Each Wednesday in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper the is a long-running column called Melba’s Swap Shop. I guess Melba has been running the column for a very long time. I have seen recipe booklets titled Melba’s Swap Shop with different volume numbers. All the recipes are from home cooks throughout out state. Last week, I…
Sweets
Cranberry, Clove and Cinnamon Ham Glaze
I know it seems as if I have fallen off the face of the earth, but not true – just busy with Halloween and a few hiccups at work that have been smoothed out now – and life is back to normal, whatever THAT is. Just a small picture of the Wizard of Oz extravaganza…
Tricks for Treats
I don’t know about you, but I am a regular person – no super powers here and as the holidays roll around I begin trying to find tricks for my treats. Let me see a show of hands: how many of you have waited till the last minute to fix something for a party you…
Candy Corn Cob Pinterest Fail
Remember when I posted about the Bunny Rolls that weren’t really rolls at all? This is another one of those posts. My cousin Debbie posted a picture on my personal FB page of this corn cob made from candy corn and a banana……………or so it said on the picture. I thought it was easy enough…
Milky Way Bundlettes
Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to get on a schedule since the kids moved in but so far it’s not working out very well! I am sure I will get used to all the activity soon – in the meantime, do you remember last Valentine’s Day when I tried…
Rice Krispie Candy
I found this recipe on the Imperial Sugar site and knew I wanted to try these. They were made for Imperial Sugar by the blogger at Fields of Cake. The recipe is easy and the taste is deee-licious! I changed it just a little by adding my own idea of what good toppings would be…
Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls
Are you a Gluten Free family? Do you have Celiac Disease? I suppose if you have never tasted bread, rolls, pizza or cinnamon rolls then you wouldn’t miss them but what about someone who loved them and suddenly found eating it would make you sick? That would be awful! So – this recipe is for…
Peach Cobbler
My Nana was such a great cook and I didn’t even give it a second thought growing up – these days I sure wish I had paid more attention to what she did. She made a wonderful cobbler. Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, apple and peach. Her cobbler crust was not exactly like pie crust and it…
Easy Pillsbury Funfetti Halloween Doll Cake
Boy has it been a wild few days but I worked this cake in so if you wanted, you could too and get it done before Halloween. When I was 6-years-old my parents gave me a Barbie cake and even though I was not a big Barbie doll player, I loved that cake and always…
Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pot Pie
I love chicken pot pie, Mr. Picky Eater? Not so much. It’s his problem with most things vegetable that cause an issue. Since we have been married, I have had chicken pot pie only when out to dinner but some nights I really just want to make it here – especially on those cold rainy…
