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 […]
I started to title this post – The Best Bread Pudding – but that seemed a little presumptuous. But I am here to tell you, – This is the best bread pudding I have ever made, and Lord knows I have tried to make a bread pudding to our liking. Ever-Lovin’ loves bread pudding and […]
I was reminded again a few days ago that the Crock Pot Hot Chocolate recipe wasn’t on Lanabird. Friends from ADK swore I had not posted it, and they wanted it. Well, really I did post it, but it is hidden in the English Christmas Tea post. I thought I would do it justice, and […]
A highlight of the Christmas season is when the Grands (grandson, grand nieces and nephew) come for a Christmas Tea. Their parents come too – but at this tea the children sit at the table, and the adults stand around and graze. Since Ever-Lovin’ and I had visited England this year, we thought an English […]
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 […]
I thought I had lost it. It being – Uncle Raymon’s Coconut Pie recipe. Uncle Raymon was an interesting individual. He was married to my mother’s sister, Aunt Lois. (Yes, the Aunt Lois that is 101 years young.) He was a Junior High School principal, a shoe salesman, and an usher at the […]
The recipe was on the top of page 105 in Mother’s cookbook – A+ in Cooking. I do not understand why, but for sometime I have been intrigued by this recipe for Chicken Crescent Rolls submitted by David and Sharon Walker. I decided to give it a try. Since I am regularly sharing recipes from […]
Million Dollar Pound Cake is another vintage recipe from the 1970’s. It is still a favorite. The name – Million Dollar Pound Cake – pretty well sums it up. It is yummy and delicious. Of course, now days I guess the name should be Billion Dollar Pound Cake. Hot Rod’s assessment, “Soft , moist, dense, […]
My love affair with potato soup began many, many, many years ago. Although many, many, many years ago I did not know it was potato soup. Back story: Aunt Nela was my mother’s sister. To say that she was a fantastic cook would be an understatement. Sweet Mother of Pearl! Could she ever cook, bake, […]
Ever-Lovin’ loves almost anything pumpkin- pies, cakes, muffins, bread. You name it pumpkin ______ (whatever), and he gravitates toward it. It is not a seasonal thing for him. Any month of the year (even in the dog days of summer), he will choose the pumpkin pie at the cafeteria. (He thinks pumpkin pie is a […]
