Sour Cream Carrot Breakfast Muffins

July 9, 2017 Barbara

I know it seems too soon to post another muffin recipe, but the Tropical Muffins are gone, because my husband was eating them two and three at a time. Well, these are not so sweet, with only half the sugar, … Continue reading Sour Cream Carrot Breakfast Muffins

Spicy Grilled Ground Meat Kebabs

July 7, 2017 Barbara

I’m always looking for ways to change up the old grilled hamburger in the summer, like tonight for example when I made meatloaf burgers. They made a better version of a meatloaf sandwich, more tender than a regular hamburger and … Continue reading Spicy Grilled Ground Meat Kebabs

Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken

May 17, 2017 Barbara

My favorite way to use the slow cooker is on the high setting, where I can count on meats not being dried out and flavorless. That’s what I find happens when you cook meat for 8-10 hours while you are … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken

Pecan Sandies

January 21, 2017 Barbara

We used to love the popular commercial version of this cookie, but they changed the recipe years ago, like so many other popular foods did, and ruined them. This recipe comes pretty close to what we remember, and it doesn’t … Continue reading Pecan Sandies

Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Muffins

December 6, 2016 Barbara

This is a merging of two recipes in my old Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book (1961): “Cranberry-Orange Muffins” (p. 88) and “Oatmeal Muffins” (p. 90). The recipes are so similar in amounts of ingredients, that it didn’t take much … Continue reading Oatmeal Cranberry Walnut Muffins

Raisin Filled Biscuit Bars

November 3, 2016 Barbara

I love a raisin filled cookie, but am not crazy about the process of rolling out and cutting the dough in circles and carefully filling them. I didn’t see why I couldn’t make them as a filled bar, kind of … Continue reading Raisin Filled Biscuit Bars

Walleye for You, Steelhead Trout for Me

September 22, 2016August 22, 2017 Barbara

Ted brought back a steelhead trout the last time he was out fishing for walleye on Lake Erie, even though he wants no part of eating salmon or their cousins—he says they’re fishy, but I think he probably just had … Continue reading Walleye for You, Steelhead Trout for Me

Carne Asada with Skirt Steak, Pt. 1

July 9, 2016 Barbara

Yes, I finally found skirt steak at the grocery, so I’m trying out the Serious Eats recipe, mostly because the marinade/salsa looks so tasty. Luckily there are just two of us and the little under-1 lb package will do. Even … Continue reading Carne Asada with Skirt Steak, Pt. 1

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Bread

April 10, 2016April 13, 2016 Barbara

I’m taking my go-to banana bread recipe and making a few changes—tasty changes, I hope: Instead of 2 cups of all purpose flour, I’m using 1 cup of that with 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of … Continue reading Whole Wheat Oatmeal Banana Bread

New Gadget, Same Pulled Pork

April 3, 2016May 15, 2017 Barbara

I had a nice Cuisinart slow cooker for a long time, but the removable crock got a hairline crack, and eventually it leaked badly into the cooker. I don’t use a slow cooker very often, especially now that I’m retired … Continue reading New Gadget, Same Pulled Pork

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

Maple Pecan Pie

March 23, 2016March 24, 2016 Barbara

A hunting friend with a farm and a sugar shack (a lucky friend) gave us some of his maple syrup, so I decided to make this pie with a cup of it. There are a lot of recipes for maple … Continue reading Maple Pecan Pie
