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 […]
Mrs. Ralph recently reminded me about the pumpkin bread recipe from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking. She had made it, and was pleased how well it turned out. Well, just the mention of this recipe spurred me into action. Since I enjoy sharing recipes from Mother’s cookbook, and pumpkin bread is a perfect fall treat, I […]
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 […]
A big shout-out to Marshachristmas for this recipe – Apple Bread Pudding. She had this delicious dessert at a gathering, and thought I needed the recipe. (How sweet is that!) Thank you so very much for thinking of me. The original recipe was from Bill Scepansky in Southern Living – October 2013. I have adapted it slightly. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Excellent Cook Nancy and I have been to the Le Cordon Bleu MasterChef Cooking School, and we have certificates to prove it. Many moons ago, Excellent Cook Nancy and I brought a TravelZoo (I think) discount voucher for a cooking class at Le Cardon Bleu. They teach MasterChef Cooking Classes each Saturday. Finally we were […]
