Pumpkin Pie No. 2

I have made probably hundreds of pumpkin pies over the years. They all usually follow the same vein. Same basic spices, same basic ingredients.This recipe was no different with regards to the taste. It tasted like a pumpkin pie.The biggest difference in this recipe was cooking the pumpkin first. I h...

Pineapple Cream Dressing

I used this recipe for my Fruit Salad Supreme I talked about yesterday.The recipe makes a lot of dip. Way more than I used to fill my pineapple shell.Starting with the egg yolks and sugar, you get a nice and thick curd like mixture. The lemon and pineapple juice combine well to give this curd the pe...

Fruit Salad Supreme

Every year for Christmas I do a big spread for breakfast. I like to have a variety of sweet and savory options. And always some kind of fruit salad, to at least pretend we are healthy.The breakfast, served buffet style, is out for a few hours, so people can graze as desired.This year I decided to ma...

Green Beans De Luxe

Growing up we didn’t eat a lot of vegetables. We mostly had canned peas, canned corn, or canned green beans.As an adult, I must say I despise canned vegetables! I much prefer fresh. If I can’t have fresh - I go with frozen. They tend to be crisper and have much more flavor.I find canned vegetabl...

Cream Cheese Frosting

I used this recipe to ice my Cinnamon Rolls I spoke of yesterday.I know cinnamon rolls usually have a very simple and basic confectioners’ sugar icing. But I think the best cinnamon rolls have a thicker cream cheese frosting on them.This was a great recipe for the rolls. I can imagine it would be ...

Cinnamon Rolls

I read a lot. Usually two or three books a week. Mostly detective or murder mysteries. I have been reading a book series lately where the main character, an FBI agent, makes cinnamon rolls to decompress. So cinnamon rolls have been on my mind a lot lately.She makes a yeast based cinnamon roll. Hones...

Apricot Nut Bread

I was making something breakfast like for my husband to take into his office for the holidays. I had already made scones, which tend to be a little on the drier side. So I wanted something a little softer to accompany them.I go through phases of eating a ton of dried apricots, so I happened to have....

Gnocchi

I wanted a challenge. I make pasta all the time. I very rarely buy store bought pasta anymore.But I have never made gnocchi. I thought it would go wonderfully with the lamb and eggplant dishes I was planning to serve at my Italian dinner party.I had it in my head that gnocchi would be complicated. I...

Torta Di Pistacchio

This was the second dessert I made for my Italian themed dinner party. Did I really need two desserts, well no. But I am glad I made this one!The crust is absolutely wonderful. The sherry really adds a huge amount of flavor.The pastry is light and flaky - which is exactly what you want. But it is al...

Cassatelle Ala Siciliana

Last week I hosted a dinner party with an Italian theme. I wanted to choose desserts that were a little different. I picked these tarts and the Pistachio Pie I will talk about tomorrow.I don’t think I have ever even tasted a Sicilian cream tart, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.They were delightf...

Spanish Rice and Beef

Spanish Rice is one of the things my husband grew up with. I had never had it before we got married. But it is a dish I soon learned to enjoy.I love the addition of bacon in this recipe. It adds the wonderful bacon flavor to the entire dish.I always worry about the rice cooking completely in a dish....

Mild Tamale Pie

I have made many tamale pies over the years. They all have pretty much the same ingredients, and pretty much the same application.This one is no different. Pretty much the same.One major difference is that there are no actual tomatoes in this one. Just the tomato sauce. This makes the base of the me...
