Anna sent me an email with the recipe for Sweet Potatoes Au Gratin: I can tell you it’s very good! I like it because I’m so tired of the same old recipe that involves marshmallows and brown sugar, or sometimes I just bake them with butter. This is very popular with several of my friends […]
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 […]
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 […]
There have been several recipes on other blogs detailing what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers. Most have to do with turkey. This is different, but worthy of sharing. Number Three Son wanted plain baked potatoes (“Not those twice baked ones you did before.” Got it!) I made plenty, and we had potatoes leftover. As a […]
Miss Jane is a good cook who cooks healthy food. For the July 4th celebration, she brought this Summer Squash Couscous with Sultanas, Pistachios, and Mint side dish. It was a hit! People were asking for the recipe, and Miss Jane was more than willing to share. She got the recipe from the Whole Foods […]
Backstory: Excellent Cook Nancy sent me a link to a blog by Bryn Mooth called writes4food.com. Nancy’s cousin had sent the link to this blog to Nancy for us to check out. Understand?? On the day I first looked at Bryn Mooth’s blog, there was a recipe from the Clara Project. As I understand it, […]
You might need this for your Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, so I had better post it now – ASAP. Recently I came across the term “vintage recipe”. Love that term – “vintage recipe”. I think most of my recipes are “vintage”, and worthy of being collected – maybe that is stretching it a bit, but […]
While at Buckner last week friend Robert mentioned he had some okra to share. (This is the Robert that is married to sweet, petite, always put together Janet) “Would I like some?” Faster than a speeding bullet, my answer was – “YES!” Ever-Lovin and I love, love, love okra and tomatoes. Robert is a gardner […]
Rumpledethumps – what a name! I love saying it – Rumpledethumps, Rumpledethumps, Rumpledethumps. Isn’t that fun. What you need to know is that this is a British mashed potato, cabbage dish that is topped with cheese. I’m here to tell you it is yummy in the tummy! Becky brought this dish to the Big Jubilee […]
One of the best cooks I know is my dear friend Sheila. We have been cooking together for a bazillion years. Back when, we prepared many a luncheon for the church ladies (WMU – Women’s Missionary Union as it was called). Sheila is from Virginia, and she does everything properly. Her attention to detail is […]
