Easy Plum Clafoutis

I made a clafoutis before from cherries and apples. Plums sounded like they would be amazing.I found a recipe on Epicurious.com I followed the recipe except that I used Half and Half instead of whole milk. I baked mine in an iron skillet. Ingredients 1 tablespoon butter 8-10 medium plums (I used 4 sliced, not halved) 1/2 cup plus 3 TB sugar (original is...

Ninja Foodi Rosemary Lemon Chicken

I purchased two organic chickens (9.5 lbs, 2-pk) from SamsClub this week. For the first one I followed a great recipe. The gravy was delicious. It was from The Salty Pot blog. It needed more cooking time. I will increased the pressure cook this time. Ingredients 1 whole chicken (wash and pat dry) 4 cups water or chicken broth or...

Yummy Grahams

Most Graham cracker recipes call for graham flour or whole wheat + wheat bran. I do not buy wheat bran unless I am eating it frequently because it goes bad too soon (rancid). I thought I had whole wheat flour. I did. However, it was out of date and smell off (rancid). Knowing that the point of inventing Graham crackers...

Fresh Plum Cake (Pflaumenkuchen and Zwetschgenkuchen)

I was following the family recipe until I wasn’t. We only make the cake on an autumnal Connecticut day. However, we rarely have that day in New Orleans.

Melanie’s (Mel’s) Brownies

For every event that Melanie was invited to, the hope and expectation was that she would bring her famous brownies. Sadly, we lost Melanie this April (2020). All I know about the brownies is that she used 1/4 cup real almond extract. You may use the most inexpensive box mix. I use Costco’s Ghiradelli Triple Chocolate Brownie mix. I replaced...

Sourdough Bread

With or without bread machine I got my sourdough starter during the 2019 winter holiday season from CulturesforHealth. I started with regular (San Fransisco) sourdough but feed it with rye flour when I have it. In CT, where I grew up, we had the best pizza and the best breads. Bread flavor is in part credited to the regional water....
