I am very excited tell you about a new project I was invited to participate in called the Blogger C.L.U.E. Society. The CLUE stands for: Cook, Learn, Undertake, and Eat. I will be participating once per month with 17 other bloggers as we discover each other, our blogs, and undertaking each other’s recipes. That will…
Holidays
Copycat Taco Bueno Muchaco
I have a confession to make: I would do just about anything for a Taco Bueno Beef Muchaco – seriously, it can be dangerous sometimes when I want one and we are very far from a store. Those thick soft taco shells all supple and tender holding refried beans, taco meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes…
Smorgastarta
A Smorgastarta is a Swedish Sandwich Cake recipe that has many variations. I had my first one at my Aunt and Uncle’s home on graduation night for my cousin. Aunt Jan used bright pink food coloring for one of the layers and I was so mesmerized by this great tasting savory “cake” with bright pink…
Prejean’s Gumbo
October 12 was national gumbo day, giving me an excuse to make the warm comforting dish. I began making it at the request of Lawyer Boy after he spent one summer in Lafayette, La for an internship. His dad and I visited him while he was there and had the pleasure of eating dinner at…
Sweet and Savory Kolaches
This weekend will be the annual Czech Festival in Yukon, Oklahoma. Yukon is about 30 miles from here and I have been there many times to visit family but never to the festival. I read there are about 2,500 dozen kolaches baked for the festival. The entire weekend is spent celebrating the Czech heritage by…
Quick Halloween Treats
While none of my recipes look professional, some look moreso than others. Today’s treats look far less than professional but honestly – they look perfect to me because Rocket did them! He is not yet 2 1/2 years old so they are pretty stellar if you ask me. The Owls – Mr. Picky Eater says…
Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake with Caramel Apple Icing
I know I just posted last night but this is so amazing I thought I would post now so you could plan on making this for Thanksgiving and the sooner you plan, the better! Happy Sunday Night! In the last couple of years about this time you see 2 ingredient and 3 ingredient cakes made…
A Sweet Potato Pie That Meets All Your Holiday Needs
That’s right! Old Fashioned, diabetic, lactose intolerant, gluten free and finally Uh-Oh-I-Totally-Forgot-To-Make-It sweet potato pies. With my mother’s side of the family so large, there were many different dietary needs during family gatherings and because of that, Nana made sweet potato pie many different ways in various years. While the recipe card is written in…
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Cobbler
Before we get started, I want to show you what Mr. Picky Eater and I have made for Rocket – he loves that little Cozy Coupe so much he hardly wants to get out to come into the house. The little Schooner on back was an afterthought that turned out perfectly! If you…
Nana’s Candied Sweet Potatoes
Right now, I’m in heaven. I have been eating that plateful of wonderful candied sweet potatoes with that sugary buttery ambrosia from the bottom of the pan drizzled all over it! It is complete bliss and no, it is not healthy – but it is a holiday dish so let’s just call it a…
