The Domestically Impaired Guide to the Retro Kitchen Arts
This Chicken Waldorf Salad is an oldie but goodie. But first, my heart is heavy and I must tell you that Lillian from Lillian’s Cupboard blog has passed away unexpectedly. She was an 85-year-old dynamo that was full of love, recipes and knitting! She led a great life from start to finish in Ohio and…
Are you ready for the holidays? Boy Howdy — here we go! This recipe is for Fresh Green Bean Casserole instead of the kind you make with canned green beans. That one get a bit mushy, don’t you think? It is pretty straight forward and I think you will love it — you can, like…
Top Girl, here! Bringing you one of my favorite kinds of cake. Some people prefer chocolate cake and others prefer vanilla cake, but my favorite has less to do with flavor and more to do with shape. My favorite cake is a bundt cake and almost always with no icing. I like my bundt cake…
This is a very difficult post to write and has no recipe. It is about your or someone else’s Cpap or Bipap machine. The reason this is important is because I desperately need a Bipap machine and it is completely cost prohibitive to me at this time. The waiting list for a local benevolent association…
How are y’all doing? Has it cooled off where you live? It sure has here! I actually wore a light jacket the other night in between all the rain and windiness. This stuffed peppers with sausage and grits is a bit labor intensive but oh-so-worth-it! Sweet bell peppers of all colors are in abundance right…
This DYI Super Smooth Body Lotion works incredibly well, is easy, cheap, and makes GREAT Christmas presents! Eliot’s Eats originally first made it and I just love it. I like to dress it up with essential oils to really get that boutique lotion smell. I have made several batches of DIY Body Lotion using the…
Are you ready for Football season? Tailgating? Feasting? What about holiday parties coming up soon? Yep — me too! I love cooler weather and snacking. This Queso Monkey Bread with Chorizo (or spiced up hamburger meat) fits the bill. I always give credit when credit is due but honestly, I had to remake this recipe…
Welcome to Pieathalon 5! Yep, it has been five years since I began participating in this worldwide challenge – missing last year for the heart issues. But I am back and accepting the challenge from our great leader, Emily of Dinner is Served 1972. When I chose my pie recipe to contribute, I chuckled…
Good Sunday Morning! Can you guess why I have made these Ooey-Gooey decadent Chocolate Salted Caramel Pecan Oatmeal Bars along with other #Bakingbloggers this month? Here’s Why: Today is the last day of summer vacation for my grandson and me. Tomorrow morning he begins school again and I am still his learning coach so busy…
What are you doing this fine Sunday? I am making more of the Chow Chow I made a few weeks ago and my daughter asked me to make a salsa recipe for canning. Something I have not done in several years. I had everything I needed having gone to the Farmer’s Market yesterday and getting…
It’s Muffin Monday! I don’t get to participate very often but when I do it is always loads of fun. This month I made Cinnamon, Brown Sugar and Golden Raisin Muffins. The cinnamon and brown sugar make the muffins look rather dark but they are oh-so-delicious! Please check out the bottom of the page…
How are you all surviving these dog days of summer? I have discovered a sweet that will cool everyone down. Pineapple Pie. You can make it with canned pineapple or fresh pineapple. You can make your own pie crust or buy them. It tastes delicious and guess what? The recipe is easy a pie…….. so…
I posted on my face book page that I was making my mom neck bone this weekend and I had several requests for the recipe – so, I decided to make a post of it. Neck bone is a southern dish that was on our table several times a year when I was a…
Sesame Beef How are you surviving all the heat? It has been brutal here and I honestly cringe each evening when I have to heat up the kitchen. This quick sesame beef recipe does not require the oven and is so delicious you will enjoy it the next day for lunch. If there is any…
Do you love cheese steak? Gooey cheese, peppers, onions, and thin sliced steak on roll is heavenly combination at our house. The smell of peppers and onions cooking wafts through the house and makes the guys perk up and wander into the kitchen to see, “What’s for Dinner?” This Saturday Philly Cheese Steak…
This is my Nana’s Chow Chow Recipe. How long has it been since you have had Chow Chow? Do you know what it is? For those of you who do not, chow chow is a preparation added to food in order to enhance its flavor, like whatever you may put on your fries although I…
Chicken ala King. An oldie but goodie that is versatile and tasty. If you use my shortcuts it will become an easy weeknight meal. If you remember it, the taste will bring back great childhood memories. If you never had it – you will love getting all the food groups into one dish that your…
Looking for a quick and easy meal to make as it heats up outside? This meal does not require an oven; it’s all quick stove top cooking. You can serve Tortellini Toss hot as a main dish or cold as a pasta salad. You can use what you have on hand, I was out of…
Sesame Noodles is an easy and tasty dish to make when you are in a hurry or when it is too hot outside to heat up the house with the stove. I got this recipe from The Pioneer Woman and never thought it would be a hit, especially with my Son-In-Law but I was so…
