Ever-Lovin’ loves mincemeat. One year friend BB gave Ever-Lovin’ some Walker’s Mincemeat Tarts that she had gotten at World Market. Now, every year Ever-Lovin’ makes sure he goes to World Market for his Mincemeat Tarts. He likes them. He loves them. We have a friend who does not want to be named, that makes mincemeat […]
We were asked to make and serve hot cider for Hark Sunday. Sometimes hot cider can taste watered down, and weak. I wanted a hearty drink. Backstory: A year or more ago, Kyle’s (my nephew) beautiful wife Ashley served us apple cider laced with caramel syrup. It was good. She said it was similar to […]
Tuesday morning I was with some friends, and of course, the topic of what we were going to have for our Thanksgiving meal was discussed. Shelly mentioned that she was looking forward to a fruit salad her relative always brought to their family gathering. She related that the salad had pineapple, little oranges, coconut, […]
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 […]
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 […]
