Just check out the four simple ingredients you may already have in your pantry and refrigerator. If you’re a regular reader of my blog you know about the […]
Watergate Cookies – Another Blast From The Past
Watergate. For me, that word conjures up more than a political firestorm. We’re talking salad and cake and…cookies! Back in the 1970’s Watergate dishes were all the rage. And our little boys never met a cookie they didn’t like. Take this photo, for instance. I sure wish I knew what little Nick was thinking at […]
Make My Lilac Sugar Cookies with a Lilac Vanilla Glaze
It’s lilac season here in the Heartland. But I bet most of you have no idea how tasty those lilac flowers can be! If you’ve followed my blog for awhile you may remember a lilac and corn meal cookie I made several years ago. I was about to whip up another batch this year but […]
Get Rest; A Field That Has Rested Gives A Bountiful Crop – Ovid
Ahhh…REST. It was time for me, and the Roman poet, Ovid, said it best. “Get Rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.” As many of you know, I spent the months of November and December in a whirlwind of activity. I worked with a wonderful computer guru to add another layer of […]
Blog Updates…and THE BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Hello My Dear Meemaw Eats Blog Readers! I’m in the process of arranging an update to the “guts” of my blog. (That’s MY technical term for it.)

Chewy Coconut Oatmeal Dishpan Cookies
A dishpan full of cookie dough? Allow me to explain. It may surprise you to know that baking is NOT my favorite activity. (I would much rather cook than bake.) So when I decide to make cookies I refuse to use a recipe that makes only a dozen or two. If I’m making a mess […]
Lolo’s Chocolate Cookies – A Double Chocolate Delight!
Lolo quickly showed off her baking skills as we kicked off GrandCamp 2018. She was busy in our kitchen almost before she finished unpacking her suitcase. It wasn’t long before the intoxicating smell of baking chocolate was wafting through the house. She couldn’t wait to share her chocolate cookie recipe with her old Meemaw, and […]

Mother Nature pulled a fast one this year. It seemed as if Spring would NEVER arrive. But I’m patiently waiting for our lilacs to bloom this year so I can whip up a batch (or many) of these delicious Lilac Cornmeal Cookies! You see, last year our lilacs were nearly FINISHED blooming when we headed […]
Rhubarb Coconut Raisin Pecan Cookies (Whew! That’s A YUMMY Mouthful!)
Cookies and rhubarb are not usually mentioned in the same sentence…but recently I found an absolutely delicious way to combine those two words into a treat I’ll be happy to serve to anyone who happens to drop by for a visit. (But you’d better come over quick before they’re gone!) You see, rhubarb holds a […]
When Lilacs Bloom…Make Lilac Cornmeal Cookies! (These Cookies Are DELISH!)
Our return to Iowa was just in time to enjoy our blooming lilacs, so I headed to our back yard to pick some…and the fragrance of that beautiful lilac bouquet was the perfect “Welcome Home” to the Heartland!
