Molasses Cookies – A+ in Cooking Project

Posted on: Nov 20, 2014        In: Gatherings, In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
It happens to the best of us.  A recipe does not compute.  As it is written, there are gaps in the description.  That is the case with this recipe for Molasses Cookies from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking.  The directions are not complete.  Any experienced cook can figure out the recipe, but for someone […]

Applesauce-Oatmeal Drop Cookies – A+ in Cooking Project

Posted on: Nov 14, 2014        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
The other day I tasted one of Ever-Lovin’s store bought cookies, and I could not believe how horrible it was.  I asked him why he would eat such a thing.  He said he had to have something to snack on.  I felt about two inches tall.  I had neglected my man.  I promised I would […]

Mrs. Ralph recently reminded me about the pumpkin bread recipe from my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking.  She had made it, and was pleased how well it turned out.  Well, just the mention of this recipe spurred me into action.  Since I enjoy sharing recipes from Mother’s cookbook, and pumpkin bread is a perfect fall treat, I […]

As a rookie hostess for the ladies monthly Round Table luncheon, it was a little intimidating to think that our committee was responsible not only for the decorations but also the food.  When I saw that Evelyn was on the hostess list, I breathed a sigh of relief.  Everyone knows that Evelyn is a fantastic […]

Cucumbers and Onions

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 […]

Compound Butter

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 […]

Posted on: Jul 26, 2014        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
The official name for this casserole is Jessica’s Favorite Green Chili Hominy, but since I remember it as the hominy casserole from Perini Ranch in Buffalo Gap, Texas, I call it Perini Ranch Green Chili Hominy.  This hominy casserole is seriously good and so easy to make.  It can be made in advance or even […]
