I started to title this post – The Best Bread Pudding – but that seemed a little presumptuous.  But I am here to tell you, – This is the best bread pudding I have ever made, and Lord knows I have tried to make a bread pudding to our liking.  Ever-Lovin’ loves bread pudding and […]

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 […]

Crock Pot Hot Chocolate

I was reminded again a few days ago that the Crock Pot Hot Chocolate recipe wasn’t on Lanabird.  Friends from ADK swore I had not posted it, and they wanted it.  Well, really I did post it, but it is hidden in the English Christmas Tea post.  I thought I would do it justice, and […]

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 […]

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 […]

An English Christmas Tea

A highlight of the Christmas season is when the Grands (grandson, grand nieces and nephew) come for a Christmas Tea.  Their parents come too – but at this tea the children sit at the table, and the adults stand around and graze. Since Ever-Lovin’ and I had visited England this year, we thought an English […]

Sweet petite Katie from Bonham made these delicious melt-in-your-mouth cookies for Jessica’s baby shower.  Miss Charlotte asked for the recipe, and Katie was happy to share. You might have seen this recipe called Forgotten Cookies.  That is because you put them in a hot oven, turn off the oven, and leave them.  – That is […]
