Capturing Delicious Recipes From the Past

Today is National Pie Day! What a great food to celebrate! To be honest, I’ve not made many pies in my life. When my kids were growing up, I made cakes that offered more slices per recipe for my hungry crowd. With a pie each person would only get a single slice and it would... Continue Reading →
Christmas is almost here. Yikes! If you’re, like me, short on time and cash but need a dish to take to a gathering, I suggest Spiced Pecans. They can be whipped it up in less than 15 minutes. Allow 30 minutes for them to cool after baking and you can scoop these luscious, gluten-free snacks... Continue Reading →

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 →

What I’ve learned after scanning dozens (hundreds?) of 40+ years old cookbooks is that a ‘salad’ differed greatly back then to what it is known for today. Cookbooks written prior to the 1980s often used colored gelatin, otherwise known as ‘Jello’... 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 →
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 →
