The year was 1981. Mary Beth (Babe) and Paul (Bubba) Vineyard brought traditional southern comfort food to the Park Cities area of Dallas, Texas. Bubba bought an old 1929 Texaco service station across from SMU on Hillcrest Avenue and converted it into an Art Deco-style diner. Babe perfected the recipes, and the customers came – AND they are […]
The Mrs. makes the best waffles. It is true. Being invited to her house for waffles is a real treat, and that is what she did recently. The breakfast table was lovely with the plaid placemats, polished silverware, and pretty crystal serving pieces. Fresh flowers on the table added a touch of class. I loved that […]
Number Three Son was the first to ask. “Have you heard of everything they are cooking in waffle irons?” “No,” says I. He proceded to tell me that muffin or cake batter, cinnamon rolls, brownies, hash browns, and all sorts of various treats could be baked in a waffle iron. Doesn’t that beat all? Thus – […]
Breakfast scrambles are a regular item on our home breakfast menu. Sausage (turkey or pork) is browned and crumbled. Then two beaten eggs are added to the skillet, and the mixture is scrambled together. The scramble is topped with a little grated cheese. Yummy! This is super easy and delicious. But…. This week I made […]
Two recommendations gets our attention – even if the two recommendations are basically from the same source. Several moons ago Gary K. told us about a very inexpensive breakfast diner, BUT he couldn’t remember the name. We drove to the area, but there were two restaurants. We didn’t know which restaurant he was recommending, so […]
Friend Betty had an appointment in Denton, and she invited me to ride along. I so appreciate when friends consider Lanabird, and suggest, “Maybe we can eat somewhere special, and you can blog about it.” Thank you, Betty! While looking online, Oldwest Cafe was on several recommended lists. Then the receptionist added her stamp of […]
Baked Pancake was a recipe I recently saw on the Mennonite Girls Can Cook blog. I could not wait to try it. Today was the day, and I am here to tell you that the baked pancake was so delicious that I can not wait to share the recipe with you. The Mennonite Girls Can Cook recipe was for an […]
Sometimes we neglect the ones we love. – That applies to restaurants that we have frequented for ever and a day. Cindi’s is on our frequent flier list. It is a comfortable place that serves good food – especially breakfast. Cindi’s is a mini-chain restaurant. They now have five locations. It is impressive that Anh […]
Somebody told me about Angela’s at the Crosswalk. They couldn’t even remember the name, but they remembered that the pies at a restaurant in downtown Plano were delicious. Since we have been on a pie circuit, we hunted out this fine establishment. Downtown Plano is happening, and we sometimes find ourselves headed north on Central Expressway […]
Situated at the far end of Snyder Plaza near Southern Methodist University is a Dallas institution – Kuby’s Sausage House. Ever-Lovin’ and I have been coming to Kuby’s for over 40 years. To be honest, neither one of us could believe that I had not blogged about this authentic German market, deli and restaurant […]
