Food memories can just make my day. I remember the first time I tasted Mini Pecan Pies. To say that they made a lasting impression is an understatement. It was a gathering at Marie Stobaugh’s home. I thought the little tarts she made that were filled with pecan pie filling were about the best thing […]
Many moons ago when there was a Main Street Antique Mall in downtown (if there is such a thing) Richardson, Nedra ran the tearoom. With every meal she served Crescent Tidbits. Tiny delicious puffs of bread. Often I would wonder what happened to that recipe. I asked friends that had also been in that mall […]
It was weird. For our Super Bowl gathering, we had bruschetta. Now, that is not weird in itself, but what was weird was – This Italian appetizer is not usually served with Frito Pie. Our menu was rather typical for a Super Bowl gathering – Pigs in the blanket, Frito pie, and all the trimmings […]
On the cover of the February 2014 Southern Living Magazine, is the picture of a Lemon-Lime Pound Cake. For Carmen’s birthday party, Carmen’s niece’s husband (or would that be Carmen’s nephew-in-law, or Carmen’s sister’s son-in-law or…I am sure there are other possibilities) made this Lemon-Lime Pound Cake. It was just as pretty as the cake […]

I have so been wanting to eat Chinese Cole Slaw. It is one of my all time favorite salads, but… It makes a big salad, so I have to wait for a time when I will be feeding a crowd. Our lunch at Sarah’s filled the bill. Yea! This is another recipe from my mother’s […]
StoneGable is a blog I enjoy. Yvonne is one talented person – she cooks, she creates, she decorates, and she and her husband even do most of their home projects themselves. On top of all of that, her photographs are fantastic. A couple of times she mentioned Baked Oatmeal on her blog. She even planned […]
Sesame Asparagus Roll-ups are so good. I like them. I love them. They are so good that I was determined to make them for Stephanie’s shower. It took three trips to as many grocery stores to be able to find asparagus to my liking. At one store, the asparagus was too large (I almost wrote […]
