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 […]
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 […]

Sheila and I have been cooking together for as long as we have known each other. Back in the day, we were part of a group of “church ladies” that cooked lunch for about 125 women once a month for Baptist Women. We had so much fun together – and still do! Sheila has always […]
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 […]

These little tarts are beyond delicious. The jalapeño pimento cheese has a little […]
