Yet another Wiener Wednesday dish that I chose because of the name. The Babysitter’s Favorite. This is from Crock-Pot Cooking by Marilyn Neill. As someone who was only a babysitter for a single summer because I disliked it so much, I can’t really speak on what would make this a babysitter favorite; so instead IContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: The Babysitter’s Favorite (1975)

Pork Tenderloin Part II! This is what I did with the second half of the one-pound tenderloin that I used for the Herbed Pork Roast with Broccoli Spaghetti. Note: the Broccoli Spaghetti became a bit of a debate over on the Facebook page. Click below to see them. Well, not really a debate–rather a discussionContinue reading 147.

The best thing to happen during the Holly Ball (aside from the majesty of Shrimp Sputnik ’18 and the fact that it was just a damn good party), was that I received a wonderful Christmas present from my dear friends, Dan and Jon–A set of the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery (1966). Woman’s Day actuallyContinue reading Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Vol. 11 (1966): Sausage-Apple Bake

I was matched with Hannah, a college student at Florida State University. She told me that baking is her forte, but I actually think thatContinue reading November Foodie Pen Pals
Rouladen. Sounds French, right? As I was preparing this one I had visions of wee men sporting John Waters-ish mustaches and berets in my head. Well, I was dead wrong. This dish is German. Now, in my defense, I’m not one for languages. I took the requisite 2 years of Spanish to get intoContinue reading 21. Beef Rouladen (Braised Stuffed Beef Rolls)
Quickie weeknight meal! For this I used the leftover Canadian Bacon/ham from the Filled Omelet brunch a few days before. There’s no reason to waste perfectly good ham, am I right? I also liked the name of this dinner because ham rolls makes me think of Pork Roll a.k.a. Taylor Ham, which is one of the finer thingsContinue reading 14. Ham Rolls with Pecans
Note: this meal contains my first foray into gelatin molds. I really enjoy a good baked ham so I approached this card with both anticipation and trepidation. You see, my mum’s Christmas Eve ham is the stuff of legend. Partly because of her preparation, partly because we only have it once a year, but IContinue reading 45. Baked Ham With Raisin Sauce
