Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
Sometimes titles of recipes catch my eye. That was true in this case. What is green rice? In reading through this recipe I realized spinach turned the rice green. Don't let the dark green color put you off! Even people who don't think they like spinach will find this a tasty dish. Although I regularly... Continue Reading →
I like meat recipes that include vegetables and am constantly on the lookout for them. This recipe called Chicken Continental does that in a delicious way. I added cooked carrot slices for more veggie power. The chicken is covered in a white sauce that keeps the protein source moist and flavorful. This recipe is not... Continue Reading →
Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! I can't think of a better culinary item to celebrate. Chocolate chips have been a mainstay in my home all of my life – during childhood, when my children were young and through to today. I always have semi-sweet chocolate chips in their regular size. Sometimes I purchase the... Continue Reading →
Happy National Apple Pie Day! I don't make a lot of pies because it seems like a lot of work for only 8 servings. But I decided to give this recipe a go, especially since it had a special title. The word ‘impossible’ caught my attention. Presumably, it’s called impossible because the pie makes its... Continue Reading →

Maybe not as the main ingredient as in this recipe for ‘Quick ‘N Easy Carrot Bread’, but they will play a part in each dish. Stay tuned! Remember, Bunny Rabbit on... Continue Reading →
When I began researching vintage recipes and cookbooks 18 months ago, I did it for fun and comfort. Stress was a big part of my life (and continues to be) and thinking of my mom and grandmas (people who had loved me) made me happy. Sadly, all of these wonderful women are gone now, but...

Thanks to all of you who have reached out in response to earlier posts in which I shared thoughts about my grief journey after losing my husband last year. It was a risky step putting such personal stuff out there. I don't feel I have any advice to share so if you’ve not read any... Continue Reading →
I made this recipe in memory of Mom who would have celebrated her 96th birthday recently. As you can see from this photo, she looked good in the color. I thought creating one of her recipes which she handwrote for my sisters and me (she had beautiful handwriting) in red would be appropriate. I remember... Continue Reading →
