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 […]
On our day trip to Waxahachie, Super Sister and I ate at The Dove’s Nest – an excellent restaurant located downtown Waxahachie on the square. We succumbed and ordered the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for dessert. Sweet Mother of Pearl. It was full of chocolate, pecans and had a subtle hint of bourbon. Yummy! Marsha […]
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 […]
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.

There were several types of meatballs served at the Living Stones Christmas Party. Excellent Cook Nancy sent me her recipe. It is so simple and delicious – I wanted to share. Trouble is – I do not have a picture. See the blank spaces on the table. That is where the meatballs eventually were. See […]
“Could you please get the recipe for the Pimento Cheese Tarts that The Queen of Everything made for Jessica’s baby shower?” Several of you asked, and it is with joy and thanksgiving that I am able to share this recipe with you. These little tarts are beyond delicious. The jalapeño pimento cheese has a little […]
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, […]
