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…
Raspberry Sauce
I made this sauce for a Sunday Sundae party for a friend. My friend said the Raspberry Sauce was her favorite because it was so unique. It can be used for cheesecakes, pound cakes, pancakes, and ice cream too! I reduced the sugar from my original recipe and added fresh lemon juice and cognac at the end. The…
Pound Cake Kabobs – Chocolate Ganache
I was planning a party on the boat and wanted to make a special dessert for family and friends. I made everything ahead of time so all I had to do was put the pound cake kabobs together and put them on the grill. If you like pound cake, if you like bananas, this is like a…
Mocha Bars
I know this may seem like a very different kind of recipe, but, it is easy and it tastes amazing. The crunch of the peanuts, the texture of the angel food cake, the almond flavor from the maraschino cherry juice, creates a flavor that is such a memory from my childhood. My Grandmother, Lois (Toots), who…
Peanut Butter Blossom Cookie
I have been making this recipe for more years than I would like to admit. In fact, my recipe book is falling apart from so many years of use, and I no longer recognize my own handwriting. Despite the state of the book, the family never fails to ask for these cookies and they…

This is one of my favorite make ahead breakfasts! I always try to have the ingredients on hand. This is great for a family gathering, and the best part is that you can prepare the meat ingredients the night before and finish the egg bake in the morning. When you try this recipe, you will be amazed…

What happens when you go to Barnes and Noble and sit on the floor in the cookbook section? You meet Cindy K. We started talking about food, the Mead Meadow website, and how much we love to cook and share recipes. The result is a recipe Cindy K and I made together. It was one of…
Black Olive Salsa
Black Olive Salsa is a great impromptu salsa that only takes a few minutes to prepare. Because it is one of our favorite appetizers, I always try to keep the ingredients on hand. At Mead Meadow, this is lovingly known as “Dana’s Salsa”. Our dear friend and neighbor, Dana, introduced us to this delicious appetizer….
Anna’s Banana Bread
Our very special Granddaughter, Anna, is visiting us at Mead Meadow. Anna loves banana bread and we wanted to make one of her favorite things together. We chose banana bread because everyone calls her Anna Banana. She told me to tell everyone she really doesn’t like bananas, but, there is one…
Basil Pesto
Pesto has so many uses and it is so easy to make, I love to have it on hand. I frequently buy a little extra basil so I can make pesto and freeze it. This recipe is another great one from my dear friend Joan. Many years ago, Joan gave me this recipe on a…
