  • Brigittine Monks Fudge

    Quite a few years ago my mother-n-law and I were watching a special on the Brigittine Monk’s.

  • Suppli al Telefono: Deep-Fried Rice and Cheese Balls

    Thrift stores are the best places to find books especially cookbooks. This recipe comes from an Italian cookbook put out by time magazine. I also found one for French cuisine and German. Making cheese balls really takes patience. It can be quite messy and somewhat difficult to work with but the end result is something…

  • Freemont Texas Hot Artichoke Dip

    I am trying to remember who gave me this recipe. All I remember is my friend Jonelle and I devoured a whole loaf of french bread eating this stuff. The recipe did call for more mayo but I found it to be too salty and tasted to much like mayonnaise. 1 can marinated artichokes, drained…

  • Chicken Enchiladas With Red Sauce

    I learned how to make enchiladas from Dora Osoria in Baybrook Texas. I took the method of making enchiladas from Dora and the Red Enchilada Sauce from Allrecipes. Some comments say the sauce tastes like marinara sauce. But I am not a fan of the stuff at the restaurants anyway. I like more flavor less…

  • Stone Soup: The Basics of Making Soups

    ,

    My sister recently sent an email with a recipe she created using ingredients from her pantry. It just so happened “stone soup” was on our menu that night. So, it got me thinking about how easy it is to whip up a simple, good for you, quick pot of soup. Mason and I read the…

  • Bacon, Apple & Cheddar Breakfast Panini

    One day I received a Williams Sonoma catalog in the mail. I love the recipes included in the catalog as much as I enjoy looking at the great kitchen gadgets. One recipe I pulled out was for a steak and egg panini. The recipe lay dormant in my cookbook cabinet because I did not have…
