

  • 2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
  • 3/4 cups mayo
  • 1 can tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped sweet pickles
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed (I leave these out because I HATE peas, but my mom always put them in the salad.)


Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and add a small amount of pickle juice to make it creamy. Chill one hour before serving.
