I like sheet cakes and this Pumpkin Cake is another of our family favorites. It is simple, yummy and moist. I like sheet cakes because they make a good bit and don’t take a lot of time to make! Along with apple dumplings and apple crisp and pumpkin pie, I find myself thinking about this […]
Apple Dumplings
We used to get together with an aunt and uncle and cousins almost every fall and make apple dumplings. My mother would peel apples and my aunt would make the pastry and wrap the apples. We cousins would hoot and holler and play, and wait to devour apple dumplings. It seems like memories can be […]
Autumn Crunch Snack Mix
Snack Mix. It just makes you think yummy. When we’re on the go a lot or having family visit or it’s cold and snowy…any of these times are times when I like having a snack mix on hand. Not that it always happens, but it’s nice when it does. Quick, tasty snacks just seem homey, […]
Green-Bean Corn Casserole
When the air has a chill to it and you want some heat in the house, my mind turns to oven recipes and the warmth and good smells of kitchen and food and cooking and baking. This veggie casserole falls into comfort food category. Yummy, creamy, buttery cracker crumb topping… PrintGreen-Bean Corn Casserole Ingredients4 cups […]
Pumpkin Pie
It’s that time of year! Pumpkins and apples and cute little gourds and squash and Indian corn and tiny pumpkins. And the crisp air always makes me start pulling out soup recipes and thinking about apple crisp and pumpkin pie! We had cheddar chowder this week and taco soup last week. They are pretty much […]
Tasty Taco Soup
When the weather starts cooling off, I start thinking about soup and cornbread and muffins. And apple recipes and pumpkin recipes and fresh bread and cider……… And since my sister-in-law shared her abundance of tomatoes from her garden with me, I am happy to have home canned tomato juice in my pantry once again. I […]
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Do you like miniature food? Yeah, that sounds kind of funny, really!! But, I think bite size appetizers, and cheese cubes and mini muffins and things along this order are fun to eat! Plus, a lot of times they look really pretty or you can display them in an appetizing way. This muffin recipe is […]
Refrigerator Mashed Potato Casserole
We’ve been having lots of potatoes out of the garden and I’ve made a couple recipes of this mashed potato casserole and put in the freezer. So, this is a good time to post this recipe to my growing record of my favorites here on my blog! This recipe is a good way to use […]
Snicker’s Ice Cream Pie
Temperatures over a hundred degrees and ice cream desserts. Makes a pretty good combination, I’d say. If we’re going to have the first one, we might as well have the second to go with it! Let’s hear it for some Snickers Ice cream pie! PrintSnicker’s Ice Cream Pie Ingredients1 graham cracker crust 1 gallon vanilla […]
Memorial Day Weekend {hello monday}
Hello to baking! I’ve been baby-sitting my mother-in-law’s sourdough starter. I had a big baking day making friendship bread and baking loaves of wheat and white sourdough bread. The friendship bread is a cinnamon-sugar quick type bread made from the sourdough. It is yummy. We ate some of it and I stuck several loaves of […]
Deviled Eggs or Salad Eggs or Yummy Eggs
Easter is quickly approaching and surely, spring weather, coming-to-stay, isn’t far behind! I made deviled eggs this week and jotted down a recipe to share. For the most part, I’m not a cook who just whips things up by putting in a pinch of this and a cup of that and a dash of the other. […]
Herbed Oatmeal Pan Bread
I typed up a quick post about the March flexi-of-the-month last night and scheduled it to post early this morning. I wanted to share a recipe today, so I’m sitting down to get it posted. Herbed Oatmeal Pan Bread. The name alone makes it sound yummy. A friend and neighbor shared this recipe with me […]
So, This Afternoon I Made Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread
I like to bake. Unfortunately sometimes. Maybe I would be skinny if I didn’t. Oh well, isn’t there a saying, “Never trust a skinny cook?” 🙂 Cold weather and snow somehow just says baking weather, don’t you think? I do. I flipped through recipes this morning, that I’ve printed out from here and there on […]
Crockpot Party Mix
Since we had wind and snow the last couple of days and we were blanketed in with fifteen inches of snow, I made some snacks yesterday. And I enjoyed a relaxed, cozy day looking out the window at the snow and being very thankful I could stay inside my warm house. And I was thankful […]
Olive Chicken
Today I have a yummy chicken recipe for you. My sister-in-law fixed it one of the first times we visited them. She’s a very good cook. I loved it and she gladly shared the recipe. I’m not sure I would’ve ever tried it from only reading the recipe. It would’ve sounded like a lot of […]
English Muffin Pizzas
English Muffin Pizzas! Yummy! I love these. My husband is not as enthusiastic about them as I am, but hey. I like to have them in the freezer for a quick lunch for me when he’s in the tractor or gone for the day. And he will eat them on occasion. Our favorite meals differ […]
