Thanksgiving wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a serving of sweet & sour red cabbage. My mother always made her own, but since I didn’t have her recipe, I always bought a jar at the grocers. It was okay, but it wasn’t Mom’s. Then one day, I was talking about sweet & sour red cabbage to the […]

While visiting my local casino, I sat next to a pleasant lady and started to chat. After a while, we got on the subject of food and I mentioned my website to her. She asked where I get all my recipes from and I explained how some are old family recipes, some are from friends […]
Back in the 70’s, I came across this recipe in a Hunts cookbook. The original recipe called for water, but substituting a dry, white wine for the water really makes the flavors pop.
