Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a cookies recipe. They are my favorite thing to make so I try not to overdo it by posting them every other week, although I could easily do so! Cookie cookbooks are my downfall! This recipe is unusual for me because it has a secret ingredient I’ve never... Continue Reading →
Today is National Cheesecake Day! I can't think of a better type of day. Yes, I have something of a sweet tooth. But I’m trying to balance that with a number of healthy recipes this year. Hence, the slaw, salads, and protein-packed dishes. But there comes a time when only something sweet, specifically cheesecake, will... 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 →
In looking through local church cookbooks for great recipes to make, it has been a delight to find names of people who have been a part of my life. Usually it is a female, but in this case it is a man -- WWII vet Dick Beitler of Berne, Indiana. I'll explain. In 2012, I... Continue Reading →

Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of dark chocolate. The reason is due to an unfortunate experience I had in... Continue Reading →
We’re on the countdown for our moving date! Less than 2 weeks! I’ve packed nearly everything from my kitchen, including baking pans. Luckily, my local library – Wells County Public Library -- checks out baking pans, including those for muffins/cupcakes. It was my first time to use these items. They looked barely used even though... Continue Reading →
This recipe’s cookbook is one of the most ‘unofficial’ ones in my inventory. It has no cover and is simply held together by expandable brads. The front page is a typewritten page decorated with the title ‘Quick ‘n Easy’ and “Y.H.S. choir of 1987-1988.” I don't know what the Y.H.S. stands for -- I assume... Continue Reading →
I couldn't let Valentine’s Day go by without posting a special vintage recipe. My Hubbie -- lucky for me – likes all kinds of goodies normally. But his current favorite treat is cookies. His favorites have always been chocolate chip and Snickerdoodles. Luckily, I found a vintage recipe that caught my eye – Chipperdoodles. Yes,... Continue Reading →
