  • Apple Pie

    Apple Pie

    Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp; Red Delicious a bit sweeter and softer, in a baked pie.

    This Dinner Roll recipe is mine. It started from my years of baking experience and a recipe from an old cookbook, putting the two things together quite awhile ago.

  • On Taco’s and Farmers Breakfast

    We are having Taco’s for dinner tonight. I’m not making them, the children are. I have recipes on this site, things I make up, and they use either that, or a printout of it to make dinner.

  • Muffin Cake

    I was making muffins for breakfast yesterday morning and then something happened which made me hand the process off to my daughter. I was going to write the recipe down on an index card, but I got distracted by the other thing, and then my husband and I had to go to homedepot for the…

  • Penne Pasta & other dishes

    I had a box of Penne pasta I’d gotten at Costco a long time ago, never used any of it since I like the Capellini pasta with my homemade version of meat sauce often, and didn’t want to add another tomato sauce dish into the mix. (All my life I made meatballs to go with…

  • Spelt Bread (food)

    I’ve ignored my Sourdough cultures of late. I’ve taken to this process: Day 1: Put 1 1/2 cups of whole grain spelt in a bowl, and mix into that 1 cup of yoghurt. Cover with plastic well, and sit that bowl on a shelf until sometime the next day, to make bread with it. I…

  • Sourdough and Spelt, Soaking, bread (food)

    I put my original sourdough culture in the fridge the other day, as well as a small batch of some from that which I had started to add only white spelt to. They both seemed to be going along fine, so into the fridge with them was my choice. I was reading further in my…

  • New Meals inspired by Food TV (food)

I didn’t make fresh Kamut pasta, my preference –what I haven’t done much in the past, but am trying to get going regularly now, but I did use Spelt pasta, bought at Whole Foods, a VitaSpelt product (Purity). It’s a dry boxed pasta, Angel Hair being my favorite…

  • St. Patty eats (food)

    Tomorrow is “St. Patty Day” … I have Irish in my family tree (many, many years ago); and I had a beloved Aunt who was married to my blood-uncle — she was 100% Irish (as far as I know) but born (I think) in the USA, and raised in the USA. I like having the…

  • Meatloaf (food)

    I’m making a meatloaf for dinner, in the crock pot. I haven’t made many “meatloaf” dishes in the past few years, used to make them more in the past. I think I’ve done one in the crock pot before, but not more than that, usually prefering the oven … but today I am trying it…

  • Older Meal made once again

    Frank let me get a new crock pot last week. I had three, and something went wrong with each one, and the last time I used one was some months ago already. Costco had a certain one in stock, a decent price, but it was fluffy-boo-coo to me. I didn’t want it. It was all…
