It all started with a hump in the floor.

Well, we’ve started another major renovation at our house. This time it’s the kitchen. It was just about a year ago that we did the bathroom. The contractor says it will take about a month and we are half way into it. Things are… Continue Reading “It all started with a hump in the floor.”

Happy Fall! I’m not a Pumpkin Spice everything kind of person, but this cake I developed last year may be the exception. I’m ready for another Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake, which was inspired by a coffee I had at @gapcreekcoffeecafe last fall, which is something else I need again soon. The recipe is on my website, and the link is in my profile. #fall #firstdayoffall #autumnalequinox #pumpkinspice #pumpkinspicelatte #cake #baking #thefeedfeedbaking #bakefromscratch #scratchbaking #letthemeatcake #linkinprofile #originalrecipe #yum #foodpic #foodphotography

Another great evening with a #screenporchsupper and great company. We had Bread & Butter Chicken, Seasoned Chicken Breast, fried cabbage, 7 layer salad, the Devil’s cackleberries, Cole slaw, and glazed carrots. Now we’re about to cut a pumpkin roll for some dessert. #whatsfordinner #yum #cabbage #deviledeggs #devilscackleberries #supper #summerevening #eatingontheporch #screenporch #friendsforsupper #friendsfordinner
The other day we had a great lunch at @sweet_onion_restaurant in Waynesville, NC and they served a biscuit that had kernels of corn and cracked pepper. It got me to thinking about how I could replicate them, but then I thought about taking it further and decided to come up with a Mexican Street Corn Biscuit.
The first thing I remember making on my own was Banana Bread. I used my moms @betterhomesandgardens cookbook from probably 1963 when my parents got married, which I have today. I got it out last night and realized I was recipe developing when I was 11 or 12. Lol! Adding mayonnaise to baked goods seemed to resurface during the 80’s. It’s adds a little bit of moisture. This is a simple recipe that is a good blueprint recipe. It’s called a Banana Coffee Bread and is supposed to be baked in a square pan. I baked it as a loaf, which takes double the baking time, but that’s just how I’ve always done it. #bananabread #betterhomesandgardens #cookbook #betterhomesandgardenscookbook #blueprintrecipe #recipedevelopment #baking #bakingfromscratch #scratchmade #bakersofinstagram #food #foodporn #foodpics #huffposttaste #momscookbook
@mickontheporch ‘s mom turned 81 on Friday. His dad got some chicken and his sister made a cake. We waited until today to go up and visit and I made her favorite Peach Cobbler. We sat down to a dinner (lunch) of bologna and tomato sandwiches, and then she saw the cobbler. After dinner we went into the living room and she told stories of growing up in Shelton Laurel, raising her kids, and funny stories about her mom. I recorded about 18 minutes of that conversation, but I wish I’d started recording earlier. When she gets on a roll like that she tells some awesome stories, and she’s pretty funny. I’ll share the video soon. #peachcobbler #mom #birthday #81yearsyoung #storyteller #sweettooth #motherinlaw #itsagoodday
