Let’s make a birthday cake without an oven. My sister-in-law, Heidi, brought this recipe back from a Colorado ranch she worked on in the summers. This is so easy to do in your dutch oven. Plus, you can bake it in a 9 x 13 pan at 350° and get great results as well. Let’s [...]

Stir Crazy Cake
Posted on28. Feb, 2010 by Kate.
This recipe comes from a cookbook compiled for the Sonberg family reunion held in 1999. I love recipes from these kinds of cookbooks for a few reasons. One being that people typically send their best and favorite recipes. Secondly, the stories behind them. The note with this recipe reads: “This is kinda interestin’ to fix, [...]

Hasty Pudding

Let’s get started.
Mix together to make a paste:

Once the water is [...]

Maybe you’re like me and are inundated with zucchini about now. Understand I’m not complaining. I’m actually grateful that our zucchini is living up to its reputation. In years past I would pick one maybe two zucchini and wait two days–yes two whole days–before another zucchini was ready. So when I checked the zucchini a [...]

A friend from college introduced me to this delicious summer evening dessert. I’m so glad to get this recipe typed up and off of the stained and folded half-sheet of paper stowed in my recipe box. Here’s what you’ll need:

Place cupcake liners in muffin tin. Place one vanilla wafer [...]

A couple of months ago my husband and I went to Las Vegas. I left three of my children with a sister in-law who made this for them. When I picked them up the first thing my ten-year-old son said was, “Mom, Stacy has a recipe you need.” Later that night my then seven-year-old daughter [...]

I am the mother of five learning to live in the country surrounded by in-laws. I've been married to the amazing Nate Palmer for 15 years; he is teaching me how to be a farm girl in between chasing children, cooking dinner, and doing laundry. In my spare time (okay--time I try really hard to set aside), I like to write.
