You might need this for your Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, so I had better post it now – ASAP. Recently I came across the term “vintage recipe”. Love that term – “vintage recipe”. I think most of my recipes are “vintage”, and worthy of being collected – maybe that is stretching it a bit, but […]
Fall is here, and apples are abundant. Why not make a Fresh Apple Cake? This Fresh Apple Cake recipe came from my friend Mrs. Ralph- as in Ralph Lauren (She has his style and flair! – And she is also an excellent cook.). The cake is easy breezy and so delicious. When Mrs. Ralph […]
Disclaimer: I have given you this recipe once before. (Plum Tart). But today I took pictures while making a Plum Kuchen (original name for this recipe), and I thought I would share it again. It is so good. Also today, I used nectarines instead of plums (They were about $2.00 a pound cheaper than the […]
A bazillion years ago at the State Fair of Texas in Big D there was a local chef demonstrating how to make Stir Fried Rice. At that point of my life, I do not believe I had ever heard of Stir Fried Rice. (This was long before Panda Express.) I sat through the demonstration, and […]
An idea has been mulling in my brain for some time. Buttered Rum Banana Bread (click to see the original post) is a favorite at our house. I wrote about this recipe, and how easy breezy it is to make, (You mix it by hand.) and it is utterly delicious. But I got to thinking, and […]
The Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake recipe is a staple in many kitchens in Texas and probably beyond. In my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking no fewer than 17 people submitted the recipe for the Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake. Talk about a favorite. A couple of years ago, good friend Nancy – who is an excellent […]
Don’t you love it when you make a friend’s recipe and it works? That is what happened to me this morning. I told you I was going to make The Mrs. breakfast quiche, and I did. Oh, Sweet Mother of Pearl, it is so easy to prepare, comes out of the pan in one piece, […]
The Mrs. fixed a breakfast casserole I had never – had – seen – or tasted before. Oh, Sweet Mother of Pearl, this is wonderful! I like it, I love it, I want more of it! And you will too once you’ve tasted it. Layered in this pan are cooked apples, French bread, and a […]
While preparing to come to the Big Jubilee Supper in honor of The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, Jenny – Nathan’s new bride – searched the internet for a Texas recipe. She got the point! This was to be a Texas celebration for the Queen. I love it that she went to so much trouble […]
One of the best cooks I know is my dear friend Sheila. We have been cooking together for a bazillion years. Back when, we prepared many a luncheon for the church ladies (WMU – Women’s Missionary Union as it was called). Sheila is from Virginia, and she does everything properly. Her attention to detail is […]
