It has been so long since I've posted here. Work has had me pretty stressed out the last month. A lot of changes. I usually embrace change but this is more like chaos. After a three day weekend of pretty much just relaxing, I am feeling a little better. I just had to remind myself what my priorities are and not get caught up in the small stuff.
The temperatures have cooled down quite a bit and the humidity is gone. Fall is in the air and I couldn't be happier about that.
I spent some time going through some of my Grandmother's recipes. I had to laugh when I saw this one.
The recipe is for Spaghetti Con Polpette..I read that and said what is that. Then I noticed the line below it which says it all... "meat balls to me". Gotta love her. Every Christmas my Grandmother and her sister in law made a dessert that I just loved. I remember the taste to this day. I knew it had vanilla waffers and pineapple and whipped cream but that is all I knew. I finally found her recipe. It is simply called "Creamy dessert". We will be having this for Christmas. It's been years.
I finally found the prep table I have been wanting. It is so nice to have a place to mix spices or roll out dough without using the kitchen counters. My kitchen seems to stay much more organized now.
I made cupcakes this morning since it's been awhile. This is the Hershey cocoa recipe for the cupcake with a toasted coconut cream cheese frosting. They are SO good.
Any recipes from your Grandmother that you wish you had?
Happily I have a few from both grandmothers. Some of the recipes are scrumptious and a few are 'vintage' gotta love them for the sake of nostalgia.
