Greek in one way or another shows up on the menu here at least once a month. I’m not sure which we like more – Chicken Souvlaki or Greek style baby back ribs. Greek Salad is one of the few salads that I actually like. And, Moe, he is just thrilled any time he gets…

I saw a picture of a Raspberry cake on another blog (Sarea’s On Line Recipe Book) and it looked so good I decided to make it. One problem though……… it called for yogurt. Not something I normally have on hand. But I always have sour cream in the fridge. I also made a few other…

I was up early this morning and had time to bake something before going to work. Decided to bake a Chocolate Cream Cheese Cake. I made this once before about three years ago. The recipe neglects to say what size pan to use. I used a large loaf pan last time. This time I made…

I’d been neglecting my sourdough “Mother” and hadn’t fed it in a month. It should be fed at least once a week, even when I’m not using it. But it is very forgiving. Before I could use it again I needed to feed it, which I did on Sunday and again on Monday. By then…

I baked bagels last night. The first thing I did when I got home from work was get the dough kneaded and rising while I made dinner. I needed mini bagels for the “Afternoon Tea” I was preparing today. Bagels only take about three hours from start to finish,so they are easy to bake in…

Have I mentioned that I love summer? We tend to have very mild or moderate summers here on the west coast. I’m so enjoying the weather the last couple of days. The temperature has been in the mid to high 80’s and today it might have actually reached 90°F. And, it is suppose to continue…

Creamy and Smooth To satisfy Moe’s sweet tooth I made Chocolate Walnut fudge. I made it just before I went to bed so he didn’t get to sample it until this morning. I used my traditional fudge recipe, adding a cup of semi sweet chocolate. After the fudge reached the soft ball stage, I left…

Moe requested Beef Tenderloin Kabobs for his birthday dinner. A meal that I have been making for him for over 30 years. The original recipe came from a Detroit newspaper. Friend Sue Buratto made it for us on one of our visits. This morning before leaving for work, I cut the tenderloin into nice size…

I never make cupcakes. Muffins yes, but never cupcakes. Until today. Maybe I will just call these muffins anyway. I had some cream cheese filling leftover from yesterday’s cream cheese danish. Went looking for a chocolate muffin recipe to which I could add the cream cheese. Found a recipe on another blog that sounded promising….
