Scalloped Potato Gratin

November 22, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

This Scalloped Potato Gratin is the perfect special dinner, ok, any dinner potato. It has everything I love; cream, potatoes, thyme, freshly grated nutmeg, and Gruyere cheese. They are so creamy and the flavors are intense! When I finally found a vintage gratin dish that I had been looking for such a long time, I…

Gingersnap Pudding Cake

November 10, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

Sweet warm spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice give this and many other baked goods their unmistakable aroma. I toasted the ground spices in a frying pan for a more complex flavor. I had leftover gingersnaps so I put them to good use by making this Gingersnap Pudding Cake. I used a soufflé dish…

Lemon Mousse

  I made this Lemon Mousse for friends after a PEI mussel meal (See Mussels with Chorizo recipe). I wanted something fresh and light. This was perfect! I have served it in individual martini glasses as well as a soufflé dish, both worked equally as well. In fact, we liked it so much that when…

Oatmeal Bread

October 27, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

  This Oatmeal Bread recipe is from my Great-Grandmother Helga Bjorge. My Mom reminded me about this bread, and I am so glad she did. It is so good while it is warm with butter, and it makes the best toast. When my great-grandmother made this bread there were measurements for most of it, except…

Gingersnaps

October 6, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews 2 Comments · Print recipe ·

I love these  homemade Gingersnaps. I like them soft on the inside and crispy around the edges. I like them with a cup of tea, I love them with a glass of milk, I especially like them in a snowstorm. The last time I made them, I was testing recipes with a dear friend. She…

Zucchini and Pine Nut Fritters

September 29, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

My favorite way to eat zucchini is in chocolate cake, but Zucchini and Pine Nut Fritters come in as my second favorite. The zucchini is grated raw, which preserves the fresh, green flavor. They are a lot like Potato Pancakes but with a softer interior, the fritters get their extra texture from the pine nuts…

Crepes with Orange Sauce

September 22, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

I have always loved crepes, sweet or savory. This Crepes with Orange Sauce recipe is one of my favorites. You can make the crepes ahead of time (the batter is better if it sits overnight in the refrigerator) and the orange sauce is really quick and easy. If you add a scoop of vanilla ice…

Parmesan Crisps

  The French approach to the aperitif hour is usually very simple. I took the same approach with this Parmesan Crisps recipe. There are only two ingredients in the recipe. A dear friend recommended this cookbook to me, it is “A French Approach on Southern Cooking”. I made these for a French meal that we…
