Never Fail Chocolate Cake

Never Fail Chocolate Cake by Glenn

One of the easiest, and moistest chocolate cakes you will ever bake. My grandmother, Eva Koehler, called it her "never fail" recipe. It is nearly impossible to screw up. She always topped it with peanut butter icing (which is simply a white icing with peanut butter mixed in to taste).

Cooler Corn

Cooler Corn by Glenn

Large gatherings of people who like corn on the cob requires a couple of lobster pots or a wash tub and a lot of boiling water and patience. Not anymore. Thanks to tailgating technology there is a simple way to make dozens of ears of corn for the hungry revelers.

Basic Easy Pie Crust

Basic Easy Pie Crust by Glenn

For my grandmother, Eva Koehler, this was what passed for "easy." For me, easy means opening the box and removing the sleeve, cutting the end and removing the roll of pie dough then un-rolling the dough and placing it in a greased 9" pan. Translations have been made where appropriate. This is one of a very few recipes in her book…

Potatoes au Gratan

Potatoes au Gratan by Glenn

This recipe was adapted from a little booklet put out in the 1930s by Westinghouse and Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. for the new electric range and oven. It contained 7 meals, each of which could be baked together in the oven. I've cut out this item and made it work and boy is it good. One note, I stopped peeling potatoes years…

Molasses Cookies

Molasses Cookies by Glenn

A modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you…

Almost A Borscht Soup

Almost A Borscht Soup by Glenn

I wanted a hearty soup for lunch and had a left-over half head of boiled cabbage. What else could I do but go wild adding borschtish ingredients until I almost lost track. Bottom line, if you don't have an ingredient just leave it out or substitute something else. Have fun and be surprised, like I was, that this came out tasting…

Hard Boiled Eggs for cooks who can't boil water

Hard Boiled Eggs for cooks who can't boil water by Glenn

Forget the boiling water, colander, cracks and boil-outs. Hard "Boiled" Eggs made in the oven are easier, quicker, tastier and less prone to cracks and they are easier to peel. Who needs boiling water?

Sauerkraut and Sausage Casserole by Glenn

I found this in the Lititz Church of the Brethren Cookbook credited to Helen Forry. I love sauerkraut and this just looks too good. It is on my list to try.

Corn Chowder with Spam

Corn Chowder with Spam by Glenn

A basic, simple chowder to fill those little holes in your menu. Tastes great but is always better the second day so make sure you make too much. Easy to modify by adding or replacing your favorite food to make it your own. It's almost impossible to screw this up. Kudos to my sister Jann Hartman for the basic instructions.
