From Biscuits To Biplanes…All In One Day – GrandCamp 2018
Biscuits and Biplanes? Please allow me to explain that unlikely combination. A rainy morning is the PERFECT time to stay in bed, but my, how times have changed. Kids no longer grab a comic book or watch cartoons in their pajamas. They are now glued to their electronic devices! And biplanes were the farthest thing […]
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 […]
Chocolate Banana Walnut Bread – A Waste Not Want Not Creation

Meemaw’s HEALTHY “Kitchen Sink” Muffins
The word HEALTHY sometimes gets a bad rap…especially when it comes to food. Most people think of things like alfalfa sprouts or slimey green mystery drinks…but that’s not my version. I set out to create a healthy muffin using ingredients I already had in my pantry and in my refrigerator. Check out my healthy NO-FAT […]

Gluten Free Recipes – Ask And You Shall Receive – Coming Soon!
Many people have asked me to share some gluten free recipes here on Meemaw Eats. But since I have no experience with that type of cooking I have been hesitant to pass along recipes that are not “tried and true…and taste tested by me.” A gluten free diet is helpful for anyone who suffers from […]
New Friends, A Kosher Kitchen, And “A Chelluva Challah Bread” Recipe
Good friends can sometimes slip out of our lives, but when they slip back in it’s a wonderful thing. And that’s what happened when I reconnected with my friend Jane.
