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. […]

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 […]

Sweet Potato Casserole AKA- “Special Sweet Potatoes”

Posted on: Nov 18, 2012        In: In the Kitchen        With: No comments
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 […]

Cranberry-Hazelnut Muffins (Coffeecake)

Posted on: Oct 22, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
Recently I saw the recipe for Cranberry-Hazelnut Coffeecake on Pinterest.  The original recipe is from MyRecipes.com.  The coffeecake looked so pretty, and I do love cranberries, so I pinned it to my board “Want to Try”.  The fact that the recipe called for fresh cranberries, and they were not sweetened was appealing.  I love a […]

Disclaimer:  I have given you this recipe once before. (Plum Tart).  But today I took pictures while making a Plum Kuchen (original name for this recipe), and I thought I would share it again.  It is so good.  Also today, I used nectarines instead of plums (They were about $2.00 a pound cheaper than the […]

An idea has been mulling in my brain for some time.  Buttered Rum Banana Bread (click to see the original post)  is a favorite at our house.  I wrote about this recipe, and how easy breezy it is to make, (You mix it by hand.) and it is utterly delicious.  But I got to thinking, and […]

Sprite and Sweet Cream Biscuits

The story I am about to tell is true.  It is a little weird, but that’s how life is. Super Sister had pinned or repinned a recipe on Pinterest for 7.Up Biscuits.  About a bazillion people repinned her pin.  This was a hot recipe.  I so wanted to see what all the fuss was about. […]

The Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake recipe is a staple in many kitchens in Texas and probably beyond.  In my mother’s cookbook A+ in Cooking no fewer than 17 people submitted the recipe for the Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake.  Talk about a favorite. A couple of years ago, good friend Nancy – who is an excellent […]

The Mrs. fixed a breakfast casserole I had never – had – seen – or tasted before.  Oh, Sweet Mother of Pearl, this is wonderful!  I like it, I love it, I want more of it!  And you will too once you’ve tasted it.  Layered in this pan are cooked apples, French bread, and a […]

While preparing to come to the Big Jubilee Supper in honor of The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, Jenny – Nathan’s new bride – searched the internet for a Texas recipe. She got the point!  This was to be a Texas celebration for the Queen.  I love it that she went to so much trouble […]
