Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned WayI have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat. You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf… |

Easy Sour Cream BiscuitsQuick to the table because there's no cutting of shortening into flour mixture. Just stir in sour cream, knead lightly, pat out, cut and bake. Couldn't be simpler to get homemade biscuits on the table. I like to use up the tail end of the sour cream this way. |

Creole Perfect Sweet Potato PieI have made this recipe for years. There is none better - or so I've been told by some serious and knowing Creole cooks. And while some may say "Well, it sounds just like a pumpkin pie recipe", they are sorely mistaken. This, my friends, is a Creole Sweet Potato Pie. This is the way to eat your vegetables! Vegetables and… |

Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies - HIGH ALTITUDE STYLEThink you can't improve on the Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe? You can if you live at a high altitude (3500 to 6000 feet) and you make the recommended adjustments by the Nestle Company. I have made these cookies since I was young… |

Lemon Pastry Squares (a.k.a Lemon Brownies) - a new take on Lemon Bars!This recipe has been circulating around the Internet as “Lemon Brownies”, but I think it deserves a more descriptive name. These treats are a delicacy and are more “dainty” than brownies. They have no chocolate, are not brown, and NOT as sweet nor… |

Cornbread, Jalapeno Maple BaconWhen the daytime temperature hits around 50 degrees and the evening plunges to 30 or lower, it is time to begin the annual maple syrup processing in our neck of the woods. We use it for many things and one of them is this cornbread. I first had a jalapeno cornbread in Texas, made by my sister's cowboy husband's aunt Netha, and… |

Overnight Refrigerator Yeast RollsRefrigerator yeast rolls are the answer to busy days and holiday dinners. Divide the roll making process into two days and three steps: make, shape and bake! This is based on a recipe from bhg.com, which has a few variations using this method (see "Useful Links" below). I stayed fairly close to the original recipe, though lazy me,… |

Everything Goes Oatmeal CoookiesThis is an original recipe. I was making them, years ago, because my children wanted a "loaded" oatmeal cookie that was good, soft and plump. Now my grand children like them and I thought I would pass it on so others can enjoy them. They are easy to prepare and delicious. Chef J. Gino Genovesi |

Old-Fashioned Raisin Walnut Spice BarsThis vintage bar cookie recipe should be included in the Oldie-But-Goodie Cookie Hall of Fame. Great for a brunch treat, snack or coffee break, it is dated 1960 but is timeless in appeal. Easily tweaked to reduce fat (swap out half the oil with equivalent amount of applesauce) or reduce sugar (sub non-nutritive sweetener… |

Blue Cornmeal CornbreadBlue cornmeal imparts a blue-violet cast to the bread, a coarser consistency and a sweeter, nuttier taste than yellow or white cornmeal. It is 20% higher in protein and has a lower glycemic index, good news for those with elevated blood sugar. However it can be difficult to find! Arrowhead and Bob's Red Mill make it and some health… |

Half & Half Whole Wheat Bread (Machine or Hand-made)Well it's NEARLY half and half (whole wheat flour and white bread flour.) This makes a 2-pound loaf of bread though you can bake it in two 1-pound loaf pans and freeze one..or smaller pans as you wish. At high altitudes, decrease yeast a little (1/2 teaspoon) and increase water (1 to 2 tablespoons.) |

Easy Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken With Quick SlawA new twist on an old favorite - chicken and coleslaw - from Delmarva Poultry Industries Inc. I tried it using 2 different crumb coatings (corn flakes and panko) and found the corn flake crumbs gave better color and overall results. The buttermilk marinade makes the chicken moist and tender. |

So glad to have this in my collection, as angel food cakes are my absolute favorites and this one is a standout. Be sure to allow… |

Savory Meatloaf with ZucchiniIn planning a birthday dinner for a mutual friend, a fellow-foodie and I devised this juicy meatloaf with prominent herb flavors. We started with 3 different mostly lean ground meats we had on hand (a good quality turkey, deer meat and pork sausage - but you can use any combination you like.) We like the layers of flavor 3 different… |

Beer Bread (by Bread Machine or Conventional Bread Method)This recipe for Beer Bread has a fine grain, firm crust, light volume, nice moist quality plus a slight taste similar to sourdough. I use the bread machine as a convenience - to make the dough and proof it. Then I interrupt the cycle just prior to the baking function so I can shape to a regular loaf pan, give it an extra and final… |
