For The Love of Food and Making Great Memories
This dish was fun, but a little challenging when it came to presentation. I wanted the traditional flavors but needed, in my opinion, to stay away from the traditional plating. I will admit, it’s been some time since I made a roast, but it sure reminded me of family, friends and was fit for the season. Enjoy!
The idea of having warm tuna wasn’t something I looked forward to, but…MY GOODNESS! I wanted to add some freshness to this recipe with the addition of herbs and some fresh lemon zest . This recipe is one that can help stretch a dollar, but is definitely not lacking in flavor. A must try!
This dish is very near and dear to my heart. It was one of the first I tried as a home cook and am still very open to perfect at all costs. This dish is what I used as a gateway to open my kids up to try new things.
A light, refreshing drink that makes your taste buds do the jig. This beverage can be made ahead for your next gathering. Just add the 7-up when serving. This came from a little booklet, probably dating back to the later 60s or early 70s full of Southern Comfort drinks
This recipe was inspired by an article from a newsletter from a local power company in the 1970’s. I aimed to lighten and brighten the recipe as it seemed very heavy and over shadowed the spinach. I love using fresh produce when possible and this vibrant green soup was well received by the pickiest of family members. There are several ways to make substitutions to any lifestyle whether vegetarian or vegan. This savory soup may be served warm or chilled. Here’s the original from that newsletter
More of a breakfast cake than a dessert in my eyes, filled coffee cake is my go to “chaser” for mornings when I need more than a second cup of coffee. If you can resist eating the entire pan, this cake freezes well if wrapped tightly to eliminate as much air as possible. It’s easily reheated and is sturdy enough to withstand a dunk or two into your cup for a double punch of coffee flavors. Any number of nuts can be used in this recipe as well (I used leftover pecans here) so clean out the pantry and get …
This Dessert was very creamy and sweet. If I were to make it again I would make it with out the ice cream and use whipped cream instead but it was nice to share with my family
I have never heard of having cottage cheese with scrambled eggs before. This dish was from the 60’s or 70’s time frame. I decided to make it into something totally different. I made this into an egg omelet. It was delicious.
Hot cocoa is something that is so comforting on cold mornings. I have always loved hot cocoa or hot chocolate. I was always taught to call it hot chocolate. I can remember as a young girl my grandmother Olene would make this for all of us on cold mornings before school. It was such a welcoming treat before heading off to catch the bus for school. I made this a different way than what my grandmother made it. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
When I think of the biggest events in my life, pizza is usually in the picture. My first Valentine’s Day with the man who would become my husband was spent eating pepperoni pizza and laughing through a movie on the living room floor in my tiny home. Our honeymoon – a cruise to Mexico – found us at the pizza bar with large slices of goat cheese and basil more often than any other place on the ship. Saying we love pizza is putting it mildly so, when our favorite pizza shop closed its doors a few years ago, I …
