The menu for our Father’s Day Lunch centered around the foods Ever-Lovin’ loves. We had been to the Saturday’s farmers market and had plenty of veggies to cook. Basically it was a Southern comfort food type of meal. For those who are interested, here was our menu: Meatloaf Carrot Salad (recipe to follow) Cucumber Salsa […]
On our day trip to Waxahachie, Super Sister and I ate at The Dove’s Nest – an excellent restaurant located downtown Waxahachie on the square. We succumbed and ordered the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for dessert. Sweet Mother of Pearl. It was full of chocolate, pecans and had a subtle hint of bourbon. Yummy! Marsha […]
This is the recipe that I have used forever – even before my mother’s cookbook – A+ in Cooking. First, my sweet cousin LaNell gave me a version of this recipe while I was dating Ever-Lovin’. Then I have at the same version of the recipe from Mother via Ann Sears via Mrs. Joe Morgan. (Do you […]
Number One Son has a couple of peach trees. I guess it is safe to say that they are not in love with their peach trees. We love peaches. So… they brought us some peaches. Thank you! (For the record – I will happily take more peaches.) These are the first peaches of the […]
Excellent Cook Nancy brought Friend BB some cookies – Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies to be exact. Mrs. Ralph ate one of said cookies, and declared it the best cookie she had ever eaten. Mrs. Ralph did not mention said cookie just one time, I bet she mentioned it a bazillion times (Okay, I exaggerate.) but…. I […]
I was reminded again a few days ago that the Crock Pot Hot Chocolate recipe wasn’t on Lanabird. Friends from ADK swore I had not posted it, and they wanted it. Well, really I did post it, but it is hidden in the English Christmas Tea post. I thought I would do it justice, and […]
Thought it was time I shared the Orange Muffin recipe that I made for the ADK meeting. (I promised I would.) This recipe is a recipe from Helen Corbitt. It is easy to make and delicious. I like these muffins because they keep well, and you can even freeze them. I was reminded of this […]
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 […]
While the chocolate croissants from Trader Joe’s were in the oven, I began thinking, “These puffs of decadent goodness are worthy of a Valentine’s breakfast – Or maybe it would be – A Valentine’s breakfast would be worthy of these croissants.” Either way – I hope you understand what I mean. A piece of lace […]
