The picture in the Dallas Morning News caught my attention. In the Wednesday food section, Alicia Ross shares recipes. Her column is called Kitchen Scoop – what a cute name. The pictured muffins were filled with summer fruits – strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. As I read the recipe, my mouth was watering, and I knew […]
Do you ever have a hankerin’ to make a certain something? How do I describe this? It is not that I am hungry for this certain thing. (Ever-Lovin’ and I can not and should not eat an entire pan of lemon bars.) I want to make it or bake it, and share it with somebody. […]
Million Dollar Pound Cake is another vintage recipe from the 1970’s. It is still a favorite. The name – Million Dollar Pound Cake – pretty well sums it up. It is yummy and delicious. Of course, now days I guess the name should be Billion Dollar Pound Cake. Hot Rod’s assessment, “Soft , moist, dense, […]
First order of business. Augh-h-h-h! The computer gremlins are here again. My post from yesterday, did not go to the email subscribers. In that post, The Mrs. (my dear friend) shared her North Dallas home with us. It is beautiful, and if you want to see this home tour, click on this link. The Mrs. […]
Ever-Lovin’ loves mincemeat. One year friend BB gave Ever-Lovin’ some Walker’s Mincemeat Tarts that she had gotten at World Market. Now, every year Ever-Lovin’ makes sure he goes to World Market for his Mincemeat Tarts. He likes them. He loves them. We have a friend who does not want to be named, that makes mincemeat […]
These are so good, and yes, you can make them. They are easy and almost impossible to mess up. I like them. I love them. True story – Mrs. Ralph’s husband likes the original version of these cinnamon rolls so much that if anything happens to Mrs. Ralph and Ever-Lovin’ he is proposing marriage to […]
Fall is here, and apples are abundant. Why not make a Fresh Apple Cake? This Fresh Apple Cake recipe came from my friend Mrs. Ralph- as in Ralph Lauren (She has his style and flair! – And she is also an excellent cook.). The cake is easy breezy and so delicious. When Mrs. Ralph […]
Here is another recipe from the Le Cordon Bleu MasterChef cooking class. To us it is known as a Rhubarb Crumble, but in Ireland they call it Grabhar Biabhog. I remember having rhubarb pies when I worked in Illinois, and they were always made with syrupy strawberries and rhubarb. I assumed that the pies would […]
Excellent Cook Nancy and I have been to the Le Cordon Bleu MasterChef Cooking School, and we have certificates to prove it. Many moons ago, Excellent Cook Nancy and I brought a TravelZoo (I think) discount voucher for a cooking class at Le Cardon Bleu. They teach MasterChef Cooking Classes each Saturday. Finally we were […]
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 […]
