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…

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…

Christmas Sugar Cookies

This is the second time I have made these delicious Christmas Sugar Cookies with my dear friend Cindy. This recipe was her Mother-in-Law’s and is from The 1896 Boston Cooking School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer. They are so easy to make and fun to roll out with kids or friends for Christmas. This…

Christmas Cranberry Cake

December 16, 2016 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

  This Cranberry Cake was our favorite cake for Christmas. Even if you don’t like cranberries, you will love this. The sauce is served warm over the cake, and no one will be able to resist it! It looks and tastes like Christmas. The cake is tart but the topping is sweet, a little goes…

Thanksgiving Tablescape

November 23, 2016 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

This is our 2016 Thanksgiving tablescape at Mead Meadow. I created it using everything I already have, with the exception of the white and orange pumpkins. I love creating a new look, mixing the things I have collected over the years to create a unique setting. I will admit to you that my tablecloth is a…

Sausage Herb Stuffing

November 18, 2016 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

  This Sausage Herb Stuffing is another recipe from Grandma Toots. I have it hand written in my book, there are no measurements, just ingredients.  I taste tested these amounts and it tastes just like Grandma’s did. Isn’t it interesting how much the smells and the taste of food reminds us of our childhood? I chop…

No Cook Cranberry Orange Relish

November 11, 2016 By Angela Olson Matthews Leave a Comment · Print recipe ·

  I make this No Cook Cranberry Orange Relish for Thanksgiving every year, no matter where I am. It is fresh, and as tart as you want it to be (less sugar, more tart). The color is beautiful on the table and I like it so much better than the canned cranberry sauce, no offense…
