Mother’s Day Breakfast Idea: Tea Doughnuts ~What’s For Dinner Moms?
I love recipes like this. This recipe was given to me by mother who wrote it down from my grandmother (her mother-in-law). It has her abbreviations and no real instructions because, well, everyone just knows how to cook right? I love my mother’s recipe cards. They are stained and bent in places. The ones that […]…

A Gorgeous Vintage Apple Pudding Recipe by Sheryl of “A Hundred Years Ago”
I generally like old-fashioned fruit puddings, so I was pleased when I saw a recipe for Apple Pudding in a hundred-year-old cookbook.

Today’s delicious offering is from our friend Suzie who gathered it from her Grandmother who collected it from “her” Grandmother– it’s that memorable…

Today I’m bringing you the history behind pancakes and the best, fluffy, made from scratch recipe…ever! It’s said the origin of pancakes can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks who made a form of…

Pound cake got its name from its original recipe, dating back to 1796, which called for a pound each of butter, eggs, sugar, and flour.

Reflections: “Christmas I Knew” By The Co-Author of Our Cookbooks Ken Bayliss
If you have ever read, or seen the film of Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales you have an idea of my early version of Christmas. Growing up forty miles from him, and thirty three years after him, things were not too dissimilar. The coal fire, glowing red and encouraged by my father for…
Southern Smothered Chicken Breasts with Onion Gravy & Food Facts of the Old South
This week’s recipes will be dedicated to the Rich South where regional cuisine developed local food supplies and blended with the varied cultural backgrounds of its cooks.
