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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
While at Buckner last week friend Robert mentioned he had some okra to share. (This is the Robert that is married to sweet, petite, always put together Janet) “Would I like some?” Faster than a speeding bullet, my answer was – “YES!” Ever-Lovin and I love, love, love okra and tomatoes. Robert is a gardner […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Talk about a vintage cookbook. First Edition – 1954 – Better Homes and Gardens Junior Cookbook. Yes, I have saved and cherished it low these many years. If I told you how old I was when I got it, then you could figure out how old I am – not that most of you don’t […]
