We like this so much that the first few years we were married, this was the first meal we served to any guest.
Braised Beef Tips
Molasses Cookies
A favorite, special cookie our neighbor, Marilyn shares with us over the holidays. The recipe is slightly vague, but if you have made cookies before, adjusting the amount of flour to your preference is easy. I kept the recipe mostly as written, because that is part of its charm.
Cornmeal Raisin Bread
I do not remember when I was given this recipe from Mom M. If you use yellow corn meal, the bread will have a light yellow tint.
Megan thinks it tastes like hot cross buns but without the icing.
Grandma Bea’s Sour Milk Cupcakes
Grandma Bea gave me this recipe many years ago. I was in Boston at the time and must have asked how to use up some sour milk we had.
For some reason, these cupcakes stick to cupcake liners. You can use them if prefer, but it is better to bake these in unlined muffin pans that have been greased and floured with cocoa powder.
The cupcakes are good plain or lightly glazed.
