Years ago I was at a pot luck dinner and one of the dishes I particularly enjoyed was saffron rice. The lady that brought that dish wasn’t into sharing recipes, so I forgot all about it…until recently that is. I was thumbing through a magazine and saffron rice was mentioned. I starting trying different recipes, […]
Our local grocer often has country style ribs on sale, so I decided I’d give them a try. While searching for a recipe to suit my family’s tastes, I came across this recipe and folks…it’s a keeper. Of course I read the reviews and many folks were concerned with the low cooking time, fearing they […]
When I was a youngster, we always had some sort of roast on Sundays. One of my very favorites was pot roast, served with mashed taters smothered in gravy along with a veggie. I don’t recall whether or not my Mom used this particular recipe, but it’s been one of my family’s favorites since the […]
I recently traveled to Colorado to attend my nephews wedding. While there, his soon to be mother in law invited us over for dinner. For dessert, she baked a pineapple upside down cake. Now I must admit, I generally don’t care for this type of cake as it is usually extremely sweet. However, this cake […]
While searching for a few new Polish recipes, I came across this gem and since I love gizzards, I decided to try it out. The original recipe listed allspice seeds, but since I only had ground allspice, I used that instead. I also added a chicken bouillon cube to add a dab more chicken flavor. […]

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 […]
While thumbing through an old cookbook of Mom’s, I came across a handwritten recipe for a cake that I haven’t had in over 60 years. Just seeing Mom’s beautiful handwriting again just about brought tears to my eyes. But even more joy filled my heart when I read the ingredients and realized this was one […]
I’ve always enjoyed a light, not too sweet dessert, that wasn’t too difficult to whip up. While surfing the web, I came across this recipe from Spatula Desserts. It sounded easy to prepare, so I decided to give it a try. The custard was silky and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. The […]
