Meringue Cookies

These are great for Christmas. But why only have them once a year? They are so easy.

There is something to the myth about making meringue on a sunny high pressure day. It just works better and doesn’t take as long. I double this recipe in my large Kitchen Aid mixer. I get better results if [...]

Elegant Lemon French Toast

Why is it that when I am having “issues” with my picky eaters, I come up with some really yummy ideas?

Try this for Sunday brunch. It’s Wednesday. I had it for breakfast. Why wait for Sunday?

Creamed Corn Casserole

Mom, sisters and me all provided hot meats, ice, charcoal, buns etc. Everybody who came brought a dish to share and a bottle of soda. There was Italian beef, [...]

My Oatmeal Cookies

I’m not sure of the origin or this recipe, but I’ve tweaked it over the years. This is how I make them. I think they are Scott’s favorites. The dough keeps well in the fridge. I make a 1/2 doz at a time. Warm cookies and milk for breakfast? Why not? And never, ever, eat [...]
