It has been a while since I have shared a recipe from my mother’s cookbook, A+ in Cooking. The idea was to find a muffin or breakfast bread recipe to share with you. I for one was somewhat tired of having wheat toast every morning, and I wanted something different. I also wanted to share […]
For the Christmas Open House, Mikel made Russian Tea. Family recipes are the best recipes, and this recipe is from Mikel’s mother Mavene.

I remember Mother making these treats during many many Christmas seasons, and I thought they would be something different to share with you.

Sweet Mother of Pearl! For a summertime treat you cannot beat gazpacho. The tomato based cold soup is filled with raw vegetables, and it is flavorful and so refreshing.
