I’m all shook up! Remember these these famous lines of Elvis’ song “I’m All Shook Up” ♫I’m in love I’m all shook up Mm mm mm mm, ya, ya, ya,♫ Well, you will be going mmm, mmm, after eating these potatoes; and they are all shooked up. My mother use to make two types of potatoes that we really liked as kids. One was these “shooked” potatoes and the other potato recipe (no recipe at all) was called “stewed” potatoes. Let me tell you about the Stewed Potatoes first. First, you have to […] by Sherry on January 26th, 2019 
Broccoli gone skinny! Or broccolini. So, what do you do when you are snowed in or it’s just too cold to get outside? Well, I tend to do one of several things. Wrap up in a blanket, pop some popcorn and start binging on Hallmark movies. Or, I start organizing drawers (after I watched “Tidying Up” series on Netflix); or I start cooking or looking for something new to post. Well this past week it was cold in Texas; and I don’t mean a foot of snow on the ground and subzero temperatures cold. I have to say 40’s […] by Sherry on November 16th, 2018 My Israeli dates made a wonderful salad. I didn’t expect to see so much agriculture in Israel but we saw field after field of dates, olives, pomergrantes, and limes. All of their fields have drip irrigation; I guess that explains growing in the dessert. Our first day of our tour (or I guess third if you count the two days getting there), we had rain the night before. It was their first rain in seven months and the morning ride on the bus still had us being sprinkled on — what did we see? The most beautiful, vivid rainbow […] by Sherry on August 30th, 2018 
Michigan corn! On a recent, very long, road trip (3,500 miles) to see our son and family in Chicago I bought corn. So the trip started from Texas and stopping in Missouri for a few days and Chicago for a few days we made our way north around the lake. Did you know that it is 1,000 miles around Lake Michigan? We had to deal with 4 hours of rain leaving Texas, then another 4 hours the day we left Missouri and guess what, another 4 hours of rain driving up the Wisconsin side of the lake before getting […] by Sherry on May 7th, 2018 
So, what’s so good about these refried beans? What’s so good about these refried beans? Well, they are homemade. When I was on a girl’s trip last September we had lunch one day at Rancho De Chimayo in Chimayo, NM. This restaurant won a James Beard award in 2016 so I knew when I read that and we were going to Chimayo we had to eat there. We had lunch before visiting the historic village of chimayo which dates back to 17th century and that’s where I first bought blue corn cornmeal that I made these Blue Corn Muffins. […]  |
