Soup is ALWAYS on our menu no matter what the season, and my Broccoli Cheese Soup has been a family favorite for years. And I’ll let you in on a little secret. Some of the ingredients in this “homemade” soup come right out of a can! In my opinion there is absolutely nothing wrong with […]
Today Is National Buttermilk Biscuit Day…But Who Needs a Reason To Eat Biscuits!
I love the “national holidays” associated with random stuff. And since today is National Buttermilk Biscuit Day (who knew!) I reached back into my archives and pulled out my recipe for my Garlic Cheddar Biscuits to share with all of you. I posted this recipe during a visit to our Indiana grandgirls awhile back. And […]
Lilacs Blooming? Make Some Cookies? They’re DELISH!
Mother Nature pulled a fast one this year. It seemed as if Spring would NEVER arrive. But I’m patiently waiting for our lilacs to bloom this year so I can whip up a batch (or many) of these delicious Lilac Cornmeal Cookies! You see, last year our lilacs were nearly FINISHED blooming when we headed […]
Baby Pearl Tapioca Pudding – An Amish Dessert You’ll Love!
Unless you live in Amish country, I’m guessing you’ve never tasted baby pearl tapioca. It’s nothing like the Minute tapioca that comes in the red box. Baby pearl tapioca looks just like the name. Baby pearls. And trust me when I tell you not to let any of those little white beauties spill on your […]
Applesauce Raisin Walnut Cake – With A Hint Of Chocolate Too
Sometimes a jar of applesauce is all it takes to dream up a whole new recipe. As our winter season winds down, I’m always on the lookout for recipes that will use up the items in my well stocked pantry. I learned the hard way that I can’t leave items behind from one winter to […]
Gluten Free Apple Bundt Cake Proves Gluten Free Can Be DELISH
Gluten free baking is foreign territory to me, but I’m always willing to explore new tastes and new ideas in the kitchen. So when Cousin Lynn showed up at a cousin’s reunion with this Bundt cake last Fall I couldn’t wait to taste his creation. Some of the ingredients may be foreign to you, as […]
Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions Make THE BEST French Onion Soup
Wow. I had no idea how many people love French Onion Soup until I posted this photo on my Instagram and my Meemaw Eats Facebook pages! (If you don’t follow me on those sites…you should, since I post many photos and stories on those sites that I don’t share here on my blog.) So, by VERY […]
Chocolate Banana Walnut Bread – A Waste Not Want Not Creation
You know my motto. Waste Not Want Not. I noticed four bananas in our fruit bowl that had certainly seen better days. So rather than throw them away I began to think about how to use them. I wanted something different from the usual banana bread or cake. And I am beginning to use up items […]
This Chicken Marinade May Be Your Grilling Go To Sauce
I’ve never been a big fan of BBQ sauce, but I recently discovered a marinade for grilled chicken that has made me reconsider that statement. The other day I was looking for some kind of sauce or marinade that might “jazz up” some chicken pieces I had thawed out for dinner. And that’s when I […]
The Irish Bread Of My Ancestors – Back To My Roots
Man cannot live on bread alone, but if I HAD to try…THIS is the bread I would request. And since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner I decided to repost this Irish Soda Bread recipe I created last year. My Irish roots run deep…all the way across the pond to County Cork. (Remember […]
