Pumpkin Granola Muffins
These muffins have some ingredients you may not be used to combining but believe me they are delicious together. The muffins are moist, hearty, aromatic, and delicious. The batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six weeks. Portion out the desired servings for fresh-baked muffins every morning! You’ll look like a genius….
Corned Beef and Cabbage
This is one of our all time favorite dinners. We don’t cook it that often but on St Patrick’s Day it is a must have. This meal is also called New England Boiled Dinner. I don’t know why it has two names but you will find this recipe under either name on this blog. This…
Monkey Bread
This is a great, finger-licking-good breakfast treat. Make the night before and it can be set out for early risers who want something to snack on before breakfast is served. Great on a breakfast buffet . Favorite of most kids because it is self- serve. Just pick a portion off the loaf, pop it in your…
Cranberry Glazed Pork
I have had this recipe forever. It is a wonderful family dinner recipe but could also be served for a very special company dinner. It is always a winner. It is written for a pork loin roast but is very complementary to nice little pork tenderloin. Delicious sides are sweet potatoes, and braised red cabbage….

Classic Fried Green Tomatoes
Well it’s the end of April and we got the tomato plants in a couple of weeks early. All this thanks to an abundance of sunshine and warm weather and Jason, the tomato king of Moses Lake. It may be just a little early but it got me thinking about one of Joe’s favorite foods—-…

Chocolate Fondue
This is a recipe that promotes ooohs and aaaahs around your table but also keeps the conversation alive…….which one is your favorite?…..have you tried the strawberries yet?…… I never thought of dipping pretzels into chocolate fondue, don’t you love the salty/sweet taste….. etc. etc. This can be your featured dessert or a station at a…
Stromboli
This was May’s cooking class recipe. The original recipe calls for home-made pizza dough. There is a recipe for that elsewhere on the blog. This process adds a couple of hours to your preparation time and does not produce a significant difference in the results. I found at our Safeway store, in the deli department,…

Braised Short Ribs
At one time short ribs were considered a budget meal, similar to a stew or pot roast, not anymore. If you can find short ribs at your butcher, you have two parties : one that you are fortunate enough to have a butcher, not just a meat packer and second that he has short ribs in his meat case. …
