Food * Family * Fun
A mother and daughter sharing our best food, and our secrets to living the happy life with the goal of helping us all create a stronger family unit.
Dill Bread
Dill Bread is one of my favorite things to bake! I know, that might sound strange, but I have good reasons. 1. This is my husband's, grandma's recipe. It reminds me of her. She used to make it to go with soup and we would eat it after a long day of driving to visit...
Autumn Porch Supper
We are not sure how or where the idea of an Autumn Porch Supper came to be. It makes perfect sense though. Autumn is the ideal time of year to enjoy a meal outside. It has cooled down, the harvest is happening and the seasonal foods just seem to fit perfectly....
Classic Apple Crisp
I always thought that Apple Crisp was an OLD classic recipe. Like too old to be vintage. Like early American/Colonial times. Or maybe even sooner! BUT I was WRONG! The first time it was ever mentioned in print was in 1924! It didn't really move to the forefront in...
Snickers Salad
I don't know who created Snicker's Salad but I think they must have quite the imagination! What an idea! It seems to be quite a favorite in some circles and always a favorite at any party or potluck. It's very simple. Start by whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar...
Apple Crumble Cake
When I was a kid my family camped a lot. My mom used to make this in a Dutch oven and "baked it" by sitting it on hot coals and placing more on top. Camping by Swan Lake in the woods and smelling this bake is a wonderful core memory for me. This is a sorta-kinda dump...
Indian Pudding
Indian Pudding is a traditional dish from New England that hails back to the days of the pilgrims. They called it Indian Pudding then and that's what they still call it. It is an essential part of Thanksgiving dinner and everyone has their own special recipe! Some...
Maple & Balsamic Vinegar Brussel Sprouts
My family LOVES Brussel sprouts. We usually just drizzle with olive oil, add a little salt, pepper and garlic powder and roast in the oven. But this version is SO SPECIAL! The sprouts are roasted until crispy and then drizzled in a reduced glaze of balsamic vinegar,...
Apple Pie with a Butter Pastry Top
Here is a little secret, we (mom & I) do not love or even really like apple pie. It just isn't our favorite. We much prefer an apple crisp or apple cake or other apple delicious treats. BUT, there was one magical day when I had a little mini apple pie served to me...
Rosemary Pork Loin
Years ago I was in a dinner club. We were in teams of 2 and once a year each pair would take a turn to host a really nice dinner party for the rest of the group. It was a BLAST and to this day I have lasting friendships with those girls and also tons of recipes I got...
Tortellini Ceasar Salad
Last summer I was invited to an evening potluck/garden party with a bunch of girlfriends to celebrate our friend who had just had her yard landscaping done. I was asked to bring a salad. I was just BORED with all my salads. It was August, and I had been making and...
