For Mother’s Day, Ever-Lovin’ smoked ribs in my honor. They were fantastic. I was happy, appreciative, and full. Ever-Lovin’s recipe is based on a recipe from John McLemore’s “Dadgum That’s Good!” cookbook. The store did not have “baby-back ribs” which is what he usually uses. These ribs were a little meatier. Ever-Lovin’ cooked three slabs […]
Do you ever have a hankerin’ to make a certain something? How do I describe this? It is not that I am hungry for this certain thing. (Ever-Lovin’ and I can not and should not eat an entire pan of lemon bars.) I want to make it or bake it, and share it with somebody. […]
Million Dollar Pound Cake is another vintage recipe from the 1970’s. It is still a favorite. The name – Million Dollar Pound Cake – pretty well sums it up. It is yummy and delicious. Of course, now days I guess the name should be Billion Dollar Pound Cake. Hot Rod’s assessment, “Soft , moist, dense, […]
Stew is one of our go to dishes Everything you need for a complete meal is in the pot – meat and vegetables. Plus you can easily make it with ingredients you have on hand. This week I made stew, and it turned out well. In fact, it turned out so well Ever-Lovin’ suggested I […]
Love to watch the TV series Downton Abbey. The Buds (friends) gather to watch the show each Sunday night. Before this season of Downton Abbey began, excellent cook Nancy (also a Downton Abbey fan) sent me an email that had a menu and recipes for a Downton Abbey Premier Party from Food 52. Several […]
My love affair with potato soup began many, many, many years ago. Although many, many, many years ago I did not know it was potato soup. Back story: Aunt Nela was my mother’s sister. To say that she was a fantastic cook would be an understatement. Sweet Mother of Pearl! Could she ever cook, bake, […]
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 […]
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 […]
While at Buckner last week friend Robert mentioned he had some okra to share. (This is the Robert that is married to sweet, petite, always put together Janet) “Would I like some?” Faster than a speeding bullet, my answer was – “YES!” Ever-Lovin and I love, love, love okra and tomatoes. Robert is a gardner […]
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 […]
