German-Style Iced Coffee or “Eiskaffee”
On a hot afternoon like today, I wish I could head back to my German hometown and stop by the local ice cream place for an “Eiskaffee”. It’s a sweet, delicious take on iced coffee. It’s quick and easy to make and the end result is more of a sweet treat than a beverage. Perfect […]
Continue readingHomemade Zucchini Bread Recipe
One of the kid-friendliest ways to use up a bunch of zucchini is to “hide” it in a yummy breakfast bread like the one below. If you don’t tell them, they’ll never know it’s got a nice serving of vegetables right inside the warm loaf of yummy breakfast bread. My husband even went so far […]

My neighbor down the road is a big gardener. He’s gotten a much earlier start this year than we did … Plus I guess it helps that he actually knows what he’s doing. We stopped by earlier today to talk about plants and how to best take care of our tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, zucchini and […]

You know that I love my cast iron skillets. I won’t bake up cornbread in anything else, but they are useful for so many other cooking jobs as well. Once you’ve built up a nice bit of coating on them, they cook better than any non-stick pan. Today I’d like to share my recipe for […]

Continue readingHomemade Creole Seasoning
I love making my own seasoning mixes. Not only do they allow me to tweak things to my family’s liking, I can also make sure all ingredients are fresh and of course it’s a lot cheaper to mix your own than to buy prepared mixes. This creole seasoning mix couldn’t be simpler. It’s great for […]
Continue readingHam and Leek Pie
Each Easter, I buy and bake a big ham. We eat part of it during our Holiday Meal, but the part I get excited about is all the leftovers. The ham bones is of course reserved to make a big pot of pinto beans down the road, but it doesn’t end there. You can add […]
Continue readingHomemade Vanilla Chai Tea Mix
I love Chai Tea and used to spend a small fortune at my local coffee shop. Next I found some premade mix at the grocery store, but it got quite pricey as well. After some experimentation, I came up with this mix that tastes even better than the store bought stuff. Adjust the sugar to […]

Scrambled eggs are a staple at my house, but every once in a while I’m ready to mix things up, particularly when I have vegan friends staying over. Tofu is a great alternative and makes for a yummy scramble. My favorite part is that this dish is so versatile. You can serve it on toasted […]
