Uncle Dave's Husky Treats

Uncle Dave's Husky Treats were first made for my nephew's high school soccer team: Hughson High School Husky Soccer Team, 1995 - 1996. They have been a favorite of our family and friends for almost 30 years.
Not much has changed since I first started making them, except you now have to buy Skor Toffee Bits online. I have not found any suitable substitute.

Jacques Pépin's Crêpes Confiture

CREPES ARE NOT SCARY! THEY ARE NOT MAGIC! THEY ARE EASY! This recipe can be used for sweet or savory crepes. Jacques Pépin: "I always had crêpes as a child, and made them countless times for my daughter and granddaughter. There is nothing easier than making crêpes. I put a piece of butter to melt in a skillet, and by the time that butter is melted I have mixed enough milk, flour, and an egg to make half a dozen crêpes. You can serve them with jam inside or something savory, like ham or cheese. Easy and delicious."

Nuts & Bolts

This is one of our absolute family favorites! And it also happens to be the first** recipe ever entered into The Ferguson Recipes, almost 19 years ago! You can read more about our version in the recipe's comments, but the most important things to remember is that it takes a lot of time, a lot of good, fresh ingredients, and a lot of love to make this the best Nuts & Bolts ever!
**The sharp-eyed among you will notice that it is recipe #6. And that there are actually recipes #1, #2, #4, and #5 that were added later. This is because of working through the new code way back then!

Instant Pot Chicken Thighs

This turned out waaay better than I expected. Chicken was fall-apart done. And delicious with some grilled zucchini.

Annie's Breast Of Chicken Supreme On Stainless Steel Platter

This is an excellent dish for hors d'oeuvres, suppers, buffet suppers, luncheons or dinner parties. It was a favorite dinner party dish from my parents, Anne and Carl Ferguson. It is a delight to serve at the table with only a salad, bread and wine. My mother served meringues with ice cream and fruit as dessert.

Sausage Gravy

Based on the recipe by Ree Drummond at The Food Network. I love this recipe and make it quite often. It is just so easy to make. It was especially a favorite of my brother-in-law, Keith Monroe. Go easy on the nutmeg and the cayenne pepper, but there can never be too much sausage.

Make Ahead Blender Hollandaise

I make this a lot, maybe once a month at least. It is so quick and easy, but be sure to read the raw egg caution in the recipe.

Chocolate Dipped Creams AKA Neenahs

These are a special family favorite around the holidays. The nickname - Neenahs - comes from the way they look when you shape them into thumb-sized bars and dip one end in melted chocolate. You figure it out.
