I love this cheese ball. I adore this cheese ball. It might be my most favoritest cheese ball I make. I really really wanted to make this cheese ball before Christmas, but…. It is easy breezy, but somehow it did not get made. So today I made it anyway. Maybe we can have it […]
We were asked to make and serve hot cider for Hark Sunday. Sometimes hot cider can taste watered down, and weak. I wanted a hearty drink. Backstory: A year or more ago, Kyle’s (my nephew) beautiful wife Ashley served us apple cider laced with caramel syrup. It was good. She said it was similar to […]
Tuesday morning I was with some friends, and of course, the topic of what we were going to have for our Thanksgiving meal was discussed.

The kids came over today for Memorial Day. Ever-Lovin’ grilled hamburgers (Yum!), and I made my mother’s potato salad. It is still my favorite. The addition of mustard and celery seeds is the secret for this very tasty salad, and trust me – it is oh, so good! Boil your potatoes. I like using the […]
While out and about today, two of our friends ordered Arnold Palmer’s as drinks with lunch. As you know, this is the half tea and half lemonade drink that is sometimes called a half and half. This drink got me to thinking about a tea punch recipe I have. For years I have made a […]
Maids of Honor Tarts My friend the Queen of Teas, mentioned that one of her favorite sweets in London was Maid of Honor Tarts. I had never heard of these, but for the Royal Tea, I wanted to find out. I was so fascinated by the name – Maids of Honor Tarts. It is so […]
Many years ago, I saw a recipe for Cream Puff Swans, and I thought they were beautiful. So I decided to make them for a church luncheon for about 100 ladies. Oh, my! What was I thinking? I had good help, and it really wasn’t that hard And I’m here to tell you – we […]
