Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
Happy Birthday to me! This week I celebrated my birthday with family and friends. It was a great day but the first one without my husband. If you follow this blog, you’ll know that I have talked about life following my husband’s death last year. It has been tough. Actually, as I’m sure most widows... Continue Reading →
Today is National Dark Chocolate Day. Having survived one of the worst Januarys, due to weather, I decided to celebrate February and this fairly unknown foodie holiday with a vintage recipe of 40 years ago. Full disclosure: I’m not a fan of dark chocolate. The reason is due to an unfortunate experience I had in... Continue Reading →
It’s a new year and I can't wait to see what this year has in store with exciting prospects, especially in the kitchen! This winter I’m organizing my new kitchen for ease and practicality. After moving into this home in August, I had a hard time acclimating to the kitchen. Part of the reason was... Continue Reading →
Three very ripe bananas. They lay on my counter, looking forlorn. Like any cook, I couldn't toss them. The dark color of the peel told me they were growing sweeter by the day. But they had to be used fast or that sweetness would not be good. Thankfully, I found the perfect recipe for which... Continue Reading →
Moving Week is here! My head is full of details for Saturday’s big day when we move from one home to another. Approximately 20 people are expected to volunteer to help us move boxes, furniture, and other items to our new home. We are moving only one-half of a mile, but it is our first... 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 →
Did your eyes do a double take upon reading the title of this week’s sweet treat? You didn't misread and it’s not a typo. I’m calling this dessert ‘Blubarb’ because it is, of course, a combination of rhubarb and blueberries. I don't know why this pair is not seen more often in recipes! They’re fabulous...

This is the week of our country’s independence, starting in 1776! Happy birthday, America! We are a patriotic family and so I try to show my support for our patriotic holidays as often as possible. This Fourth of July I’m focusing on showing my patriotism through my baking. After looking online and in magazines for... Continue Reading →
Are you, like me, living in the middle of a heat wave? Yesterday we reached 96 degrees in this part of Indiana and the rest of the week is predicted to be just as warm. Reports are that many parts of the country are suffering equally difficult living conditions. In short, not a good time... Continue Reading →
I was in the mood to do some baking this week (surprise, surprise). Cookies were my first option (again, no surprise to those who follow this blog as I've shared several in the past). Then I thought of the time that cookies took – mixing the ingredients, preparing cookie sheets (usually 4), waiting for each... Continue Reading →
