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.
Hawaiian Haystacks
Are Hawaiian Haystacks, Hawaiian? NOPE! In general "haystacks" refers to a meal where you pile everything into one bowl stacked on top of each other. For example, when I married my husband I was surprised/confused when they said they were making "haystacks" but really...
Butterbeer Cookies
Ah Harry Potter...he has brought us so much magic...and one of those magical things is BUTTERBEER. Oh to be able to sit down at The Three Broomsticks and taste it for the first time. These Butterbeer Cookies continue the magic. Buttery cookies with butterscotch chips...
Beef Stew
Thick hearty Beef Stew is such an American staple and was often served in my home as a girl. And my mom, Colleen Mott, made THE BEST. She served hers with homemade whole wheat bread. Oh the smells that emanated from my Mom's kitchen. I wish I had a picture of my mom...
Apple Pandowdy
Apple Pandowdy was popular in Colonial America and was Abigail Adam's favorite dessert. As the first resident of the White House (with her husband John) it was served there regularly. The apples are baked in a rich, sticky syrup originally made with molasses. I use...
Greek Chicken Bowls
I love a buffet supper or BOWL. Bowls are very trendy right now. There are even several chain restaurants that cater to this trend. I gotta be honest, I LOVE a bowl! They are perfect for a family meal because everyone builds their own, and you get to choose what is...
Easy Apple Fritters
Apple Fritters are pretty dang wonderful. As a little girl any time I had an opportunity to choose a pastry, I always went with an apple fritter. Here's the surprise: these are REALLY EASY! And I promise you they may well be the best you've ever had! It's really...
Peaches with Burrata on Toast
One last peach recipe before the end of September. We love this mix of sweet and savory that is a perfect appetizer, brunch, breakfast or lunch! Yesterday I had 23 people over for our first Autumn Porch Supper of the season. Peaches & Burrata on toast was the...
Peaches & Cream Croissant Pudding
My friends know that bread pudding is one of my Greatest Weaknesses. A second weakness, or maybe it's a strength? - Is Peaches! I've been working on combining these two and what has come of it might be my most favorite recipe of all time. I go to sleep dreaming of...
Goulash
This is the American version of Goulash, which is quite different from the Hungarian version (...more like a stew). And it is COMFORT FOOD at it's best, AND the best leftovers EVER! And best of all...it's SO EASY! I like to use ground turkey, but any ground meat will...
Rhubarb Custard Pie
We feel like rhubarb is a polarizing food. It seems that people either love it or hate it. We both LOVE it! This pie is an old family recipe and one of our favorites. I always think of it as my mom's recipe, but I know she thinks of it as her mom's recipe. I am not...
