Cox Family Recipes

      I'm so glad you decided to take a peek at our favorite family recipes. I've been working on making this page more accessible and hope if you've been here before that you like the changes I've made. If this is your first time here, believe me ... it certainly is a LOT better than it was before. I'm so excited about the new things I've learned ... like how to help each of you get to your points of interest without having to scroll down the whole page and possibly losing interest before you find what you're looking for. I really think you'll like the selection of recipes I have included here - I've tried to put a little of everything, with the hopes that everybody will be able to find at least one dish of interest.

      Main Course


      Chicken Divine - My bestfriend, Ann, served this dish when BJ and I visited her in Alabama. The first time I saw it, I thought, "I can't believe she actually expects me to eat this!" Thankfully she did. It's looks are deceiving. My entire family loves it, though they thought the exact same thing when I served it for the first time. :) Thanks Ann!

      Chicken Pot Pie - This recipe was originally a tuna pot pie recipe from Star Kist that I got out of the newspaper, but decided I'd experiment with canned chicken instead. And walla! A favorite is born!!

      Ham, Broccoli & Rice Casserole - This is a recipe I just kinda came up with on my own one day at the grocery store. Funny how when money's tight, you think of ways to make your money stretch. This one cost about $10, feeds a family of four (one member being a teenage boy, and we all know how much they eat!), and there's still enough left over to take to work for lunch the next day.

      Pepper Steak - There isn't an oriental restaurant around that makes pepper steak as good as this ... Being Japanese and an excellent cook, my mother spoiled my family's and my taste buds! This is just one of her wonderful recipes.

      Taco Salad - I got this recipe from my friend and ex-employer, Sheila Frazier. She'd brought it to work one day for lunch and had me try some. My family is ever thankful that she did, 'cause it's one of our favorites. And, since it's a cool meal, it's really great for those hot summer days here in Texas.

      Side Dishes


      Fried Rice - This is a recipe that my mother handed down to me. It's an EXTREMELY simple recipe and not very fancy, but everybody that's ever tasted it loves it.

      Sweets and Treats


      Cherry Angel Pudding - This last Christmas I was in an experimenting kinda mood. What a blessing it has been for my family. Christmas Eve I saw this recipe on an Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk can and thought, "What a pretty dessert, and oh doesn't it look delicious!" And believe me! It's absolutely Heavenly!!

      Cream Puffs - I got this recipe off of a calendar that I got from R.S. Frazier Roofing & Gutter Co. when I was working there. It sounded so good, I just couldn't pass up trying it! My dad says the cream filling reminds him of when he was young (that was a pretty long time ago, way back in the 1930's), and is one of his favorite treats because of it. For me, it most reminds me of chocolate eclairs. Mmmm Mmmm!!

      Peanut Butter Thumbprints - I found this recipe by Reese's Peanut Butter in the Sunday coupon section a couple of years ago. My husband loves peanut butter, so I thought I'd give it a try and surprise him with a dozen when I made my next trip to San Antonio (he was in the VA Hospital with his broken back at the time). And well, my assumption that he'd love 'em was right on target!! These are his favorite kinds of cookies.

      Quick and Easy Popcorn Balls - Once we started attending church, I'd gotten involved with the church Ladies Group. We meet once a month to discuss church needs (like purchasing additional bibles, organizing fund raisers to assist families in our community, etc.), fellowship dinners and special treats for the children. Well, the first occassion where we were making treats for the children, the Pastor's daughter, Traci, asked me to help her make 8 dozen popcorn balls. I readily agreed, and in doing so, she taught me this "quick and easy" recipe for making them. Since then, we've come to own an air popcorn popper, so I've volunteered my services to ALWAYS make the popcorn balls. Before I ever get them all done, I'd have to say my family and I eat about a dozen's worth of un-rounded popcorn balls! *LOL*

      - Susan Tolbert's Favorite Family Recipes
      We've tried the "Pork in Rice" recipe and my entire family loved it - though we all varied it's ingredients a little with our own portions.
      Our daughter tried it with soy sauce while our son preferred
      cheddar cheese melted on top. My husband and I liked combining
      the two ingredients in ours.

      - Cooking the Lepine Way!
      "THE Cheesecake" recipe is to die for! It made
      for a very tasty and romantic dessert on Valentine's Day.
      Everyone loved it, even before it was cooked!
      This is a MUST try for any true cheesecake lover.
      ENJOY!!

      As time permits, I will add more of our family favorites to this page. As it is though, I just wanted to get a few of them up, since I've been promising to do so ever since I first created my recipe page.

      You are the person to have checked out my recipes since it's creation on 5/12/97 and the last time I updated it was on Tuesday, 3/3/98.
