Getting ready for up to 2 feet of snow and the Patriot’s Bronco’s game. I did have to run out a few minutes ago, I swear no how many times I run to the store I forget something, or more like Oh I want to make this and that and I run out of one key ingredients. This morning was carrots. When I went shopping … Continue reading Labne Dip
I think this is the first time I have made Chex Party Mix. I might have made this back in the 80’s but I cant be sure. I have vague recollection; but it might have been me just eating what someone else made? I have seen so many people posting that they bought their ingredients and were making theirs. I guess I had a little … Continue reading Chex Party Mix with Cinnamon and Sugar
Today my grocery shopping list will have quite a few different ingredients than my usual list. Thanksgiving is quickly coming up and I will be cooking for the family plus. The plus can be friends, extended family and on rare occasions friends of family members; we have had all of the above over the years. This year will definitely look different with the passing of … Continue reading Curly Cues
I will be making these for the Patriot’s football game with jalapeno’s from my garden. My plants are still producing, at least for another week, supposed to be another warm week around here. We have been having pub food the last few Sunday’s while the game is on. Just a few short years ago my husband and I pretty much steered clear of Jalapeno’s we … Continue reading Jalapeno Poppers
Sometimes you just need a little treat – I have been making these for as long as I can remember. They were always something yummy to make with the left over dough from making an apple pie crust. While there are many ways to make a pie crust there is only one way to make these, what I grew up calling Curly Cues. There could … Continue reading Curly Cues from leftover dough
looking at reals on my phone my favorite chef was making these and I immediately wanted one. So I made them this morning. Ina Garten is one the greats! I truly believe no one knows what goes on behind closed doors but she seems to have it all and is still a little humble. Ever since I saw her party barn in The Hamptons; I … Continue reading Chocolate Chip Pecan Scones
We had 3-5 inches of snow yesterday! So no this is definitely not from my garden, I can honestly say I have never had any tulips, no matter how many I planted, look like this picture. I thought you and I could use some beautiful flowers in our lives right now. Next week is Easter and I will not be around so my kids will … Continue reading Carrot Cake Muffins or Cake
I made this cake last week and while I really liked the flavor and how moist it was. I hated my Bundt Pan, I will also confess I have hated this pan for such a long time. I don’t use it a lot, gosh I wonder why. But I honestly can’t remember the last time it released a cake without tearing it apart. I don’t … Continue reading Moist Orange Bundt Cake
A couple of weeks ago I made brownies for the freezer, yeah they are all gone and I will be making them again; maybe even today. We are working on gathering tax crap so I may need a little something something later today. In the meantime I also thought OK lets make something you can grab from the freezer for breakfast or at least a … Continue reading Almond Flour Muffins
