Strawberry Shortcake

June 30, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

I love these Strawberry Shortcakes. They are from” Sarabeth’s Good Morning Cookbook (Breakfast, Brunch, and Baking)” by Sarabeth Levine. Sarabeth’s spreadable fruit and marmalade has been one of my favorites for years, as well as her restaurants and her cookbooks. The shortcakes are light with a hint of orange, yet firm enough to hold the…

Grandma Harriet’s Quick Brownies

June 2, 2017 By Peter Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

Grandma Harriet’s Quick Brownies is one of the many treats she would make for us whenever we visited. We loved these so much! They are so delicious and so simple and quick to make. I love that they only bake for 15-20 minutes, and you put the frosting on them as soon as they come…

Lemon Roll

Where should I start?  I asked my Mom what she wanted me to make for Mother’s Day for Mead Meadow.  Mom thought about it and told me she wanted me to make the Lemon Roll that her Mother used to make.  This is where it gets interesting.  I wish I had paid better attention.  The…

I have always loved carrot cake. I have used many recipes over the years, so I took the best part of each one and made it even better. This Carrot Cake with White Chocolate – Cream Cheese Icing is very moist because of the mandarin oranges soaked in rum. I love cream cheese icing, but,…

Chocolate Ganache

March 9, 2017 By Angela Olson Matthews 1 Comment · Print recipe ·

    You will almost alway find a mason jar filled with Chocolate Ganache in our refrigerator.  Ganache is great to have on hand  for an impromptu dessert. The higher quality chocolate you use, the smoother your ganache will be. For this particular batch we used a Lindt 70% Dark Smooth bar that you can…

Almond Cake with Amaro

It is made using over 40 herbs, including vanilla and orange peels, bottled at 23%vol. The Amaro was first produced by Stanislao Cobianchi in 1885 and is named after Princess Elena of Montenegro. So, this is my…

Coeur à la Crème

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

I have always wanted to make Coeur à la Crème.  It is so beautiful on a plate.  The name means “hearts of cream”,  and I know it is not chocolate but it still seems perfect for Valentine’s Day.  I love that it is not sweet and a little bit tart.  It can easily be doubled…

Jelly Turnovers

December 9, 2016 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

My Mom reminded me that she made Jelly Turnovers for my High School Graduation Party. How lucky was I to have homemade turnovers made instead of a cake? Mom filled them with apricot jam, you can use any jam that you like. This recipe is from my Great-Grandmother, Helga Foss Bjorge. Delicious with coffee, tea…
