Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Cottage Loaf
The sweet, tender cousin of Millie’s Dilly Bread Last month I re-posted an old favorite, Millie’s Dilly Bread. The recipe won the Pillsbury Bake Off in 1960 and the winner was from Nebraska! So many people wrote and told me “I remember my mom making that in the 70’s” or “Thanks, I had forgotten that…
GB’s Go Go Goulash
Comfort Food in a Hurry Go Go Goulash just might be an answer to prayer. Anyone else with a house full of hungry kids getting a teensy bit tired of cooking these days? I mean, togetherness is great and all but running the dishwasher twice a day is not the way we want to spend…
Millie’s Dilly Bread Recipe
Millie’s Dilly Bread Recipe We’re all sticking close to home these days and we’ve all got a lot of time to think. What’s more, with our temporary “new normal” stay at home life, those mealtimes come around quickly! I enjoy messing around in my kitchen especially now that we’ve updated. It must have been the…
YOU Can Make Yummy Homemade Noodles
Yes, you! Homemade Noodles are comfort food anyone can make! I’ll never forget the day when our middle grandson Nick called me and asked, “GB, can we make noodles?” Could we?? Oh my gosh yes!! I was over the moon to get his invitation! He was nine or ten at the time and I dropped…
Take That Tuna Melt and Stuff It!!
A new twist on an old favorite, the tuna melt. It’s Lent and recently, it kinda snuck up on me that it was a Friday. Whoops. In our church we abstain from eating meat on Fridays during these six weeks. It’s a way of humbling ourselves to simplicity and frugality. In ancient times only the…
Asian Ground Beef Improv
The night GB’s Kitchen became Desperation Diner, a true story. I’ve been on a mission for the last several months to rein in our grocery budget. I’m such a foodie! I love food, love to cook, love to eat, love to feed people, are you with me? I love having a super full pantry, freezer…
Classic Poppy Seed Bread
My first taste of Poppy Seed Bread?It was loaf at first bite.❤ My sister-in-law Margaret is a fantastic cook. Long ago she introduced me to this moist, indescribably yummy treat. Why do you suppose we forget to make something so delicious? I’ll bet it had been years since I last baked a loaf and it…
Yankee Doodle Chicken Noodle Soup
“The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.” Henry Van Dyke Who’s Ready For Spring? Me! Me! Oh my stars I’m ready! And I’m herding Mother Nature along to deliver as if my puny efforts will make her hurry. But I’m…
Easy. Naughty. Delicious. Party Chicken
This dish, a throwback to the 70’s, is as naughty and rich as a Kardashian and practically makes itself. I was happy as a pig in a mud puddle today. You see, we have two grandkids who’ll graduate in 2020. What a cool year! Nick and Baylie are first cousins and seniors (already??) at the…
