It happens to the best of us. A recipe does not compute. As it is written, there are gaps in the description. That is the case with this recipe for Molasses Cookies from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking. The directions are not complete. Any experienced cook can figure out the recipe, but for someone […]
The other day I tasted one of Ever-Lovin’s store bought cookies, and I could not believe how horrible it was. I asked him why he would eat such a thing. He said he had to have something to snack on. I felt about two inches tall. I had neglected my man. I promised I would […]

For our Labor Day get together, we thought we would have steak. At out house, this is beyond unusual. Seldom do we buy steak for the whole gang. Oh, we buy chuck roast and ground meat, but not steak. On special occasions, Ever-Lovin’ and I enjoy a good steak at a steak house. This got me […]
Friend Kim is hosting an 80th birthday party for her mother. Kim’s mother is amazing. She still plays tennis each week – in two tennis leagues no less. (And she looks good in the cute tennis outfits also.) Kim called, and we discussed her party. I had a couple of trays to loan her, and she […]
Baked Pancake was a recipe I recently saw on the Mennonite Girls Can Cook blog. I could not wait to try it. Today was the day, and I am here to tell you that the baked pancake was so delicious that I can not wait to share the recipe with you. The Mennonite Girls Can Cook recipe was for an […]
The official name for this casserole is Jessica’s Favorite Green Chili Hominy, but since I remember it as the hominy casserole from Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap, Texas, I call it Perini Ranch Green Chili Hominy.
