Today I’m taking the vintage quest to New Mexico. I have a copy of a cook book named New Mexico Cookin’, published in 1976. Notice the cost was $1.29. I challenge you to find a new cookbook for so little money. This book came from the collection of my hubby’s great-aunt Esther. She was a very […]
Welcome! Today we are visiting vintage again. My Better Homes And Gardens Cook Book to be precise. This particular copy is the sixteenth printing, from August 1936. 76 years ago…wow!
I’m getting a kick out of reading the recipes in my old cook books. I admit it’s a bit of a challenge to find ones that I want to make and know we will enjoy eating. The book I used today is The Lily Wallace New American Cook Book. Lily Haxworth Wallace is listed as […]
Well, I’m just going to start by saying a weekend away does wonders for the soul, relaxes the body, strengthens the bonds, and allows time for reflection. My weekend away with the girls was marvelous. What a superb and interesting group of women I spent my weekend with.

I did not make mac n cheese. I just wanted to let all of you know my adoring hubby gave me a new Mac Mini for Valentines day. Not particularly romantic but way fun. I just got it set up yesterday and am still transferring info from my old mac. I have not fallen out […]
I hope you are enjoying my “orange” month as much as I am. I’m having such a good time creating all these recipes with orange as an ingredient. It is difficult for me to avoid making mostly sweets, but my waist line won’t stand for it. I do have a few sweet recipes to share […]
One of the nicer things about blogging – meeting fellow bloggers. After stumbling on my “Orange Cheesecake” recipe, Lisa at http://smartfoodandfit.com/ invited me to join her Citrus Fest-Blog Hop. I’m in! Check out her link above for some great citrus loving recipes! I’m working on a new post that I’ll also link up with her as it’s […]
