Rumpledethumps – what a name! I love saying it – Rumpledethumps, Rumpledethumps, Rumpledethumps. Isn’t that fun. What you need to know is that this is a British mashed potato, cabbage dish that is topped with cheese. I’m here to tell you it is yummy in the tummy! Becky brought this dish to the Big Jubilee […]
One of the best cooks I know is my dear friend Sheila. We have been cooking together for a bazillion years. Back when, we prepared many a luncheon for the church ladies (WMU – Women’s Missionary Union as it was called). Sheila is from Virginia, and she does everything properly. Her attention to detail is […]
Up front you have to know – this recipe does not contain jalapenos. It is made with green chilies. Why the title? Who knows? I’m here to tell you – Do not worry about the title. The Queen’s Jalapeno Rice was a big hit at the Jubilee Supper, because it was wonderfully delicious! Friend Marsha […]
Sorry I missed visiting with you yesterday, but I had a very good reason. Melanie Ann and Olive my two dear friends from collegiate days at Texas Technological College (as it was known then) came to visit. We always have so much fun together. (Yes, we went to the Arboretum today, but that will be […]
My son Chris and his wife Mikel make the best sausage balls. Honestly, their recipe isn’t that much different than other recipes I have tried, but their sausage balls are goodness gracious – so much better. As a public service to you, I have been trying to analyze what makes the difference. Just for you I have […]
Ben has been lobbying for me to make chocolate pie for our family get-to-gathers. On Memorial Day, his wish was granted. This recipe is adapted from several chocolate pie recipes, and I am amazed how good it is (shocked myself). Do you dream about a dark rich chocolate pie? Well then, this is the pie […]
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 […]
Special Sweet Potatoes I’m not 100% sure where this recipe came from, but I think Julia Harmon gave it to us to use at a Mission’s Banquet back in the 80’s. What I do know is that it quickly became a favorite in our family. Mother wanted to serve it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ever-Lovin’ […]
Pepper Cheese Palmiers Peppery, full of Cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses, crunchy, and delicious just begins to describe these savory palmiers. I love that name – palmiers. Makes me think I am cooking fancy. In reality, these are easy sneezy and so good. Most of the time palmiers are sweet, but this savory version is equally […]
