Yep, ready in less than 15 minutes … And did I say, only 3-4 ingredients, depending. This is a soup you pull together after working in the Fall garden and have a bit of chill. It’s not my own recipe but Jacques Pépin’s … That’s the only reason I tried it because it does call for instant potatoes. Yikes! I shopped the instant potatoes carefully and did find a product I thought would be as close to the real thing as possible, no added ingredients. It works!
Incredibly inviting! This recipe was followed meticulously for the most beautiful product. It did have a few little *drawbacks which were more about individual taste preferences. This is an America’s Test Kitchen recipe put together by my oldest. If you know anything about America’s Test Kitchen you are aware some recipes are not shared without joining. However, this recipe is shared in a Youtube presentation. Just plug in Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Pie & add America’s Test Kitchen.
*Know this recipe is on the tart side. Of course apple choice may contribute to the lack of sweetness. Secondly, the crumb topping was very crunchy. I’m not sure I have a correction for this except to say … if your filling lacks moisture and the topping cannot be placed over a flat surface this might contribute. Too, the melted butter in the crumb topping might be the crunch contribution.
It was delicious!! Ice cream right in the pie! Thank you Will.
Many of my friends remember this as a kid. It was even Doug’s favorite. There are so many versions of this casserole I thought I’d add my own. I don’t remember my mother’s. It was rarely made and everyone in the family shied away including me. If my mother’s tasted anything like this I definitely missed out.
Tamales and Tamale Pie have little in common. Tamale Pie came about with the popularity of Mexican Cuisine … Although not a traditional dish it does have a special place on the table. It’s a hardy tasty economical meal!
Give it a try. And if you’re in a big hurry … leave off the topping, skip the baking and enjoy. Yes, it’s delicious this way too.
Yep another repost. I did find mother’s old recipe ?, and it seems somewhat different from what I remember … mainly because I love it this time around. Give it a try too and see what you like best.
When you’re craving enchiladas but don’t have the time try this perfect substitution that only takes about 10 minutes. My fav enchilada is made with just cheeses. And this is how I love this soup too. If you like chicken enchiladas just add cooked chicken to this recipe. It works! This recipe can serve 6 easily with a side salad for a complete meal. I love this soup! Hope you do too!
Yep, this is a repost. It is soup season but it’s really just something I’m craving today.
Simple but tasty … Add wine when company is expected for a more sophisticated taste. This thinly sliced chicken, chicken piccata, is just so perfect … It becomes about the lemony buttery sauce. Enjoy a little twist with the bella mushrooms. We love it!!
Or try my Chicken Involtini for a truly smashing presentation. If you have chicken you may have all ingredients needed for this recipe because this dish has a list of optional stuffings … from sausage to prosciutto or pancetta to mild white cheeses to herbs, rosemary, sage, parsley, or basil, to pine nuts or capers, to vegetables, spinach or roasted red bell peppers even bread crumbs.
This is a 9 inch double layer cake recipe made into 24 standard size cupcakes instead. The recipe ingredients are only slightly different from the traditional Prune Cake. It has a special touch of added coffee. One ingredient, vegetable shortening, has not changed. I’ve attempted to use other fat substitutes without much luck in moistness and texture. I hope you enjoy this great recipe! And if you really aren’t into prunes … surprise yourself!

After several documentaries on the making of commercial dog food (yeah, it’s more than just the addition of chicken beaks & feathers), and my 12 year old Boston Terrier Mix not tolerating the usual kibble or canned food, I decided to prepare the food myself. I found this simple recipe and decided to give it a try. (I have known from the beginning this recipe may be easy but may not provide all my dog needs for ideal nutrition & health.) I switched my Boston from Hill’s prescription Digestive Care to human grade food without any ill effects. The Digestive Care had been doing the trick … no more endless diarrhea. I like to believe that Hill’s is made with extra care as I still give my cats Hill’s.
This is what happens when you don’t follow a recipe. It’s delicious but nothing like the King Arthur Glazed Espresso Coffee Cake. Well, it’s the same ingredients but steps do make a difference! Mine has a dome-like center, oops, which might have been avoided if I had layered the cake batter little by little over a silicone mat covered bottom per directions. I read the directions months ago and when I finally made the cake today I had forgotten the one thing that caught my eye initially … the marbling of the cake. (As you see, no marbling at all. Yep, I mixed all the batter together.) Too, I used parchment paper with the thought it would work as well as the silicone. It did help with the cake removal but silicone does provide even baking. It does seem the amount of batter was a bit excessive for an 8 inch square baking dish. You might like to try a 9 inch square and cut the baking time a bit Or use the reverse creaming method as in the King Arthur recipe. These all affect the baking outcome.
I do love King Arthur Products. Their mixes are helpful when you have unexpected company or need a break from the time a scratch recipe requires. I’m sure you can get around some of the King Arthur ingredients here by substitution if needed. This is a many ingredients recipe and does take some attention when putting it together.
Here’s a really simple dinner in no time. Use an economical cut of beef, requiring a little longer cooking, or a sirloin cut. I used sirloin … It was on sale this week. Just a word about sirloin … not all sirloin cuts are the same in taste and tenderness. There are approximately 11 different cuts. This particular piece I used was called Sirloin Filet. With this the cooking was brief and the whole dinner came together in about 20 minutes. Ask your butcher to recommend a cut if you aren’t sure.
This recipe and a side of rice is perfect for four. Give it a try.
It’s 1982 and my husband takes a position as a Deputy DA in Bakersfield, California. Really,you did? It was the first time I would live a distance from my hometown. It was a unilateral decision that significantly changed the lives of many.
It didn’t take long to establish ourselves in this community. We were within walking distance of our new favorite restaurant, Mama Tosca’s. And in old town Bakersfield we loved Luigi’s, quite a hangout for Bakersfieldians. In this same area of town several Basque restaurants were longtime establishments. Can’t forget the Pyrenees Bakery! Basque is a part of Bakersfield culture. The food is delicious and overwhelmingly plentiful at these family style restaurants. Just ordering the setupwas more than enough for our family. This included a vegetable soup, beans, salad, pickled tongue, spaghetti, bread … And was there a salsa?
This soup recipe is very much a taste-alike of the cabbage soup served at one of Bakersfield’s Favorite Basque Restaurants. It’s light yet flavorful … a year around soup. Enjoy!
