Sunday brunch at home while enjoying my 80’s playlist. (My favorite to play while in the kitchen.) —It’s chilly in my part of the Northeast, and it seemed like a nice morning for pancakes. Pancakes are my go-to food in diners and at home. And they were my first topic on my blog. Interested in a brief history of pancakes? Sure you are. Check out the link in my profile called Ugly Pancakes. You’ll have to read it to understand the title. This morning I made @markbittman How To Cook Everything: the basics. 😋. (I realized this morning that I need to switch out my “winter” dishes soon! Although Winter is coming soon for GoT fans, so is Spring. 👏👏👏😉) Happy Sunday friends!
New blog posted on the history of KitchenAids. My mother brought her old recipe and instruction book, and I found myself exploring when KitchenAids were introduced. Link in profile. Happy mixing!
Yum. I dived into the burrito so quick, I forgot to take a picture. 😉😋 Cheers 🍻
It’s getting cold outside, so the oven gets to work it’s magic. Banana bread reminds me of home. Recipe from my mother’s Betty Crocker Cookbook from 1970. 😋 #baking #bananabread #foodhistoryblog
