I ran across this recipe online about a week ago. It sounded different and easy to make, which it is. The cookies are that perfect combination of sweet and salty, and the recipe describes them as “crispy edged, slightly custardy in the center, and deeply potato-y.” Adding the main ingredient involved the horrific act of… Continue reading Latke Cookies

Foods that either Dorothy or I have made.
Fagoza
Dorothy made pizza for our Christmas Eve dinner this year. The dough recipe makes enough crusts for two regular or four personal size pizzas, which left us with enough dough for another crust. But I had other plans. Plans to make something I saw online. I believe I saw it on a Pinterest post that… Continue reading Fagoza
Cheddar and Dark Muscovado Ice Creams
I recently came across a recipe for cheddar ice cream entitled ‘Cheddar Ice Cream for Apple Pie’ which got me thinking. I could make a batch of ‘Cheese and Crackers Ice Cream.’ Even better, ‘Cheese and Ritz Cracker Ice Cream.’ Better than that? How does ‘Cheddar Ice Cream with Ritz Cheese-filled Cracker Sandwich Pieces’ sound?… Continue reading Cheddar and Dark Muscovado Ice Creams
Lucky Charms Ice Cream
There were several appearances recently of cereal flavored ice creams in the #PNWFoodies group on Facebook. I hold a fondness for both cereal and ice cream on their own. I’ve also seen cereal or cereal milk-flavored ice creams several times on T.V. in recent years. I’m also currently in the middle of a homemade ice… Continue reading Lucky Charms Ice Cream
Two No-Knead Breads
I decided to bake some bread over the weekend. I’d been thinking about doing so for a while now. Dorothy made a loaf of Apple Cheddar Twist Bread a few days ago and that’s all the motivation I needed. I wanted to use some of the remaining jalapeños, that we received from our family’s gardens,… Continue reading Two No-Knead Breads
Layers: Cookie Cake and Medovik
Dorothy recently made an easy no-bake cake. It’s a very nostalgic one for her and it’s known as ‘grandmother’s cake’, ‘petit-beurre cake,’ or ‘cookie cake.’ It’s made with butter cookies that have been dipped in coffee and placed in alternating layers with buttercream. It’s then topped with chocolate. Normally, chocolate sprinkles are used. She opted… Continue reading Layers: Cookie Cake and Medovik
Coffee Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Bits
I was thinking of other possible uses for the Autocrat Coffee Syrup that we had recently acquired, and the first thought that popped into my mind was ice cream. I did a quick search of the web and found that somebody had posted a recipe using Autocrat, a half cup of the stuff! So I… Continue reading Coffee Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Bits
Island Time
This week we made some famous Rhode Island foods inspired by a video by Kristen Hampton wherein she ate at the Olneyville N.Y. System restaurant in the aforementioned Rhode Island. She reviewed their Hot Wieners and Coffee Milk. I found and ordered Autocrat coffee syrup from “the ‘zon.” It was later suggested to me, again… Continue reading Island Time
Pizza Time
It’s been a few weeks since we made pizza. We figured that we had better take advantage of the good weather before we are compelled by rain and the cold to return to using the indoor oven. We had pizza for lunch on Saturday, and again for lunch today. This latest batch of dough yielded… Continue reading Pizza Time
Pot Pie and Lasagna
We just bought four of these baking dishes and Dorothy didn’t waste any time putting them to work. She made individual chicken pot pies from scratch, including the crust. Shredded chicken joined seasoned pork sausage, spinach, and mushrooms in a Parmesan cheese sauce. Swiss cheese was tucked beneath the golden brown blanket of crust, which… Continue reading Pot Pie and Lasagna
