Corn Dip – I remember it well. It was an holiday open house at an antique mall on Lovers’ Lane. One of the dealers was serving corn dip. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I think we all embarrassed ourselves standing around grazing on the Fritos and Corn Dip. I will never forget it. She told us […]
Many moons ago when there was a Main Street Antique Mall in downtown (if there is such a thing) Richardson, Nedra ran the tearoom. With every meal she served Crescent Tidbits. Tiny delicious puffs of bread. Often I would wonder what happened to that recipe. I asked friends that had also been in that mall […]
It was weird. For our Super Bowl gathering, we had bruschetta. Now, that is not weird in itself, but what was weird was – This Italian appetizer is not usually served with Frito Pie. Our menu was rather typical for a Super Bowl gathering – Pigs in the blanket, Frito pie, and all the trimmings […]
Lemon Chess Pie – Yummy, yummy, yummy in your tummy, tummy, tummy! I am sharing another recipe from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking. During Mother’s 44 years of teaching, she collected recipes from the families of former students. These families submitted their favorite recipes, and the results was an excellent cookbook.

A highlight of the Christmas season is when the Grands (grandson, grand nieces and nephew) come for a Christmas Tea. Their parents come too – but at this tea the children sit at the table, and the adults stand around and graze. Since Ever-Lovin’ and I had visited England this year, we thought an English […]
There were several types of meatballs served at the Living Stones Christmas Party. Excellent Cook Nancy sent me her recipe. It is so simple and delicious – I wanted to share. Trouble is – I do not have a picture. See the blank spaces on the table. That is where the meatballs eventually were. See […]
A big shout-out to Marshachristmas for this recipe – Apple Bread Pudding. She had this delicious dessert at a gathering, and thought I needed the recipe. (How sweet is that!) Thank you so very much for thinking of me. The original recipe was from Bill Scepansky in Southern Living – October 2013. I have adapted it slightly. […]
Mary Pittman had a tea room and gift shop in Richardson, Texas. Be still my heart! It was one of the first tea rooms I ever visited. The fact that there was a tea room in my neighborhood was beyond wonderful. It proved that living in the city was the life for me, and just […]
I have so been wanting to eat Chinese Cole Slaw. It is one of my all time favorite salads, but… It makes a big salad, so I have to wait for a time when I will be feeding a crowd. Our lunch at Sarah’s filled the bill. Yea! This is another recipe from my mother’s […]
