Peach Pecan Amaretto Preserves
This recipe for Peach Pecan Amaretto Preserves with Golden Raisins is amazing. This recipe takes quite a while, especially if you wait the 2 weeks for the preserves to mellow before you eat it, but the final product is well worth the work. As a head’s up – this recipe took me about 2-1/2 hours…
Read MoreCrispy Herb Fried Chicken
This is another great recipe that was advertised in the Nov. 1979 Cuisine. I’ve been thinking about attempting to fry my own chicken for a while now, and this recipe might just get me there. However, although I really do love fried food, I hate it when it turns out greasy! I feel like my…
Read MoreNo-Bake Pumpkin Pie

It’s getting close to fair time again here. That means it’s time for me to decide what types of foods I’m going to make for open class at the Gibson County Fair. There hasn’t been a year that I’ve not exhibitied something there. Last year I made holiday themed candy corn cookies – similar to…

Read MoreFarmer’s Daughter Chipotle Potato Salad
Recently, one of my favorite restaurants, The Farmer’s Daughter had a cooking class featuring Summer Salads. The class was a lot of fun, even if I’m not usually a big fan of these types of foods. At the event, she gave us some recipes and then explained her (rather organic) process of putting them together. …

This is the recipe for the “healthy” cookies I made for my sister Kayla’s bridal shower. Everyone seemed to like them well enough. Even with the cake, chocolate chunk cookies, and sugar cookies, I didn’t have many left. Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon…

We recently received a large collection of books from my Uncle Scott. Most of those books were agriculture yearbooks. There were books from the earliy 1900s all the way up to the 1990s. Now those books are actually for my husband, but I found 1 book that was calling my name. It was a copy…
