If you are hoping I am going to share my mom’s noodle recipe, I am – Reames Frozen Homestyle Egg Noodles. Really, that was it. She rarely made her own noodles after finding Reames in the 1970’s. Yes, she did make them on rare occasion, but I am not sure what recipe she used. I […]

Hippos Are Edible
I almost did not share this discovery. Edible hippos are hard to find in the United States. I was not sure I wanted to compromise an already endangered supply. Yes, I know that the hippos found in the zoo and the jungle are not edible (to the best of my knowledge), the hippos found in […]
The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook
First, let me just say that I do not own this cookbook. I know people who own this cookbook. I have read it extensively. They have it at the library. I really like this cookbook, but I do not own it. Second, this cookbook is one of my favorite general cookbooks along with the Better […]
Lamb Burgers
Want a break from regular hamburgers or is there a good sale on ground lamb? Try these lamb burgers. I combined ingredients from a couple of different recipes to come up with this one we like.

My maternal grandmother drank Whistle Soda Pop. I loved the fruit flavored pop with the note on the bottle. My paternal grandmother […]
Never Fail Pie Crust? Well, Maybe
Okay, this pie crust is supposed to be an easy, never fail kind of recipe. Well, I will admit that when I did follow the directions given me by my aunt, my pie crust failed. In my family, we frequently leave out leave out directions that we always do but often don’t think about. In […]
Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook
This was my very first adult cookbook. I had a couple of cookbooks that I bought from a book fair in grade school, but this one did not tell me to have a parent present when doing anything with a stove. I really like this cookbook. Yes, I have a much older edition than the […]
Food I Can Not Find in the South
When I moved from “Up North,” I knew things would be different in the South. I was not surprised to find more sweet tea, bbq, black-eyed peas and all sorts of greens. I am surprised at what I can not find. I can not find Coco Wheats. Yes, that hot cereal is no where to […]
