It’s cold outside and now would be a good time to have a nice warm treat. Maybe a slice of warm homemade bread or a cup of tea and a handful of quick no bake cookies. The first recipe is my Grandma Lawson’s Cottage Cheese Bread. And no, it doesn’t taste like cottage cheese. Another […]
I plan on making a batch of this for some freezer meals this week. This recipe was given to me by a friend, Terry Martin, when we were at OBC together. Three families from my local church made the trek from Indiana to Joplin, MO to attend Bible college. There was Jim and Paulette and […]
One of my comfort foods when it gets cold is chili. I can’t make chili just for a couple people. No matter what I do, I always end up with a huge kettle full by the time I quit adding ingredients. But that’s okay. Chili is always better the second day and it freezes well. […]

Not really, but it will be soon. Pumpkins are part of our autumn season. Harvest. Halloween. Thanksgiving. The Rockville Covered Bridge Festival. Today I’m going to share two of my recipes for pumpkin bread. These recipes are from the ladies of Casa Grande, Arizona. These come from the book that my friend Jeannie Vestal gave […]
