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
Garden is doing OK, or maybe you should ask the deer I bet they have a better feel for how it is going grrrrr. My dog is not doing his job as well as my last dog. We have noticed a definite decline in us enjoying our garden that we spend time money and effort on. The deer and bunnies seem to LOVE it. Where … Continue reading Zucchini Bread
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
A thought came to me earlier this week about all the cookies I have made for our #worldwidewednesday meals and was curious how many there have been and how many I would and have made again because they were so good. Thinking how would a cookie around the world cookbook go? Could I do such a thing? Would people be excited for such a thing? … Continue reading Lime Cookies
It seems that no matter how many bananas I buy each week there is always one left. I wonder if it is so one of us makes Sunday Banana Pancakes. Sometimes our inspiration is hearing Jack Johnsons song Banana Pancakes playing. My husband usually is the one that makes them but he is currently out of commission. He works WAY too hard and has a … Continue reading Banana Pancakes
Last night was my annual Christmas party; it was a blast and I am not just saying that because I threw it but we always have so much fun eating, drinking and singing around the piano. Once we make it through all the usual festive Christmas songs out comes Billy Joel, Elton John, James Taylor show tunes and even Abba yes we rocked Super Trouper. … Continue reading Pear Bread
If you are anything like me and I can only assume you might be slightly since you are reading this? I see a recipe that sounds delicious so I either end up printing it or ripping it out of whatever I am looking at. However I do tend to steer clear of ones that look difficult; you know the ones that have the never ending … Continue reading 15 Minute Doughnut Holes
I am definitely open to trying new things; I actually encourage everyone to at least try something before you decide “I don’t like it”. Which is a far cry from how I grew up; I had a strict rule I would not eat anything that was green; except iceberg lettuce. Thankfully I have changed my ways or life would certainly be pretty boring and I … Continue reading Tomatillo Chili w/Pork and Hominy – or as I referred to it as running with scissors
For as many zucchini breads I make I messed up a batch a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was karma for me forgetting an ingredient on my initial post and a friend’s bread did not work out for him. SF sorry this post is too late for your sugarless bread. My error was I forgot to add baking soda; it is edible but pretty … Continue reading Problem sweet bread – make bread pudding
Our gardens are doing really well this year for the most part. The only disappointments are my peppers, both the bell and jalapeno’ peppers are just not growing or producing. We have had a bumper crop of zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers. We have been getting a ton of cherry tomatoes and plenty of roma; I fear all of my beef steaks will all turn … Continue reading Zucchini Bread
