Breakfast scrambles are a regular item on our home breakfast menu. Sausage (turkey or pork) is browned and crumbled. Then two beaten eggs are added to the skillet, and the mixture is scrambled together. The scramble is topped with a little grated cheese. Yummy! This is super easy and delicious. But…. This week I made […]
There is more than one version of the origins of the Reuben sandwich. Perhaps it was Reuben Kulakofsky a grocer in Omaha, Nebraska that invented the sandwich for his poker buddies. “The Committee” as they called themselves met weekly at the Blackstone Hotel. The hotel’s owner, Charles Schimmel added the sandwich to his lunch menu, and […]
For the Christmas Open House, Mikel made Russian Tea. Family recipes are the best recipes, and this recipe is from Mikel’s mother Mavene. Russian Tea is delicious, super easy to make, and it is a perfect drink for a cold winter day. This recipe makes about 2 gallons of hot spiced tea. It is perfect if […]
Are any of you like me? Since Christmas has come and gone, I am left thinking about all the things I didn’t do. Do not get me wrong. I did plenty, but I always want to do more. (I realize that this is a fault, but I can’t help myself.) I wanted to see the […]

I remember Mother making these treats during many many Christmas seasons, and I thought they would be something different to share with you.

There is a difference of opinion at our house. I know this might come as a shock to some of you, but others will completely understand. When it comes to cucumbers and onions, Ever-Lovin’ likes the combination to be sweet. I, on the other hand, like a more vinegary taste. Sweet Mother of Pearl. I […]
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 […]
