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

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

Creamy Walleye Scramble, For One

August 18, 2018January 27, 2021 Barbara

I may never eat scrambled eggs again without cream cheese! Even though the fillets were small at less than 3 oz, each, two were too many for me, and three eggs was too much. Still, I persevered 😉 Continue reading Creamy Walleye Scramble, For One

Roasting the Sides

March 8, 2018 Barbara

Yesterday was just another hamburger day, but the sides made it more than ordinary—roasted spaghetti squash and onion straws. Usually I roast this kind of squash in halves, cut side down in an inch of water for a half hour, … Continue reading Roasting the Sides

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

Ricotta-Velveeta® Mac ‘n Cheese

June 26, 2017December 28, 2021 Barbara

You can never have too many mac and cheese recipes. Sometimes you might be in the mood for a sharp cheddar or a nutty Gruyere or even a little blue, but you just about always want a creamy texture, not … Continue reading Ricotta-Velveeta® Mac ‘n Cheese

Mexican Venison Chorizo and Potato Tacos

May 13, 2017 Barbara

Even though we still occasionally eat cheese, with the help of those lactase pills, I don’t use it as much anymore, looking for ways to eat the kinds of things we like without it. I had some venison chorizo in … Continue reading Mexican Venison Chorizo and Potato Tacos

Venison Empanadas

February 4, 2017August 6, 2017 Barbara

This recipe makes eight large empanadas—I’m freezing four for later—but you could easily make smaller, snack-sized empanadas. I used half venison and half ground beef in the filling, but you could substitute any other ground meat combination, or even a … Continue reading Venison Empanadas

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

Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies

January 16, 2017 Barbara

This cookie is pretty much like your favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie, but with dried cherries and pecans. I have both unsweetened dried Bing cherries and unsweetened dried tart Montmorency cherries; either would make a good cookie, but with all … Continue reading Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies

Venison Lasagna Bolognese

December 11, 2016May 16, 2017 Barbara

The first dish from the buck my husband harvested this fall. This lasagna is a tale of two sauces—a bolognese ragù and béchamel. Neither sauce is difficult to make and the ragù in particular can be made the day or … Continue reading Venison Lasagna Bolognese
