One last Christmas post.  There was plenty of good food to eat on Christmas Eve during our open house.  Guests usually bring treats to share, and we enjoy everyone’s goodies.  For those of you who like to know, here was the menu. Stephanie (Logan helped) won the prize for the cutest treats.  She saw these […]

What a mouthful for a title – White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cranberry Orange Cookies – Wow!  Many of you already have this EASY recipe that begins with cookie dough that you buy at the grocery store.  But just in case you do not know about this delicious cookie, I thought you should. Dear friend Marge first […]

Laura Bush’s Cowboy Cookies

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 […]

An English Christmas Tea

Posted on: Dec 23, 2013        In: Gatherings, Recipes        With: No comments
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 […]

What a wonderful afternoon we enjoyed at the Storybook Baby Shower given in Jenny’s honor.  The storybook decor was wonderful, the food was delicious, and the company fantastic.  Both old friends and new friends alike joined in the fun, and these ladies are like family.  Words can not express the pleasure of having others share […]

Meringue Cookies (AKA – Forgotten Cookies)

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 […]

Baby Shower Menu

Posted on: Oct 2, 2013        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
Yes, there was food. Probably you would be correct to say, “There was too much food.  You really do NOT need all that much food.”  But….  How do I explain this to you. A skimpy table can not be abided. Running out of food at a party is a not a good thing – Just […]

WOW Dessert Bar

For the WOW (Women of Wallace) + Gene gathering, the food preparation was easy breezy.  The guest brought salads, and were they ever good!  (I will be sharing recipes soon.)  The plan was to have a mini-dessert bar like I had seen on other blogs.  It was so much fun to think about all the […]

Granny’s Sugar Cookies

Posted on: Mar 20, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
I do not know who Granny is or was, but I do know she made a delicious cutout sugar cookie.  I got the recipe a LONG time ago at a Tupperware party when I bought their cookie cutters.  I made them all the time for school events and parties when the children were growing up.  […]

Cream Cheese Icing

Posted on: Mar 12, 2012        In: In the Kitchen, Recipes        With: No comments
Here is the icing I use for Granny’s Sugar Cookies.  It is easy, and do I love cream cheese.  It is so easy to make in the food processor, but not much trouble to mix by hand.  Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until you get the right spreading consistancy.  You do not […]
