I have several Peeps themed recipes planned for the weeks leading up to Easter so I should be able to get them all done if I post about one per week. If not, I will have to step it up and do more than that. I shared my Sunflower Peeps Cake last week and of…
Recipes
Bacon & Beer Alfredo Sauce
I love this sauce. It tastes wonderfully rich and complex when lightly covering ravioli. It even tastes good with a spoon! Bacon and Beer are not generally associated with alfredo but once you try it, you will not want any other kind. I cannot remember where I got the recipe but it was so long…
Nana’s Cabbage Rolls
When I was a girl, Nana grew cabbage in the garden and this was one of the recipes she made to use the cabbage. I made it exactly as the recipe called and I think this recipe is one of the best renditions of hers that I have ever done. In a moment I was…
Bacon and Cabbage
I want to welcome all the new people who are now following this blog because of my friends Joan at Chocolate, Chocolate and More and Retro Wifey! There is also someone who shared my Aunt Irene’s Lemon Meringue Pie on FaceBook Sunday but I cannot figure out who it is – if you know…
Aunt Irene’s Old Fashioned Lemon Meringue Pie
My Aunt Irene was not my aunt; she was my mom’s best friend. She and my Uncle Ray introduced my mother to my dad about three years after my biological dad passed away. We went to church with them and that is where they were introduced. Aunt Irene and Uncle Ray had been friends with…
Nana’s Pound Cake
Today is National Pound Cake Day! I love pound cake, don’t you? When I am nauseated, pound cake is the best internal settler I have found. Do you have a favorite kind of pound cake like me? My Nana’s (of course) was the very best – but a cold piece of Sara Lee will do…
Cinnamon Sugar Pecans
Remember when I told you about our pecan trees and how Rocket, Top Girl, and SIL went into the backyard and picked up two or three bucketfuls of them? We took them to the nut place and had them cracked and blown – then we took them to mom and she shelled them for me….
Alpine Sauce
Does Bleu Cheese sauce make you blue? Does Ranch dressing make you wretch? Have I got a dip for you! I call it Alpine sauce because it is as close as I can get to the Alpine Sauce of my favorite childhood pizza hangout – Lindenloft Pizza. The would spread it over hot dog buns…
Super Secret Ingredient No Bake Cookies
Good morning friends……….is it still morning? This is my third attempt at this post. I made these cookies this weekend when I was feeling great – I even felt great as I drove to work yesterday morning but about an hour in to the day I started sneezing and getting stuffed up which is not…
Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Icing
Last week when I was hunting up my mom’s birthday cake recipe, I ran across a couple of interesting things that I will be sharing over the next few weeks. This first one has to do with Rose. My mother has had four best friends in her life Mary Jo was her best friend in…
