For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

This is a potpourri of recipes from my late mother's recipe collection. These recipes are from a variety of places but all are quick, easy, economical, and tasty. Now what could be better than that? The first recipe is a simple turkey-rice casserole that is perfect for using up left-over chicken or turkey. You know we don't want to throw away food since it costs a lot to feed our families today! The second recipe is for Vinegar Dumplings. How long has it been since you've had homemade dumplings? They aren't hard to make and are very economical. Why not try your hand with this recipe? The third recipe is one I don't care for but I know that many of you do. It is Magic Fruit Cake. If you like old fashion fruit cake, give this recipe a try. You might want to make some as gifts for the holiday season.
