Love your new website; keep them coming and don't stop. I use your recipes all the time!

--Mary

Hi Mary and Patricia! Thanks so much to you both for the kind words. I’m so happy to hear you like the look of the redesigned website. It may look a bit different, but it still has hundreds of tried-and-true homestyle recipes for the traditional home cook. And we are always adding more! And stay tuned for some Mother's Day features, and be sure to share your "Mom Memories" with the Grandma's Kitchen community!

    I tried to make beef stew in slow cooker; it came out too soupy and potatoes still a little hard. How long should it cook? Instruction book gives no clue, no recipe book, nothing as a guide. Thank you. --Connie

  • Question
    I often buy boxed mixes -- rices, cornbread, pastas -- when they're on sale. I often don't use them right away and I've found I've gotten bugs in them, which is why I always pour the mix into a bowl before I put it in the pot. My question is, would it be safe to put the boxes in the refrigerator or freezer, so they would keep better? Would it compromise the quality of the product? Thank you, Tina

    Hi Betty! My family loves your casseroles and baked dishes, but I’m trying to watch my weight, and also want my kids and husband to eat healthier. How can I “make over” a casserole like your Saucy Beef Parmigiana so it’s healthier and less fatty? --Barbara

  • Question
    My sister was born in the early 1950's, she said my mother used to make a white "chocolate chip bar." The bars were white but had real chocolate chips in them. I've been trying to find a recipe like this. My mother didn't have a written recipe for it, but knew what she was talking about, she asked me if I recalled them and I didn't. I was wondering if you have a recipe and where I could find it.

    There was a recipe in the original Grandma’s Kitchen recipe cards for Fettucine Alfredo. Can you add this recipe to your site?
