Kitchen DelishKeep it simple! Once you have mastered hard boiling eggs- pickled eggs and deviled eggs are only minutes away. We raise chickens, so fresh eggs are always on hand. Fresh eggs boil horribly- they need to be older eggs. I have a egg boiler- you prick each egg and place in the boiler and it’s […]
I actually had a special outlet designed in my kitchen just so I could make this icing. If you don’t have an outlet where you can plug in the mixer next to the stove- find an extension cord. I’ve done that too. You need a double boiler or you’ll have to rig up something similar. […]
This has been for decades the favorite family cake. Everyone requests mom make it for their birthday. It’s topped with SeaFoam icing- a brown sugar, egg white mixture. I cannot even PRETEND I can make it as well as mom. Back in the day, we had to walk softly, so the cake would rise properly. […]
Every family should have something that passes from generation to generation. I watched my grandma make these buns. I hope she watched her grandma make these buns too. When we were kids, in the 60’s, almost every summer included a road trip to Pennsylvania to visit the relatives. These are memories I cherish- from watching […]
This recipe started it all. Yasmin asked for my hot carrot recipe. She shot a photo of her end results and I shot a photo of my “canned” results and so it began….. I have made hot carrots by the pound, by the 3 pounds, by the 5 pounds and even by the 25 pounds. […]
I have never come across anything like this recipe. My mom made these and I am not sure where she found this recipe. It has been modified over the years and it’s simple- and they disappear. If any leftover, heat up in the toaster oven to try to recreate that fresh baked texture. Mix a can […]
You can cook your pizza on a grill or in the oven. When it is 100 degrees out- you can almost cook it on the sidewalk. We have a deep love of pizza in this family. When my kids were younger we called it “pizza on the rug night” and it was almost always our […]
I was wondering what to do with those cute little habanero peppers from the garden and I found one great dip! Mix a box of cream cheese (8 ounces) with half cup of sour cream, half an envelope of onion soup mix, 2 green onions and a couple of habaneros in your food processor. Just […]
I love making pasta salad in the summer. It makes a good lunch or side dish. I usually make a large bowl- so cut this down if only serving a few people! Cook 2 boxes of rainbow pasta according to the box directions, drain, run cool water over pasta and chill. Steam a head of […]
If you are looking for a quick addition to a tailgate party or any summer picnic- think about making a 7 layer dip. Of course, I start with homemade refried beans- but you can buy a couple large cans of Rosarito or your favorite brand instead. And you can get an disposable aluminum pan so […]
