Easter is almost here, so it’s a perfect time to share a recipe called Resurrection “Empty Tomb” Biscuits. And you’ll never believe how I ended up with the recipe in the first place. My good friend Nancy is an avid reader, and so am I. Recently she told me about a book she said I […]
Applesauce Rosemary Cake…A Match Made In Heaven!
I love my herb garden and I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate fresh herbs into my cooking and baking. So I stepped outside to snip some fresh rosemary to add to this cake I created…and that rosemary turned out to be the star of the show! Last month there was a knock on […]
Trust Me…The BEST Coconut Cream Pie EVER!
Sometimes it pays to listen to Peepaw…especially when it comes to coconut. The other day we were visiting with some of our friends and we decided to get together for a pot luck dinner on the deck…kind of a send-off for one of our snowbird friends who was heading back North. I asked the folks […]
Blueberry Lemon Walnut Bread…Yes Please!
Sometimes the best recipes are found in the strangest places, like this one for Blueberry Lemon Walnut Bread I found on the back of a bag of Southern Grove Walnuts from our local Aldi grocery store. Wowza…and YUM! The other day I was thinking about baking something without having to make a trip to the […]
Quick and Easy Chocolate Pudding…Make Someone Happy!
Chocolate pudding and grandkids go hand in hand. And I love to look back on my blog posts from years gone by…especially to see how much all seven of our grandchildren have grown. That’s when I realize how much time I have spent in the kitchen with our wonderful grandkids! I started writing my blog […]
Iced Sugar Cookies 2017…My Valentine Tradition Lives On
I can still remember the feeling of searching through a box of Valentine cards and spending hours deciding which card was right for each of my classmates. And in my case that consisted of everyone in the whole school! Sixty years ago I attended a one room country school in the heart of Amish country in […]
Try My Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting
Ideas for my blog posts sometimes come to me in crazy ways…like today. This coconut tree next door was my inspiration. (Yup…a coconut tree!) This was a gorgeous morning here in the Sunshine State, and I walked out on our deck to sip my coffee and to soak up some rays as I thought about […]
Apple Cream Pie…It’s As Simple As Pie Can Be!
Sometimes I like to spend hours puttering around in my kitchen. But sometimes I don’t feel like creating a dish with tons of ingredients and enough preparation steps to resemble the assembly of a piece of IKEA furniture! Sometimes I want SIMPLE. And that brings me to the amazing recipes to be found in the Four […]
Mom’s Frosted Creams…Another Long Lost Gem
All of those tailgate treats at the Outback Bowl made me hungry, so I decided to pick another long-lost recipe to make and to share with all of you. So here is Mom’s raisin-filled Frosted Creams Recipe. Early last autumn, I began to look through the recipe box I inherited from Mom and I realized […]
Mom’s Long Lost Ginger Crisps Cookies
Recipes are much more than a blueprint for preparing food. Recipes can be our connection to the past…and to the people we love. And that was so true yesterday when I stumbled upon my mom’s Ginger Crisps cookie recipe. I was feeling very nostalgic and a little sad in our much-too-quiet house after our amazing, […]
