Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past
We have certainly had the hot weather in the Midwest. It is somewhat unusual for us to have temps in the 90s in June – usually it would be mid to high 80s but not more. So, I’ve searched for vintage dinner recipes that can be cooked without the oven. Today’s recipe is a great... Continue Reading →
Do you feel confident sharing your food with others? I have done so on several occasions, only to discover later some dishes were somewhat less than I had hoped for in taste and appearance. Cases in point: The lemon quick bread I gave to a relative was in thanks for help on a project. Unfortunately,... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
In honor of International Waffle Day, I’m offering you the oldest waffles you may ever eat! Actually, it’s a recipe for the oldest waffles you’ll probably ever eat. And they are delicious! I have to admit, I had my doubts. Early attempts to re-create recipes of the 20th century have not always had much taste... Continue Reading →
I’ve been re-creating vintage recipes long enough now to know not every one is a keeper. Some recipes, while sounding good and made satisfactorily, just didn't strike true with our household tastes. That is not true of Meatball Stew. (Those other recipes don't make it to this blog. I love the recipes I post.) In... Continue Reading →
I feel like this post could be called ‘Ode to Macaroni and Cheese.’ That’s because my family loves this dish so much. I grew up eating macaroni and cheese regularly. It was as much a part of our routine as Cheese Toasties (Grilled Cheese to the rest of the world) on Sunday nights and Cherry... Continue Reading →
Today is National Pizza Day! It’s also Super Bowl Sunday. This latter fact makes no difference to me as I’m not a football (or any sport) fan. But I do like pizza! Even if I don't like sports, I don't begrudge others who do. Everyone knows pizza is the No. 1 food on this given... Continue Reading →
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 →
