PaPa Joe's No Bake Cheesecake

My dad brought this recipe home from the boat years ago and we have enjoyed it many, many times.  He gets pretty creative with his toppings, like his famous banana split version with bananas, strawberries, pineapple, and chocolate swirls, but I prefer strawberry or just plain.

*Tips from PaPa Joe
Put the sweetened condensed milk in the refrigerator so it will be cold when you are mixing it.
Whip the mixture until you just think you can't whip it any longer and then whip it more.  It should form peaks.  (HA!)
If you decide to use pineapple, the acidity of the juice will not let the pie set up very well.

Rhonda's Yummy Foods: Part 2: Green Bean Casserole

So, this is the second post and features the delicious green bean casserole we all drool over.   You have seen this in commercials, movies, and countless posts online.  Oh! Those crunchy onions and creamy spoonsful of green beans!  Who could resist?  It originates from this recipe on the back of French's Crispy Fried Onions.  People have tried to make it their own and alter it, but the original it perfection in Pyrex, in my opinion.

Each family gathering means my children will undoubtedly ask for a few things.  Without fail they will ask that my sister make the following items:

-broccoli rice casserole

-green bean casserole

-Jello cake

Each and every one of these things are AMAZING and just part of what makes the table complete.  Here is the first of two posts!  (Jello cake already has a spot on here because we take turns making it for different holidays.)

Corn Casserole aka Corn Pudding

This time of year has me all excited about the flavors of fall and you don't get a better harvest food than corn!  Corn casserole is a new addition to our family Thanksgiving feast, but after bringing it last year, we have all decided it needs to be a staple on our table.  There are many varieties of this recipe, but this simple one is quite delicious, cheap, and easy peasy.  You can easily double or triple the recipe and get the same delicious results.

Cheesy Hash Brown Casserole

This recipe is a family favorite that comes from our Phelps side. The Crisp side expects it at get togethers not, too! It is always cleaned up at every meal.  We have made this a breakfast meal by mixing in cooked bacon or cubed ham before we bake it. Any way you make it, it is YUMMMMM! YUMMMMM!
