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
Der Dutchman Restaurant in Holmes County, Ohio
The Amish Country in Ohio is a great area to get home-style comfort food that is consistently delicious. My two favorite place are actually owned by the same company that also has locations in Florida. Although they still own less than 10 restaurants, it is a much larger company than I ever expected to be […]

Everything is Delicious at Everything Bagels
There is a hidden treasure in Cincinnati. It is a bagel shop, Everything Bagels. Hidden from view of, yet almost next to, State Route 32 in the Eastgate area is this wonderful local gem that serves fantastic bagels and sandwiches.

Luigi’s Pizzeria in Louisville, Kentucky
We almost did not eat here. We walked by it to see what else was in the area. After all, it was very close to the Louisville Slugger Museum, so we thought it was probably overpriced and not very good. After walking several blocks, we returned and took our chances. It was a very good […]

Wally’s Restaurant in Chattanooga
Wally’s is an old-school restaurant that has a loyal following, good food, and great prices. Although there is another location in nearby East Ridge, Tennessee, I have only been to the McCallie Avenue location in Chattanooga. It is a great place to have breakfast. Not only is breakfast served from 6 – 11 a.m., they […]
Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl
Just off of I-70 in Zanesville, Ohio there is a place where you can be transported back to another time, perhaps your childhood. Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl is not a “retro” shop, it is the real thing. Its decor from the tables to the soda fountain bar to the floor are the same as they […]
New Orleans To Go: To Cincinnati?
How does someone who does not live in Cincinnati end up recommending the Po’ Boys from a food truck in the Ohio city’s downtown? The simple answer is because of my brother-in-law. He has raved about the terrific food served by the New Orleans To Go since he first ate it. He has even managed […]
Yummy Po’-Boy in Huntsville, AL
If you like Po’-Boys and are near Huntsville, Alabama, then I suggest you try the Po-Boy Factory. They had a good variety of choices of Po-boys including shrimp, craw fish, oysters, and catfish. In fact, you can even get a combination of any of the two I just mentioned on one sandwich. I had the […]
Woody’s Crab House: Home of the Best Crab Cakes
I wish I was enjoying the end of the summer visiting my in-laws. No, I am not being sarcastic. Yes, I have very nice in-laws. No, seriously, they are nice. I must admit though that one of the reasons I would like to be visiting them and not vise-versa (other than my house currently looks […]
