Long considered the most important meal of the day, I’ve got sweet and savory options, many of which can be prepared the night before for speedy service in the morning.
On a recent visit to my son’s house, he prepared a wonderful dish for us called Butter Chicken. It is a warm and pleasantly spiced dish often served in India communities. This dish is prepared in an instant pot, or a pressure cooker. I want to mention that the original recipe called for 1 teaspoon […]
I was thumbing through an old church cookbook, looking for something different, when I came across a recipe for ham loaf. It had been many, many years since I had enjoyed a slice of ham loaf and wondered if I would still like it. Beings I had some leftover ham, I figured I’d give it […]
Apple season is here and there is nothing better than a crunchy, juicy apple picked fresh off the tree. Well, if you’re anything like me, you tend to buy more than we can use. So when you’re done making pies, turnovers and apple pancakes, how about whipping up a batch of apple butter! This tasty […]
Recently I was at the car dealers waiting for my car to be serviced when a lady came in and noticed I was reading a cooking magazine. We started chatting and I told her all about my website. We talked for quite some time about different coffee cakes and she mentioned that her daughter bakes […]
Years ago, I always cooked my corned beef in the oven in a covered roaster. Then the slow cookers came about and I switched to that method. I was never satisfied with the outcome. Either the meat was a little tough or it fell apart…it was never “just right.” Then I bought an Instant Pot […]
Every year when blueberries are at their peak, I bake this fabulous coffee cake. Bursting with flavor, this moist cake will please everyone. I prefer fresh blueberries, but frozen works as well. A special thanks to Ruby (RIP) for sharing this recipe back in 1971.
What’s better than a freshly made, crispy yet tender waffle, topped with fresh berries and dusted with powdered sugar? Maybe you prefer a pat of butter and a generous splash of syrup or some homemade jam. Whatever your preference is, you’re going to love these melt in your mouth waffles. Sometimes I add pecans or […]
Years ago I had a big garden which yielded an enormous crop of zucchini. Even after sharing with friends and neighbors, I still had tons, so I started my search for zucchini recipes. Luckily, I found this gem. I didn’t think my family would care for it as they are “meat and potato” folks, but […]
I’ve been baking these tender scones for many years. You can alter the recipe to fit your mood. For example, if I’m adding cranraisins, I switch the vanilla extract to orange extract for a cranberry orange scone. If I want a lemon poppy scone, I use lemon extract instead of vanilla, and add a Tablespoon […]
Nothing’s better than hot biscuits , fresh out of the oven, smothered in sausage gravy , with a couple of fried eggs and a hot cup of coffee. This sausage gravy is rich and creamy with chunks of sausage. If you own a cast iron skillet, I would recommend using it for a nice, brown […]
