What I Don’t Know About Brownies. . . .

April 16, 2016April 16, 2016 Barbara

What I don’t know or understand about brownies could fill a cookbook. I have no interest in eating one, and I have never received high marks for the ones I’ve made. Looking at a brief comparison of four recipes shows … Continue reading What I Don’t Know About Brownies. . . .

Peanut Butter Pecan Cookies

April 1, 2016April 17, 2016 Barbara

With the addition of coconut oil as the shortening, the cookies have a slight coconut flavor, but they retain the classic texture of a peanut butter cookie—a little sandy, a little crisp, a little chewy. The chopped pecans are a … Continue reading Peanut Butter Pecan Cookies

We like butternut squash roasted in chunks until they brown on the edges, or mashed with butter and salt, and especially in butternut squash risotto. Today I figured it was time for something else, and I wondered how difficult it … Continue reading Savory Butternut Squash Soufflé

Buttermilk Bran Muffins

February 8, 2016September 3, 2017 Barbara

I suppose you’ve seen the Molasses Ginger cookies featured on my home page, and maybe I’ve said that oatmeal-raisin are my all-time favorite cookie, so it should come as no surprise that bran muffins with molasses and raisins are my … Continue reading Buttermilk Bran Muffins

Ginger Half-Pound Cake

January 20, 2016 Barbara

Because a whole pound of butter and two loaves is just too much for us. This is the second pound cake I’ve posted here. The first was one from Michael Ruhlman, which we ate with a grilled peach compote. Very … Continue reading Ginger Half-Pound Cake

Lake Erie Walleye Cakes

August 31, 2015July 28, 2020 Barbara

My husband used to go out on Lake Erie and furnish us with lots of walleye every year, but he got tired of that type of fishing (trolling) and mostly of cleaning fish. Luckily, we still have a friend who … Continue reading Lake Erie Walleye Cakes

Peaches and Cream Pie

August 5, 2015 Barbara

My old Betty Crocker says that you can make either an apple pie or a blueberry pie “Dutch” by pouring a little heavy cream into the filling, either before you put the top crust on your blueberry pie, or 15 … Continue reading Peaches and Cream Pie
