Happy Thanksgiving 2018! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with family, food, friends and fun. However, the reality is not all are as fortunate especially this year with so much sadness and loss surrounding us, and closely affecting so many. Our feelings of gratitude are even more profound as we recognize what others are…

Sheila’s Banana Cream Pie
I promised to post the recipe for this Banana Cream Pie which was part of my 2017 Thanksgiving dessert buffet. And since I’m becoming more proficient at typing with one hand now it seems a good time to share it with you. Good cream pies are a favorite of mine, particularly banana and coconut. This Banana…
Thanksgiving 2017
This Thanksgiving we were fortunate to have my sister and brother seated at our table as well as our children. They came for a visit, spending several days in LA before driving to San Luis with our son and daughter-in-law on Thanksgiving Day. They have each visited Slo before, but this is the first Thanksgiving…
Double Apple Pie
Better late than never…so here is the recipe for the Double Apple Pie I served at Thanksgiving this year. But please don’t wait until Thanksgiving to make this! It’s that good! Vodka in the pastry makes for a very flaky crust! Wanted to get this up before we move into Hanukkah, Christmas and 2017! Double…
Louisiana Bread Pudding and Whiskey Sauce
As promised, here is the easy recipe for the luscious and so comforting Louisiana Bread Pudding and Whisky Sauce, one of the desserts I offered at our Thanksgiving feast this year. I made it for years every Thanksgiving when we were living in Chicago, but once we moved to Maryland I don’t recall making it for…
Ruth’s Angel Biscuits
Biscuits are not one of my favorite things. However, they are a favorite of my older son, and when I asked if he had any requests for our Thanksgiving dinner this year he suggested biscuits. Accommodating as I tend to be, especially if it is a food request, and even moreso if it is a…
Thanksgiving 2016
I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! It was a very special Thanksgiving at our home this year! Our sons and their girlfriends, fiancees, wives (yes!) were seated at our table! This past year both couples were married, and we feel truly blessed to welcome our daughters-in-law as official members of our family. We couldn’t be…
Pumpkin Bread Re-revisited!
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching I made my annual batch of pumpkin bread. Because it freezes so well I could scratch one item off the list for Thanksgiving weekend. While the original recipe calls for making it in a loaf pan, I have also made it in a square pan when necessity…
Thanksgiving 2015
All that remains of Thanksgiving 2015 are the memories and photos of a wonderful day spent celebrating with our sons, their fiancees and my brother from Chicago who was with us this year. Even the leftovers have disappeared, and space can be found in the fridge and freezer once again. Our Thanksgiving buffet photos are…
Chicken Waldorf Salad
There is nothing better than Thanksgiving left-overs! And we had our share of them this past week. The last of the cranberry sauce and a small container of sliced turkey, stuffing and gravy found a home in my freezer neatly tucked away for some evening in the future when I don’t feel like cooking. Between…
