For years, I’ve used a recipe from the August/September 1998, Taste of Home magazine, called “South Carolina Cobbler.” But it didn’t take long to know the recipe called for too much sugar for our tastes. I’ve revised it over the years until it fits a 9×13 baking dish and uses less sugar. I also added […]
…It’s jam every other day. So said the White Queen, but we have enough jam for every single day! I made strawberry jam last week, and plan to make more tomorrow. Strawberries are cheap right now. Aren’t they pretty? All it took was a couple of pulses in the food processor and the strawberries were […]
This is a recipe I used to make a lot. It fell by the wayside for a few years, but we’ve resurrected it this year. It makes wonderful soft rolls, as well as buns that are great for sandwiches. It makes 48 rolls, or three loaves (we rarely make loaves anymore), or 24 rolls and […]
Making pizza dough is so easy that we have long since given up store-bought, delivery and take-out pizza. Store bought pizza seems so very salty to us, too, so we are glad to give it up for home made. Give this a try. It’s easy and delicious! The recipe can easily be doubled if you’re […]
I looked all over the internet and did not find a recipe for this soup that my mom made during my childhood. So I’m putting it out there. We loved it as kids. And it’s easy to make. It never really had a name. We just called it “that potato and hamburger soup with the […]

If we do buy store-bought, it’s because we have a house full of company and that’s what they prefer. (Hard to believe, but there are some people out there who do not know what they’re missing!) […]
I concocted this recipe years ago, when my four older children were in school. I was making peanut butter cookies one day and didn’t want to take a long time to cook them, so I put the whole batch on the cookie sheet and baked them. After they cooled, I thought they’d be better with […]
Our French exchange student made Quiche Lorraine twice for us. Her mother is from Lorraine, France, and the quiche is a family specialty. The pastry is a mixture of flour, butter, and water. Beautiful! She made the quiche much thinner than the quiches I am used to. We all loved it! Delicious! Sooo good! We’ve […]
