Hey, Paula,
I’m doing Thanksgiving here on the west coast this year with friends and I offered to bring a pie. I was trying to think what kind I wanted to make and I remembered the heavenly pecan pie of yours I had once at a PR shower. I remember there was chocolate drizzled on the top, or maybe just on the crust, but either way it was fantastic. Do you know the one I’m talking about? I would love the recipe.
would like to see some crab artichoke dip
Morgan, that sounds yummy. Will work on it.
Was amazed when I looked at your index. Doesn’t seem possible that you have done that many recipes already. Way to go -
Paula,
Hello, Paula–
Wonderful selection of recipes. Thanks for providing
such a wealth of yummy eats and helpful information.
(But when I try to click “Blackened Meatloaf” from the
index, I get Derinda’s great coffeecake . . . a fun main course!)
On my first visit here, and enjoying the prospect of
exploring more great stuff on your site.
Anny
PS Where in Hoosierland do you hail from? I’m too far
north to grow persimmon trees (for pudding at Thanksgiving),
and I miss them!
Hi Anny, I fixed the link for Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf. Thanks so much for the heads-up.
I come from Lucerne, Indiana but you probably never heard of it. Close to Logansport which is about 50 miles from Lafayette.
Funny that you mention persimmons. My husband and I were at Whole Foods on Saturday and saw some persimmons. He thought they were funny looking tomatoes. I have never tasted them. Now I think I will have to buy some and try them. Do you have a favorite receipe for persimmon pudding?
Hi! Just need to let you know 2 things. First, I have been putting lettuce, all veggies, & just about anything I purchase anymore into mason jars & vac-sealing them. I have been doing that for quite a while. Everything lasts sooooo much longer. I use 2 qt. jars quite a bit & just ordered some more the other day b/c you can’t find them anyplace! I actually ordered them thru Ace Hardware & they get del’d to the nearest store, so I don’t need to pay for shipping. When I go that way for other errands I will pick them up. Secondly, I am fairly new to greek yogurt & try to eat it when I can. Since I have about 5 2-qt. jars filled w/salad (they were on sale) I wanted to use a more healthier dressing. I have been going to Weight Watchers so need to be careful. That is how I came across your site last night. I mixed up the Greek yogurt – Balsamic recipe & have eaten it the last 2 nights. Great idea, love it! But was so excited to see you were using the mason jars also. I will def. add you to my ‘Favorites’ list. See ya…
Hi Jody, Sounds like another vacuum-packin’ sister. I don’t put veggies in mine but a lot of people ask me about it. If you have any hints regarding the extras, I would love to see a comment about it on the salad-in-a-jar post so I can refer people to it.
One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to post more salad dressing recipes even though they aren’t very glamorous. Stay tuned.
Thanks for writing. paula
I just enjoyed looking through your recipe list….wow, that is a lot of yummy food!!!
I was thinking about the brownies at the extra special (and delicious) dinner after Granddad’s service. I believe Ann Hastings made the nut-free brownies. They tasted like my favorite brownies from Earl of Sandwich. I would love for you to post that recipe (or just email it to me.) Thanks and keep up the beautiful work!!!!
I just discovered your blog from notmartha.org and I love it!! love the recipes and the commentary that goes along with them..keep up the amazing work
Where is the recipe for smoked sundried tomatoes? I LOVE this place!!
Thanks for keeping such a terrific blog! I found you while looking for ways to turn my homemade yogurt into greek yogurt months ago. Your blog convinced me to invest in a bread machine and it has proved to be one of my best investments. Many of your bread recipes are now staples in my house. I just made your caramelized nuts and they were a huge hit. Thanks so much and keep it coming!
Just found your site and love it (Pinterest). I am eager to begin breadmaking and wanted to know what your fav brands of flour are. Also, fav brand of yeast for the bread machine. Thanks!
Just found your website! I LOVE your recipes! I made my first one last night – the Cheesy Crusted Yeast Rolls – ohmigoodness, they were heavenly! I made them to use with the Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork by Ree Drummond(http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/spicy-dr-pepper-shredded-pork/) I made last night and used the rolls to make “sliders” with the BBQ. What a divine combination! I cannot wait to make more of your recipes! It was super easy to follow and oh so yummy!!!! Kids, teens, and adults all LOVED them!!!! Thank you!!!!
I just made Scooter’s Spaghetti for dinner for my boyfriend of one year. I never cook but that was super easy and extremely tasty!!! Thank you for sharing. My roommate is eager to dig into the leftovers on her lunch break tomorrow since she missed out on our fantastic dinner!
You know I JUST found your blog and I really do find it so interesting. I love the way you make things seem so “duh!” when it comes to eating healthier. I totally make your yogurt now every week FAT FREE now. -smiling- I have to admit today was Apple Butter Day for our family. The hubby and 2 kids help peel a 1/2 bushel of apples to make the butter. Love the bonding it gives the family. Along that note I think you should give the followers (that sounds wierd ,but you know what I mean -smiling more-) a tutorial on something easy and healthy like…..a Crock Pot apple butter. You can do it! Well that is my 2 cents (man I miss the cent sign, yes I am alittle aged) for the day. Regardless of if you do this mission keep up the great work….were watching! -yes smiling-
Thanks Trice, you’ve given me some ideas. Glad you enjoy the yogurt. It’s fantastic, isn’t it. Paula
Hi…just found your site…..WOW! Can’t go wrong here for ideas…..I am trying to convert some of your measurements to English pounds, ounces and metric…..as well as finding an alternative to ingredients I can’t get……It’s going to be nice experimenting with my new breadmaker….ps…thanks for all the tips on using it…brill….keep it up…..maybe cupcake recipies next????? !!!!
Sorry you have to make so many conversions. If I was really cool, I would do it for you but I’m “metric-impaired” so no telling how things would turn out.
Don’t hold your breath on the cupcakes. So many other people are doing those that I may not go there for awhile.
Have fun with your breadmaker! Write back if you run into problems.
