Let’s get started cooking for Christmas. Date Skillet Cookies is a recipe from my childhood. I remember Mother making these treats during many many Christmas seasons, and I thought they would be something different to share with you.

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
