Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing. It is a rather nostalgic dessert as it reminds me a little of an orange push-up ice cream treat from my childhood. Plus, it is a molded gelatin dessert, which always reminds me of the past. As with other gelatin and fruit dishes, someone might call this a "Jello salad" in the United States. However, this recipe uses an entire quart of orange sherbert in addition to gelatin, so I can not bring myself … Continue Reading about Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert
Lupi’s Pizza
If you are in the mood for pizza in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area, I suggest trying Lupi’s. The locally-owned company has three locations including one downtown. The other locations are in Hixson and the East Brainerd area. On our last visit, I noticed a sign saying they were now serving whole wheat dough grown and […]
Old Fashioned Lemony Rice Pudding
Every Easter my mom would make rice pudding. If my mom did not make it to have for dessert, she made it for Easter breakfast….it was a great breakfast 🙂 It was not the rice pudding with raisins, cinnamon, etc. It was a lemony delight that was covered in meringue and baked until the meringue […]
Pizza Burgers…Yum!
We had just placed our orders when I saw it on the menu, pizza burger. I was determined to get one the next time we went. In the meantime, I kept on thinking about those greasy, yet delicious pizza burgers of my past. The small, local, soft-serve ice cream drive-up where we bought many of […]
Lamb Stuffed Zucchini
There is a recipe in my newly acquired (but actually very old) cookbook, The Fannie Merritt Farmer Boston Cooking School Cookbook for Zucchini Stuffed with Lamb. It is a very brief recipe that leaves the seasoning details up to the reader. Taking inspiration (and the three ingredients mentioned) from the recipe, I developed my own. […]
Big Dutch Baby with Berries
Inspired by a recipe from my experience at the Taste of Home Cooking School, I decided to make a Big Dutch Baby in a more of a traditional method than than the puff pancake recipe demonstrated as part of the school. The Dutch Baby is also known as a German Pancake. It is not Dutch, […]
An Evening at Cooking School
My husband sent me to cooking school last weekend. Okay, so I had been wanting to go to one of the Taste of Home Cooking Schools for probably a decade or more, but I was never able to get tickets and/or not be teaching on the same night as the school before we moved. After […]
Trail Bologna and Cheese
When I was younger, my family would often travel a couple of hours to spend the day and shop in Ohio’s Amish Country. For lunch, we usually ate trail bologna and cheese on crackers that we would purchase from a local grocery store. Eventually, trail bologna became available in sandwich size slices instead of just […]
Simply Decadent Beef Tenderloin Steaks
A small splurge every once in a great while can sometimes be good for the soul – or at least that is what I told myself in the grocery store the other day. I was buying items to have a beef tenderloin steaks for dinner the next day. My extravagance was not the beef tenderloin […]
Grandma’s Corn Fritters
Later this week we will celebrate this post with a cake, but I lacked some basic ingredients needed to bake one today. Why? This is the 100th post on this little, but growing, food blog 🙂 I tried to decide how to celebrate this notable blog world occasion and finally decided on a celebratory cake […]
Veal and Peppers
One of my mother-in-law’s classic dishes is her veal and peppers. I usually do not make it because of the price of veal. However, it can be made using beef or chicken instead. I decided to go for it and make it with veal as a comforting treat for my husband after he was very […]
