Apple Pie with Almond butter sauce

March 27, 2018March 27, 2018

I decided to use up some apples today before they turned toward spoiling.  Pie sounded good.  In a spelt crust - I mean spelt is whole grain and apples are healthy, so maybe it's a "good for you" dessert?  LOL, I convinced myself.  And I didn't want to do my Caramel apple pie. While I … Continue reading Apple Pie with Almond butter sauce

Farmhouse White Bread, with a Cinnamon Twist

Growing up, one of the first things I learned to bake, and baked a lot of, was white bread.  I know, bread is not usually one of the things a child bakes at age 11 or 12, but I did, along with other things like cookies.  But I had this bread recipe my family really … Continue reading Farmhouse White Bread, with a Cinnamon Twist

I found a recipe for a meatball dinner many years ago, and have modified it over time to meet the preferences of my family. It's comfort food for sure, and makes the house smell terrific. It's a good weekend night meal, which you can make in advance and either refrigerate or freeze.  It's almost a … Continue reading Easy Weeknight Meatball Casserole

How to Make The Great Fox Pines Beef Stew

March 5, 2018March 24, 2025

Beef stew was a favorite thing in our family growing up. It took a little meat, usually something that needed a long cooking time to make it tender, a cheap cut of beef.  Or whatever my mother had left int the freezer from a slaughtered cow. Daddy had a specific way to eat it - … Continue reading How to Make The Great Fox Pines Beef Stew
