Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
What do you do when you have a quart of eggnog left after your eggnog loving teen never gets around to drinking it? You start baking. This is the easiest bread pudding I have ever made. I literally threw it together in about five minutes and baked it for about 45 minutes. Unlike the above […]
My mom would pickle most of the beets we raised in our garden every year. I think it was because my dad preferred pickled beets. Plus, my mom’s pickled beets were the best.
