When you’re craving some good old comfort food, it’s time to whip up a batch of Meemaw’s Meatballs! I have made meatballs with our grandkids almost before they could walk. (These little girls were almost too small to see over the edge of the table during this lesson!) Creating those little balls […]
CABBAGE Either Roasted Or Raw…It’s A Winner
Cabbage is a much maligned vegetable. Some people say it’s just too stinky while it cooks…and if it’s boiled I totally agree! But I say those folks need to try some new ways to serve that lowly old cruciferous veggie…and cabbage just might become one of their go-to veggies when dinnertime rolls around. I think […]
Iced Sugar Cookies 2017…My Valentine Tradition Lives On
I can still remember the feeling of searching through a box of Valentine cards and spending hours deciding which card was right for each of my classmates. And in my case that consisted of everyone in the whole school! Sixty years ago I attended a one room country school in the heart of Amish country in […]

Taco Casserole…A Perfect “Thrown Together” Dish
Have you ever made a meal strictly out of whatever ingredients you have in your cupboard, refrigerator and freezer? Sometimes even I don’t feel like spending hours in the kitchen. (I know…that’s hard to believe, isn’t it?) And sometimes a last minute trip to the grocery store is more than this old Meemaw can stomach. […]

When you’re looking for a simple main course to serve to company…this salmon dish will allow YOU to sit down with your guests and enjoy your own party! That’s my only pet peeve when entertaining. I hate to be in the kitchen while all of my guests are somewhere else. And if I choose a […]
Soup 101 And Meemaw’s Italian Sausage Veggie Soup
I’ve been making soup for more than 50 years. In fact, here I am in high school…stirring a pot of chili for a fundraising event! Many people have asked me “How do you go about creating all of your original soup recipes?” So today I will try to answer that question, and I’ll also share […]
Try My Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting
Ideas for my blog posts sometimes come to me in crazy ways…like today. This coconut tree next door was my inspiration. (Yup…a coconut tree!) This was a gorgeous morning here in the Sunshine State, and I walked out on our deck to sip my coffee and to soak up some rays as I thought about […]
Apple Cream Pie…It’s As Simple As Pie Can Be!
Sometimes I like to spend hours puttering around in my kitchen. But sometimes I don’t feel like creating a dish with tons of ingredients and enough preparation steps to resemble the assembly of a piece of IKEA furniture! Sometimes I want SIMPLE. And that brings me to the amazing recipes to be found in the Four […]
Acorn Squash…Roasted…With A Twist!
Acorn squash has always been a favorite Fall and Winter vegetable for me. And yesterday I couldn’t help but stare at that green orb I had been ignoring on my kitchen counter for weeks. I bought an acorn squash soon after we arrived at our winter home, and I kept forgetting to include it in […]
