This past weekend our 25 year old “baby” made a bowl of a heavenly Avocado Salsa that was awesome. I said, “See, this is the benefit of allowing the children in the kitchen… they grow up to be great cooks!” This reminded me of a post first published on my blog One Generation to Another, …
It seems like the autumn winds are finally picking up, pushing the last of summer into our memories. It’s a magical time of year, when you can gather pumpkins, watch flocks of geese flying south, and gather bouquets of colored leaves to bring indoors. And what could be better when you come in from an …
Over the last couple weeks we have had our share of this nasty heat wave. We came home from the cool mountains of Vermont to sweltering heat and humidity. Of course, the heat helped ripened the all the berries a bit early and we were left to pick in the worst of the heat. We …
Every family has their favorite traditional foods they make for Christmas. In Michelle’s house, Christmas breakfast always includes a birthday cake for Baby Jesus. Although pancake men are not a part of our holiday celebration, the children enjoyed them just the same 🙂 In the book Christmas in the Big Woods, “For Christmas breakfast Ma …
Make sure to read this all the way through. There is a special invitation after the recipe! I often mention that the family has dinner at our house every Sunday. As a matter of fact, we start by having bagels at 12, then dinner at 4. There are usually 12 for dinner unless we have company. …
I first shared this post on my original blog, One Generation to Another back on October 30, 2007. Sometimes after I’ve wiped down the “stickies” in the kitchen after the grandbabies have been helping me, I like to reread this post. I always smile. I hope it speaks to you, too. One of the greatest gifts my …
As soon as the weather gets remotely nice, we move as much of our living outdoors as possible. This means more walk-abouts and backyard picnics. When my children were growing up, Apple Stackers were one of their favorite snacks. They could help me make them, and they were great to take on-the-go. (Note: After slicing your apple, keep the apple …
Yesterday I made Cream Cheese Pound Cake for dessert. It has long been one of our family’s favorite. Rich and delicious, you can serve it with a glaze or with fruit, but it is plenty yummy all by itself. This recipe can be rather finicky and it is time consuming, but trust me, once you’ve …
We when got home from the Sugar Bush we decided that we needed to make our own Maple Sugar Candy. But I think I should point out, I am not a candy maker… in general I just don’t have the patience for it. Sugar can be a tricky beast ;). I’m guessing some of you more experience …
A recycled blog is just the thing for a… gulp… Tuesday! First published at One Generation To Another, February 12, 2008. I’m not a fan of Tuesdays…never have been…never will be. To me Tuesdays are like having something wedged between two teeth. It serves no purpose and is exceedingly annoying. Tuesdays are too far away …
For dinner this past Sunday I made Chicken Enchiladas, Spanish Rice, Cornbread Casserole, and Guacamole. It is one of my family’s favorites. It reminded of a post I had written for One Generation to Another, March 25, 2008. Given the fact that I’m still under the weather (but feeling much better, and I attribute my …
Several weeks ago I asked for special chicken soup recipes. I got a few, plus I got this email from Meghan, at A Bolder Table, with a recipe… not for chicken soup, but for another soup that sounded too delicious to pass up. When I went shopping the other day, I bought everything I need …
