this cake evidently is the most sought after recipe at the Epicurious website and this morning NBC Today show made it. It did look good and I thought maybe those folks around the world who don't get that show might like the recipe. Let me know if you have already made this and give us a...

Well, last night I had a Robbie Burns night (Jan. 24) and made haggis. It was the first time I'd ever had it and of course didn't have a sheep's stomach to use. Here's what I did. I went to the butcher and he sold me a sausage casing that would be used for making souse or some other large cased...

I'm about to make a batch of Andouille smoked Cajun sausage, as pork butt was only $1 /# today at the butcher shop. I was going to make just Italian sweet sausage( though I still have some left from last fall) and then as I researched different recipes, I came across a site that had the...

Way back in the 60's, Family Circle or Woman's Day published a paperback cookbook that I used a whole lot as a young wife. One of the best recipes in there became our family favorite, with a myriad of adaptations through the years. It was oatmeal pancakes. Here's the basic start recipe...

I have a friend who retired and turned 65 at the same time, so we had a small surprise gathering of friends out for dinner and then back to the house. I volunteered to make the dessert and as her mother was from Sicily, and birthday girl had just gone to the Mediteranean last summer, I thought...

I smoked a wild turkey this Thanksgiving, and it was a bit dry, but delicious. I had plenty left over, which I chunked up and froze in packages. I've made a couple of great turkey noodle or turkey rice soups with it. Anyone have any great techniques utilizing the wild turkey?

My husband is diabetic, so I adapt as many recipes as I can so he can enjoy treats too. But I myself can hardly stand the sweet fatty bakery muffins. These are so easy and sooo good. I always 3 or 4 frozen bananas to use too. In a blender put: 4-5 overripe banana 1 cup prune puree or...

I have gotten a thrift store find of a steam milk frother that would work on the stove top. It is well made, but I cannot find any directions on the net. Has anyone ever used one. My question is how much water to put in and how long to I let it build the steam, after it comes to a boil. I'm...

Are you making some of this for Christmas? Now's the time. Every school group is selling those boxes of oranges or grapefruit that somebody goes down and picks up in Florida or Texas and they sure are lovely. I can hardly stand to let any of the peels go to waste too. So for years I've always...

I look forward to getting into some of the interesting forums. I found this site while I was looking for a sea foam recipe. Christmas gifts are being readied, and I've already made two batches of candied orange peel, and dipped them in chocolate, and have the cranberry liquer mellowing. As...
