This will be brief! When raising and feeding a family of ten, we stretched the protein with sauce and rice — a lot! Well, if you study food combinations, you learn that rice combines with several things to make a high-quality protein. Latin America lives on rice and beans, and so can we! This meant, [...] Cinnamon rolls are not health food; they are best when made with lots of butter and sugar! You can try to redeem them with whole wheat flour, but ……Also, they are not nearly as good the next day. Fresh and hot is the way they should be eaten! Of course, that means you have to [...] One of my favorite meals as a child growing up in southern Kansas was chili, crackers and apple pie for dessert. In our small towns, churches and clubs were always having chili dinners for fund-raisers. Huge pots of chili, baskets of crackers, and small bottles of vinegar on the table. Yes, we added a dash [...] I think I mentioned in another post that breakfast is my favorite meal, although it was not very fancy on school days. On Saturdays, the kids got to eat in their pajamas, and we always served pancakes. When they were younger, we sat at the table and ate together, but as they grew older, they [...] One of my sons has suggested a “one pot” theme. Good idea, especially if the dish is such that you can do like the cavepeople did and all stick your spoons in the same pot! No dishes! I like it. To my way of thinking, soup makes a great one pot meal, especially if you [...] We don’t let things go to waste in our house. Brown, slimy bananas mke great banana bread! Overripe bananas can easily be mashed with a little lemon juice and frozen until you are ready to bake. I have tried several recipes; one had grape-nuts instead of nuts. This one is my favorite. We had one [...] I used to have a collection of refrigerator magnets. They were really cute: a tiny box of popcorn and a diet coke; a little iron skillet with fried eggs, you get the picture. Most of the cute ones are gone now. The girls fed some of them to their dolls, and one of my boys [...] I’m sure you have heard it said: “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Don’t skip it.” I’ve come to appreciate another old saying: “Eat breakfast like a king, luncheon like a duke, and supper like a pauper.” I don’t always wake up very hungry, so I take this to mean qualilty, if [...] My children’s great great grandparents, Patrick and Katie Fleming, came to America from Ireland during the potato famine, probably passing through Ellis Island with hundreds of other brave people risking it all to find a better life in America. (I wonder what they would think of the state of things in this country now?) [...] I’m not sure, but I think that “torta rustica” means something like “country pie” in Italian. So let’s all put on our Bob Dylan hats and hum a few bars: “Oh, me, oh my — love that country pie.” He may have been thinking more about apple or cherry, but this is a great “big [...] |
