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
The Jug in Newport, Ohio
What surpasses a locally owned and operated dairy bar or ice cream stand that serves soft serve ice cream, sundaes, shakes, hot dogs, and other dairy bar food? One with all of that plus it sits along the Ohio River and has great views. My obsession affinity for a good, local dairy bar means I frequent […]
Easy Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
I originally developed a quick, short-cut dairy-free cream of mushroom soup just so my husband could eat one of his favorite side dishes, green bean casserole. It is almost the same as my dairy-free condensed soup alternative, just with a few changes. My daughter also really likes green bean casserole, so I had her taste test […]

Pecan Praline Sauce
My dad had quite a sweet tooth. During the summer months, we would often go out for an evening drive and get ice cream. He LOVED chocolate and so did my little sister. My mom and I could take it or leave it…mainly leave it. While they usually ordered some sort of chocolate ice cream, […]

Spiced Peaches
As a child, I only remember eating commercially canned peaches at school or, on a rare occasion, in a restaurant. I also remember that I could not believe how awful they tasted compared to the home-canned peaches that I normally ate. As an adult, I realize that my child eats home-canned peaches about as often as I […]
Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops
Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops with Spiced Peaches may be the epitome of summer in the South. The sweet tea brine results in flavorful and tender chops. The brine also makes the pork chops easier to grill without drying them out. Grilled Sweet Tea Pork Chops are easy to make, but they do require a […]
Pho Bac in Atlanta
Among the many great places to eat in the many strip malls along Buford Highway in metro Atlanta is Pho Bac. An unassuming family run restaurant that is has an appealing decor and a nice atmosphere. It serves some of the best Pho I have ever eaten…even if I ordered PHO TOM and received PHO DAU […]
Blueberry Soup
My husband is kind of obsessed with cold dessert soups. It is really ironic because most are made with dairy, and he is allergic to dairy. Recently, he insisted on adapting the Strawberry Soup recipe and making blueberry soup for the community free lunch soup at our church. With my daughter as his taste tester, […]
