This Blood Orange Spread recipe is adapted from “Sarabeths’s Good Morning Cookbook” by Sarabeth Levine. Sara made a Mandarin Orange Spread, but I choose to use Blood Oranges since they are in season right now, and they are delicious and so beautiful. I, like Sara, peeled every white string from the oranges before separating the…
Grandma Harriet’s Orange Roll
This is my Grandma Harriet’s Orange Roll recipe and I just have to share it. The way that Grandma wrote the recipe was mostly just the ingredients. I did my best to create the steps that she knew by heart. They are thinly rolled, filled with sugar, butter and orange zest. No powdered sugar topping…
Irish Scones
I have tried many scone recipes, some are easier than others and some are more time consuming. This recipe for Irish Scones is so easy and very delicious. This is my adaptation of the recipe from Kerrygold, it is from a flyer from the Culinary conference that I attended. I just love that you can…
Waffles with White Sauce
These Waffles With White Sauce recipes are from two very dear friends, Sue and Kathy. Once you have made the waffles (the batter can also be used for pancakes), you will never buy a mix again. They are simple and delicious. The recipe is from Sue’s Mom and is a Troeger favorite. The White Sauce…
White Soda Bread
I was looking for an easy (non-yeast) Soda Bread to go with a Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner at our dear friend’s, Cindy and Nick. I was also making a bread pudding with dried fruits for dessert, and I wanted the bread to be simple, yet authentic. This White Soda Bread is so moist, so…
Corned Beef Hash
My Grandmother (Grandma Toots) was a fabulous cook, as a farm wife it was out of necessity. I remember one of the many favorite things that she would make was hash from leftover potatoes and roast beef. I always loved watching her grind the potatoes and roast beef. She used a grinder that attached to…
Puffed Pear Pancake
I have been making this Puffed Pear Pancake for years. It is one of our breakfast favorites! I started making it with apples and vanilla, but now I make it with pears and almond extract. I used a cast iron frying pan for this one, you can also use a 9 x 13 inch baking…
Scones with Cranberries and Orange Zest
They key to making scones puff up nicely lies in the butter. It’s ALL about the butter! Ideally, when you are working with the dough, you are on a cold surface and are able to work quickly enough so that the butter doesn’t start to melt. The minute you are done cutting, get them in the…
Soft Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon
When you want to make breakfast for 2 or 10, this Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon recipe is a winner. Peter, my husband, makes this recipe all of the time; it’s one of his specialities. The trick is to cook the eggs low and slow. You want to pull them off the heat before they set-up…
Rustic Blueberry Galette
I love making pies. The first thing I remember learning to make is pie dough. This is my go to recipe that takes less time than a pie. I make this when I want a rustic homemade dessert, that looks pretty, smells good, and is delicious. You can substitute peaches, sour cherries, apricots, apples…
