Broccoli Cheese and Rice Casserole

Posted on: Apr 6, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
Here is another delicious dish that would be good to serve on Easter.   In the picture it is the dish in the middle at the top.  It is the only picture I have at this time.  Sorry!  I know you could do better. Around here, we eat this often.  When the boys were young, […]

Ham with Spicy Cherry Sauce

Posted on: Apr 5, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
Panic!  Easter will be here and I have not shared any of my favorite recipes.  Let’s begin with the entrée. Many times ham is the protein of choice around here for Easter.  I buy one of the spiral cut hams.  You can either heat it in the oven (300 degrees for 1 ½ hours), or […]

Filling for Cream Puffs (Swans)

Posted on: Mar 27, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
This recipe is adapted from an easy filling we used 30 something years ago at a Baptist Women’s luncheon.  I added the cream cheese because: 1. I love cream cheese. 2. I thought the addition of cream cheese to the filling would make it more stable. The addition of the cream cheese worked.  Not only […]

Cucumber Sandwiches

Posted on: Mar 25, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
It seems impossible to have an English tea party or any tea party for that matter without having cucumber sandwiches.  I have had cucumber sandwiches so many different ways, and have loved most of them. This is a no frills recipe, and I love it. It is the recipe for the Basic Butter Spread (from […]

Granny’s Sugar Cookies

I do not know who Granny is or was, but I do know she made a delicious cutout sugar cookie.  I got the recipe a LONG time ago at a Tupperware party when I bought their cookie cutters.  I made them all the time for school events and parties when the children were growing up.  […]

Salted Caramel Scones

Posted on: Mar 20, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
I know I’m usually a day late and a dollar short, and this is a good example of how clueless I can be.  Over a year ago, I made Salted Caramel Scones from a recipe I saw in Tea Time magazine.  They looked good to me, and I happened to have the ingredients on hand.  […]

Blueberry Oat Scones

Recently I have reconnected with my Tech roommates, Melanie Ann and Olive (who is now called Sunny, but I forget Sunny because I know her as Olive- you understand, don’t you?)  Olive was gracious to invite us to her ranch. Fresh air, million dollar views, and newborn kids (baby goats–Ever-Lovin’ said I needed to make […]

Cream Cheese Icing

Posted on: Mar 12, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
Here is the icing I use for Granny’s Sugar Cookies.  It is easy, and do I love cream cheese.  It is so easy to make in the food processor, but not much trouble to mix by hand.  Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until you get the right spreading consistancy.  You do not […]
