Food memories can just make my day. I remember the first time I tasted Mini Pecan Pies. To say that they made a lasting impression is an understatement. It was a gathering at Marie Stobaugh’s home. I thought the little tarts she made that were filled with pecan pie filling were about the best thing […]
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 […]
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 […]
StoneGable is a blog I enjoy. Yvonne is one talented person – she cooks, she creates, she decorates, and she and her husband even do most of their home projects themselves. On top of all of that, her photographs are fantastic. A couple of times she mentioned Baked Oatmeal on her blog. She even planned […]
Hey gang. This is an ORIGINAL. Sheila – AKA Sheshe – created this recipe for Potato Salad Bites, and it is a winner. Sheshe made these little stuffed red potatoes for Stephanie’s wedding shower, and they were a hit. Yes, I had seen Baked Potato Bites recipes, but these little potatoes are stuffed with potato […]

The recipe for Apricot Cheese Pastry is another recipe from A+ in Cooking – Mother’s collection of recipes from the families of former students. Let […]
Marsha Christmas my number one cheerleader sent me this recipe, and I could not wait to try it. Red Beans and Rice are at the top of my comfort food list. Maybe some of you remember Andrew’s restaurant. Here is what Marsha wrote: Andrew’s was owned by 2 brothers (twins?) in the 70’s, I think, […]

Chocolate Sheet Cake — applause, applause, applause, whoop and more applause. No fewer than seventeen families submitted this recipe as their family favorite. When planning […]
We got a call from Number One Son. “Would you like to come for dinner?” Sure. What a treat. Sweet precious Mikel (Number One Son’s wife) had prepared Slow-Cooker Barbecue Beef. (Or you could call it Crock-Pot Barbecue Beef – Whatever floats your boat.) The minute we walked in the door, we were greeted with […]
