	Spiced Tea (a.k.a. Russian Tea) by Lana Stuart Spiced Tea (a.k.a. Russian Tea)On the day of the big event, everyone dressed in their Sunday best – heels, hose…the works – and arrived at the celebration. Showers were as much a time to honor a bride or expectant mother as they were an opportunity to catch up on the local news and gossip. The location was always beautifully decorated…	3 votes 1 review 1394 views
	Country Fried Steak by Lana Stuart I rarely fry foods these days. After all, it makes a big mess on the stove, the whole house smells for days afterwards, and it’s not all that healthy. However, once in a while, I just have to open up some windows, put on a big apron and fry up a batch of country fried steak. It’s another good old southern comfort classic.

	Berry-Glazed Chocolate Cake by Lana Stuart We celebrated a birthday at our house on Sunday – BeeBop’s!

This is one that I tried recently and have…	2 votes 1 review 666 views

	Dutch Baby by Lana Stuart Is there anything better for a weekend breakfast than pancakes? Not much, I’d say. And the classic Dutch Baby is one of the best and easiest pancake breakfasts I can think of. I had no idea why this recipe was called “Dutch Baby” so I did a little online research and here’s what I found on Wikipedia:According to Sunset magazine, Dutch…	2 votes 965 views
	Italian Sausage and Roasted Pepper Sandwich by Lana Stuart Italian Sausage and Roasted Pepper SandwichGardening has always been such a great pleasure for me. Planting those little seedlings in the Spring with high hopes for a bountiful crop. Some years it works out and some years…well. This year the tomatoes just fizzled before they ever really got started. We grew some monster tomato vines…	2 votes 1945 views
