Hotlink Cornbread Skillet

Hotlink Cornbread Skillet It’s football season! Patti and friends love the game; Ken and friends love the snacks. We all root for Dallas.

It was delicious and long gone…

Prairie Fire

 Prairie Fire I have worked on this recipe for over 25 years, and have fine tuned it to a religious experience. They are great for tailgating and Super Bowl parties.
