  • Laura’s Pecan Puffs

               These are one of the most delicious cookies in the world!  Oh, my, my, my, my, they are so good!  If it weren’t for the pecans, they’d melt in your mouth!  The recipe was graciously given to me by a young girl, who is now a young woman.  She brought them to […]

  • For Today’s Tea – Lemon Poppy Seed Scones

        Just before lunch Monday, I mixed up a batch of Lemon Poppy Seed Scones.  They mix up and bake quickly.  I left these to cool on the stove top until after lunch, and then placed them on a pretty tray, ready for our mid-afternoon tea and read aloud time.  Made from whole wheat flour […]

  • Thelma’s Egg Noodles Recipe

         Homemade egg noodles are quick and easy to make.  They have a different texture than store bought noodles, but they are so good.  No preservatives or additives, just good, wholesome ingredients from your kitchen.  These are great in soups and stews, or boil them in water with some butter and use/serve as you would […]

  • My Even Better Everyday Whole Wheat Bread For The Bread Machine Recipe

    The bread machine is one of my most faithful servants.  Next to my washing machine, I think my bread machine is my favorite appliance.  Oh, don’t get me wrong, I certainly do enjoy the dishwasher, but I don’t mind hand washing dishes either.  The clothes dryer gets a lot of use in these damp, foggy […]

  • Thelma’s Berry (Or Any Fruit) Cobbler Recipe

    I have a small cookbook.  There are only a couple of dozen recipes in it, but they were all written out by my mom.  I’m sure her intention was to fill this little recipe book with all of her wonderful recipes, some of which she was famous for; but she never finished the task.  I […]

  • Fancy Almonds For Your Salads – Two Recipes!

    I’ve been eyeing those fancy flavored salad almonds at the store.  They look wonderful, but they are quite pricey and they are loaded with corn syrup and preservatives.  I knew I could do better.  Yesterday I picked up some raw sliced almonds and some raw slivered almonds from the bulk foods section of my market.  […]

  • Fred’s Fried Puhtaytuz – My Dad’s Recipe for Fried Potatoes

    Not potatoes.  Not pertaters.  Not even ‘taters.  To my dad, they were puhtaytuz (puh TAY tuz).  He hailed from Hidalgo, Illinois.  Perhaps that pronunciation came from there.  Perhaps it came from the fact that, born in 1907, he attended school only through the 6th grade and then began working to help support the family.  The eldest […]

  • Recipe – MooBockOink – or – Rolled Chicken Breast

    And it’s not really “MooBockOink”.  In reality, you must make the noise of a cow, a chicken and a pig, in that order, and in rapid succession.  Got it?  Corin’s kids got it.  We had tons of totally allowable snorting at last night’s dinner table because, you know, they all had to say “MooBockOink” a […]

  • Orange Glazed Meatballs Recipe

    I like trying new recipes when I find them, but I love creating new recipes of my own.  Past inspriration for creating new recipes has been found in the frozen foods or specialty foods areas of the grocery store, from vintage recipes and even from restaurant menus.  After almost 30 years of marriage, and almost 28 years of […]

  • Quick Chicken & Noodle Stew Recipe

    I meant to take pictures and have all sorts of fun extras with this recipe.  Truth be told, I forgot (yes, yes I did) that I’d promised this recipe to you, so it was prepared last night without any sort of thought to posting.  You know what?  This recipe is, just as the title says, […]
