Many people have asked me to share some gluten free recipes here on Meemaw Eats. But since I have no experience with that type of cooking I have been hesitant to pass along recipes that are not “tried and true…and taste tested by me.” A gluten free diet is helpful for anyone who suffers from […]
New Friends, A Kosher Kitchen, And “A Chelluva Challah Bread” Recipe
Good friends can sometimes slip out of our lives, but when they slip back in it’s a wonderful thing. And that’s what happened when I reconnected with my friend Jane. (Unfortunately we lost touch years ago after our kids grew up and we stopped attending school events together.) After a chance encounter at an outdoor […]
Kids In The Kitchen – A Wonderful Place Where Memories Are Made
The kitchen, ANY kitchen, is my Happy Place. And that place makes me even happier if kids are in the kitchen with me. It’s easy to find tasks for kids to do, no matter how young they are. I simply look for age appropriate tasks such as crushing corn flakes when we make our own […]
Delaney’s Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes – With A Splash Of Apple Cider
Once Autumn arrives, some people get a little carried away with pumpkin. I’ve seen pumpkin added to almost everything!

Fried Cornmeal Mush – My Childhood Winter Breakfast Revisited
Mush. When you hear that word, what comes to mind? A dogsled race? An overcooked vegetable? I’ve told you before how smells and tastes of food can trigger long forgotten memories, and for me that word “Mush” brings back some wonderful childhood memories. Memories of waking up on a frigid Iowa winter morning, curled up […]
Dirt Pudding – A Classic Kid’s Dessert From The 1970’s That’s Still A Home Run
Dirt Pudding? Please let me explain. In the 1970s our boys lived on baseball fields. And when they weren’t playing “for real” they would assemble backyard teams of friends for wiffle ball tournaments that would go on until darkness forced them to quit. They would come home covered with dirt, and their hair soaked with […]
Update – Hurricane Irma Spared Our Snowbird Home…Our Hearts Go Out To Others
This will be a very short update on the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Two of our condo neighbors (Sarah and John) prepared our home for the storm and we will be forever grateful to them. Sarah put all flower pots inside to make sure there would be no projectiles flying in the wicked wind. And […]
Hurricane Irma – Will Flowers Still Exist After Today In Florida?
Flowers and Florida go hand in hand…and as we watch and wait for word of the destruction caused by Hurricane Irma I decided repost these photos I took after last Christmas. God only knows what our Snowbird home will look like by tomorrow night. I offer heartfelt prayers for everyone in Irma’s deadly path. Christmas […]
Floating, Fishing, Food and FUN! We did it ALL…With Family!
FUN comes in many forms for our family, and our recent long weekend in Indy was filled with many kinds. And some of that fun even required WORMS! Our son and his family live in a wonderful neighborhood which includes their own neighborhood swimming pool as well as several beautiful ponds. Their kid-friendly home is […]
Baseball (and Sports In General) – Our Family’s Love Affair With Competition
Baseball (and competition in general) goes back generations in our family. And our recent trip to Indy got me thinking about the way sports can link one generation to the next. And the next. And now the NEXT! Peepaw and I both had relatives who played both college and even semi-pro sports, and I guess […]
