This is truly an old-fashioned dessert. It’s homey and comforting. It’s also delicious. It’s a basic recipe, you’ll be able to find elsewhere. This is from my mother’s recipe file, though delicious, I couldn’t resist updating it…just a bit. Continue reading

I love tomato sandwiches. When the tomatoes are bursting with flavor, falling off their vines and are in great abundance, The Goddess is in heaven.

In my last posting, I mentioned using cinnamon in a savory manner. So here we are….
In centuries past, like a lot of spices, cinnamon was traded by the Arabs (remember the infamous spice route?). The Moors were in the Iberian peninsula for over 700 years, bringing with them many flavors and products previously unknown to that part of the world, cinnamon being one of them. Continue reading

I love, love, love cinnamon…okay, it’s out there. I’ve admitted my addiction to it. I love the flavor and the aroma conjures up all sorts of wonderful childhood memories from both my own childhood and the memories I have of when our sons were small. Continue reading
