Do you ever have a hankerin’ to make a certain something? How do I describe this? It is not that I am hungry for this certain thing. (Ever-Lovin’ and I can not and should not eat an entire pan of lemon bars.) I want to make it or bake it, and share it with somebody. […]
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, […]
This is so much fun. Friends give me suggestions of good places to eat. Then Ever-Lovin’ and I “have to” go out to eat so I will have something to blog about. Do I have a good life or what? While at the First Monday Trades Days in Canton, sweet friend Nancy from Brentfield ask […]

Here is another recipe from the Le Cordon Bleu MasterChef cooking class. To us it is known as a Rhubarb Crumble, but in Ireland they call it Grabhar Biabhog. I remember having rhubarb pies when I worked in Illinois, and they were always made with syrupy strawberries and rhubarb. I assumed that the pies would […]
Long, long ago on a street not too far away, a dear friend made Good Banana Pudding (That is the official name of this recipe in her family cookbook). She served said Good Banana Pudding to Ever-Lovin’, and the rest is history. Ever-Lovin’ loves, loves, loves banana pudding, and this recipe sat a new standard. […]
For the WOW (Women of Wallace) + Gene gathering, the food preparation was easy breezy. The guest brought salads, and were they ever good! (I will be sharing recipes soon.) The plan was to have a mini-dessert bar like I had seen on other blogs. It was so much fun to think about all the […]
