First-Time Tamales

February 7, 2021February 7, 2021 Barbara

I guess I did wait a long time to try my hand at tamales—I’m 70—but I have thought about them a lot. I just never did much steaming and that is what kind of kept me away from them, that … Continue reading First-Time Tamales

Fancy Scalloped Potatoes

January 30, 2021March 20, 2021 Barbara

Who knew that just by putting sliced potatoes on end you’d turn an old-fashioned, homey side into the glamorous center of your table. I made these scalloped potatoes with only a few changes: I used red potatoes, sliced with the … Continue reading Fancy Scalloped Potatoes

Checking Off the Never-Had List

January 26, 2021 Barbara

In June, we will have been married 30 years, and we dated for 5 years before that, so it was a real surprise when my husband announced that he never had pineapple upside down cake. How is that even possible? … Continue reading Checking Off the Never-Had List

Updated Pizza Preferences

January 25, 2021January 27, 2021 Barbara

Once, I actually said “do not use fresh mozzarella🤪.” Ha! Now it’s part of our favorite pizza toppings. Go figure 🙃 Our new favorite pizza uses fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and Parmesan white sauce. I just twist each slice of prosciutto … Continue reading Updated Pizza Preferences
