Gluten Free products have take the country by storm. And this Hawaiian sweet bread recipe is delicious. Just ask my cousin Lynn…the creator of this marvelous loaf! Lynn showed up at a family luncheon with his own basket of gluten free products since he knew the rest of us who had cooked the meal were […]
Meemaw’s Mushroom Meatloaf – Good Enough For Company!
Meatloaf is a dish people love…or they hate. But there are so many variations on how to “doctor up” ground beef that even true meatloaf haters may need to think twice about writing it off. On a recent trip I decided to make meatloaf and mashed potatoes for our Indy family. The girls were thrilled, […]
Steamed Cod And Veggies In Parchment Paper – Fit For Company!
When we get a reservation at “The Meemaw Hotel”…I go into entertaining mode and I begin to plan our meals. Meals fit for company. Such was the case when we hosted two of our favorite “foodie” house guests, and my menu ideas took flight. I planned for two “fancy” meals at our house, but a […]
Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli With Sage Brown Butter Sauce
Autumn is the perfect time to make butternut squash ravioli. And it’s also the perfect season to entertain guests! When entertaining company, I love to try out new recipes, especially when I invite “victims” who seem to be willing to eat just about anything I cook! So imagine how much fun I had when I got […]
Pork Chops With Red Cabbage and Apples – An Autumn Feast
Pork Chops with Red Cabbage and Apples. Yes Please. If you are lucky enough to have an Aldi grocery store near you, you already know they offer a great selection of German items since that is where the company originated. And one day my daughter in law Sara gave me a jar of red cabbage […]
Beef Stew with Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Beef stew is the perfect dinner to serve on a cold an rainy Autumn evening, and several years ago I created a stew recipe that hit all the right notes for me. (And it still does.) First of all, I don’t like mushy potatoes in stew, but I LOVE garlic mashed potatoes. So I […]
Spaghetti Squash Shrimp Scampi…Meemaw’s Version
In honor of the recent announcement that bacon and red meat are going to kill us I decided to serve shrimp for dinner. (These gloom and doom reports sometimes make me laugh…and they always make me hungry!) I checked out a recipe for Spaghetti Squash Shrimp Scampi on a website called chefkey…and then I modified […]
Making Homemade Pasta From Scratch – It’s Child’s Play!
Making homemade pasta is much easier than most people think. It’s basically a mixture of eggs, flour and water, and maybe a sprinkle of salt (depending on which Italian grandma is making it!). So when our Indy girls spent a week with us this summer, (we call it GrandCamp) I decided it was the perfect time […]
Creamed Corn ala Garage Sale Book – Good Enough For Thanksgiving
I LOVE garage sales. Our car automatically pulls over to the curb when passing one. And the Creamed Corn recipe I recently discovered in a book I bought at a garage sale… well…that $1 book is now worth it’s weight in gold to me. And speaking of weight? This book is HEAVY! I’m not someone […]
Parmesan Encrusted Pollock with Potatoes and Green Beans
I love fish. And I love INEXPENSIVE fish even more. That’s why I was amazed by how good inexpensive Pollock can taste…with a little help from some dairy products you probably already have in your refrigerator. POLLOCK FILLETS For dinner I rinsed and dried some FROZEN Pollock fillets and placed them in a baking […]
