Update: Kolaches

January 27, 2021February 1, 2021 Barbara

I saw this recipe on Twitter and I just had to make it: You can use whatever jam you have on hand. https://t.co/n54ZS2K9s2 — Food & Wine (@foodandwine) January 25, 2021 Here is the full recipe for Cherry and Cream … Continue reading Update: Kolaches

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

Inside-Out Snickerdoodles

March 30, 2020January 27, 2021 Barbara

Put the cinnamon inside and avoid the rolling! I kinda like Snickerdoodles, because I like cinnamon, but I’m not really crazy about the burst of sugar and cinnamon on the tongue as soon as you take a bite. So I … Continue reading Inside-Out Snickerdoodles

Still Eating, If Not Writing

March 12, 2020 Barbara

What’s been for dinner lately: Sheet pan pizza with prosciutto, Parmesan, and white sauce. The crust is from America’s Test Kitchen’s “Pizza al Taglio with Arugula and Mozzarella,” but I baked it with a Parmesan/garlic white sauce, fresh mozzarella, baby … Continue reading Still Eating, If Not Writing

Apple Pie for Thanksgiving

February 17, 2020November 7, 2021 Barbara

It’s way past Thanksgiving, but I did save the pics from baking the apple pie—Whew! I decided that I was kind of tired of the traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. We weren’t having turkey, either, so tradition was kind of … Continue reading Apple Pie for Thanksgiving

Another Contender for Grandma’s Cookies—Buttermilk Cookies

January 29, 2018March 8, 2018 Barbara

I shared my post for Serinakaker with the only two people left who might remember my grandma’s cookies, my brother and cousin. One remembered and one kinda didn’t, but my cousin has her mother’s recipe box that includes three new … Continue reading Another Contender for Grandma’s Cookies—Buttermilk Cookies

In Search of My Grandma’s Cookies: Serinakaker

November 8, 2017December 14, 2021 Barbara

Maybe I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve been searching for decades for a cookie recipe like the plain, crumbly sugar cookies my paternal grandma always had on hand. I shouldn’t really call them a sugar cookie, because if there was … Continue reading In Search of My Grandma’s Cookies: Serinakaker

Apple Strudel with Apple Jam and Pecan Streusel

October 17, 2017 Barbara

I’ve separated the instructions into three separate recipes. I’ve been away cooking for other people, but I’m back now and continuing the strudel idea. My last post was a tomato strudel with some of my tomato jam. What I never … Continue reading Apple Strudel with Apple Jam and Pecan Streusel

Another Ricotta Muffin: Coconut and Chocolate Chunk

August 23, 2017 Barbara

Unlike my last muffins, these are quite sweet. I seem to be in the habit of using up leftover ricotta in desserts, whether they be cakes or muffins, and I’m fine with that. Last weekend, I made my Ricotta-Velveeta® Mac … Continue reading Another Ricotta Muffin: Coconut and Chocolate Chunk

Tropical Ricotta Muffins

July 7, 2017August 21, 2017 Barbara

Calling these muffins tropical was easier than putting all the ingredients in the title, and I figure anything with coconut can be called tropical. Besides ricotta, the ingredients that flavor these muffins are dried apricots, flaked coconut, and roasted almonds. … Continue reading Tropical Ricotta Muffins

Sparkling Snickerdoodles

April 25, 2017 Barbara

Another recipe from my old Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book, it is probably much like one you have used. I made only two changes: I used all butter instead of the recommended “part” and I used decorating sugar instead … Continue reading Sparkling Snickerdoodles

Coconut Tapioca Pudding

March 30, 2017November 13, 2017 Barbara

In this variation on tapioca pudding recipes, I use all coconut milk and do not bother with soaking the tapioca first. Neither do I use a double boiler—not a fan of double boilers. Continue reading Coconut Tapioca Pudding
