Chelle’s Home Grown Goodness
Welcome to my Blog
Amish Casserole
This is a wonderful recipe that I had received when I was about 19 years old from one of my campus roommates, as we both set off into married life. You can change the meat and add or remove vegetables as you choose, but it is a good base recipe and one that satisfies...
Dear Newlyweds…
How many times have you been invited to a bridal shower and during the "game" time, they hand you a card for you to write your advice to the new couple? Well, I'm not an "on the spot" kind of gal in terms of being able to give advice, and often struggle coming up with...
The Death of a Legend…
I struggled with how to title this writing, but when it came down to it, I thought that this was the best way to honor him. Uncle Johnny was a legend to everyone who knew him. He was one of the sweetest, kindest, most loving people that I have known and had the...
Fear or Faith…
Or should I title this, "Natural vs. the Supernatural"? Recently my sister received a diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Typically this is a very grim diagnosis, but I am battling in the heavenlies for her with every bit of faith that I possess. Both she and my...

Brother Bill
Back when we lived on 6th Avenue brother Bill was in the navy. One time when he came home, he was sleeping upstairs in the bedroom and mom told me that I would just stand there and watch him sleep because I loved him so. Another time I went to the Poor House, that was...
Toots and Ernie
I decided to add this category to my blog because family stories are oftentimes so funny and endearing, especially when they are told by Uncle Johnny. Tonight when I was talking to him, I asked him to tell me a story. He said, "Aww well, I don't know any stories". I...
How many times Lord?
How many times must I relearn how to give things back to you? To not hold on to feelings of hurt, sadness, disappointment, emotional hardships of various sorts. It seems like life is full of teachable moments regarding this. I have told others that if they will hand...
