In all honesty, I never saw my mom make this…I have never had this…but OMG, this is right up my alley, and likely was made for my dad (who was a big peanut butter fan). I just can’t imagine this not working — it has brownies (you don’t have to even do them from scratch, …
This is THE recipe, well, one version of THE recipe — THE CUSTARD RECIPE! See, when I was growing up custard was one of those amazing treats that I couldn’t get enough of…early on mom made mostly “baked custard” (which I make and post for all you lovely people soon, I promise, but we are …
Guys, I found this amazing cake…and made it…and it was so good I’ve got to share: Chocoflan ¼ cup cajeta — if you don’t have this just make a soft caramel (or melt down some caramels from the store) Cake: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon …
I don’t ever remember my mom making this one, but I do remember the “pick your own” farm down the road. They had asparagus (which we picked A LOT of) and later blueberries — which was not as much fun as it sounded because they had only recently planted those bushes and they were like …
I just had to post really quickly about my sourdough starter. I know, I know, everyone is all about sourdough starter right now. Food insecurity will do strange things to people who have the time and resources — or perhaps (like in my case) it is just BOREDOM! Anyway, her name is Polly PureBread. Full …
You gotta love any recipe that starts with, “Every woman’s sauce is her own.” Because, isn’t it true? We are all made up of ingredients that may seem simple, but combined are inspiring. So, Leesa — of Red Gravy fame — is one of my sister’s oldest friends. As in grade school, y’all! And her …
We have another guest recipe today — why? Because sometimes I just get in the mood for something and I want to make it. You know how it is — you start thinking about Carrot Souffle and then you can’t stop thinking about the light, airy deliciousness. Your mouth is watering for warm carroty goodness …
Mom didn’t really have a recipe for this, because it was really a “use what is on hand” sort of recipe — which is perfect for our isolated status, where I’m spending time trying to clean out the cabinet rather than risking the stoes. It’s not that I can’t get groceries…it’s just…well, ya’ll I tried …
So, I’m stuck at home because of a pandemic (which is something I never thought I’d write in my life) — so what am I doing? Baking and Cooking! I have realized that getting up and getting to work takes a lot more energy than I think it does. Since we’ve been home (I’m working …
It is amazing how just MAKING FOOD educates you…I was getting ready to make this recipe for Chicken Divan (which my family always called Chicken Couch — because why would you NOT?) and noted the 4-6 chicken breasts. I decided to cut the recipe down to 3 chicken breasts and cut everything else roughly in …
