I enjoy reading the blog Mennonite Girls Can Cook. The Canadian ladies that write this blog are excellent cooks who use fresh basic ingredients in their recipes. This morning there was a recipe for Lemon Coconut Bars, and I knew I wanted to try them. I love coconut, and to think about it paired with lemon […]
It has been a while since I have shared a recipe from my mother’s cookbook, A+ in Cooking. The idea was to find a muffin or breakfast bread recipe to share with you. I for one was somewhat tired of having wheat toast every morning, and I wanted something different. I also wanted to share […]
It happens to the best of us. A recipe does not compute. As it is written, there are gaps in the description. That is the case with this recipe for Molasses Cookies from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking. The directions are not complete. Any experienced cook can figure out the recipe, but for someone […]
The other day I tasted one of Ever-Lovin’s store bought cookies, and I could not believe how horrible it was. I asked him why he would eat such a thing. He said he had to have something to snack on. I felt about two inches tall. I had neglected my man. I promised I would […]
Excellent Cook Nancy brought Friend BB some cookies – Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies to be exact. Mrs. Ralph ate one of said cookies, and declared it the best cookie she had ever eaten. Mrs. Ralph did not mention said cookie just one time, I bet she mentioned it a bazillion times (Okay, I exaggerate.) but…. I […]
StoneGable is a blog I enjoy. Yvonne is one talented person – she cooks, she creates, she decorates, and she and her husband even do most of their home projects themselves. On top of all of that, her photographs are fantastic. A couple of times she mentioned Baked Oatmeal on her blog. She even planned […]
It is zucchini season, and what to do with all the zucchini is a never-ending question. Now mind you. – I did not grow zucchini, but the zucchini at the Farmers Market was plentiful and begging to be bought. I bought it and brought it home with the intention of making zucchini bread. Because… When […]
The picture in the Dallas Morning News caught my attention. In the Wednesday food section, Alicia Ross shares recipes. Her column is called Kitchen Scoop – what a cute name. The pictured muffins were filled with summer fruits – strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. As I read the recipe, my mouth was watering, and I knew […]
These are so good, and yes, you can make them. They are easy and almost impossible to mess up. I like them. I love them. True story – Mrs. Ralph’s husband likes the original version of these cinnamon rolls so much that if anything happens to Mrs. Ralph and Ever-Lovin’ he is proposing marriage to […]
Recently I saw the recipe for Cranberry-Hazelnut Coffeecake on Pinterest. The original recipe is from MyRecipes.com. The coffeecake looked so pretty, and I do love cranberries, so I pinned it to my board “Want to Try”. The fact that the recipe called for fresh cranberries, and they were not sweetened was appealing. I love a […]
