In honor of Umi's birthday today, I'm re-sharing the recipe for my chicken & cheese enchiladas because it's Umi's favorite dish. Although, rather than making that for her birthday dinner tonight, she's requested the Applebottom Pork Chops. Watch out, my dear enchiladas, you may have been replaced! Furthermore, yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, so this… Continue reading Enchiladas Revisited

Cooking Tips #4
Salting the water allows you to season the noodles beforehand because once they are boiled it's too late to season them. And here you thought it was to keep them from sticking together or the like. Not so. To do that, use oil.
Carbonara!
Today's guest post is from my darling cousin Lori, who's getting married on Halloween to the Rockstar she affectionately calls Future Husband on her awesome and hysterical blog that is full of hilarity Diary of a Rockstar's Girlfriend!

Cooking Tips #2

Snickerdoodles!
This is my favorite cookie and my Aunt Jane, who passed away two years ago, used to make them all the time. Unca T sends me a batch for Christmas too, along with pizzelles. Now THOSE are NOM! Most of my recipes are on note cards, which means I have no idea half the time… Continue reading Snickerdoodles!
Yorkshire Pudding
This recipe is an old one, passed down to me by my maternal grandmother, passed to her by who knows in my ancestral line. G-ma Ethel always made this when she'd slow-cook a roast, and it's a family favorite. It is, however, quite greasy, so we didn't have it often. This is a fairly simple… Continue reading Yorkshire Pudding
