SHERRY & JESSE'S KITCHEN

Hello there!

Jesse & have been married for 19 years and counting and have lived together for 22 years now.  We were 18 & 20 years old when we started out and learned a lot about life, love and other things along the way.  We have two kids - Jaqi, age 18 and JJ (Jesse Jr.), age 15.

We live in central Minnesota, about an hours drive north of the Twin Cities.  We have a dog named Kirby (after the great Kirby Puckett).  We have a large extended family that lives close so lots of family coming around or us going to family functions.

Since our first years together, we have loved cooking!  We have different styles, but after all these years, have learned to work well together in the kitchen.  We cook together a lot, but also work alone in the kitchen to make meals for the whole family.

This blog is meant as a way to share the recipes we have learned to cook over the years and to share our experiences making the tried-and-true recipes, along with new recipes.

Now that the kids are older, I have found myself with more time and cooking has become more a hobby for me than it was before.  Pinterest also helped launch me into cooking more, with all the great recipes out there to try!

This is new to me, so it will be a work in progress.

PEANUT BUTTER RICE KRISPIE BARS My mother always put peanut butter into her Rice Krispie bars. When I made them when I was older I had to guess each time how much.  I finally figured out what worked and wrote it down so it wasn't a guessing game. People compliment me on these all the time when I bring them places.  They are not as cloyingly sweet as some Rice Krispie bars can be.  First, I always use the original Kellogg's Rice Krispie bar recipe, never a generic version.  The other versions tend to have the same amount of marshmallows, more butter,  but less rice krispies making them sweeter (to me, anyway).  I don't care what brand of rice krispies I use, I buy whatever is cheapest, but it has to be the original Kellogg recipe.  Second, I always add the peanut butter. They are just so much better that way! Because of the peanut butter, when I bring them places, I always tell people there is peanut butter in them (or label them) becaus...
CHICKEN ALFREDO BAKED ZITI We were going to visit relatives at their lake place and they wanted pasta for dinner, like Alfredo.  Jesse said I make really good red sauces, but have never made a great white sauce.  I kind of agreed - it just wasn't something I did often because when I had it wasn't really special enough to stand out. Never to be discouraged, I did a little research and found some recipes for Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti.  Using ziti in a casserole version fit our purposes, rather than fettuccine with Alfredo sauce.  Using ideas from two pins  (see Pinspirations at bottom) , I created my own .  I made each component and stored them separately  overnight.  In the morning I layered them in a cake pan and packed them in the cooler to be made that evening in the oven. It was AWESOME!  They were all impressed, especially Jesse.  He's never been a huge fan of chicken or Alfredo because it tends to be bla...
