National Cherry Popover Day
Popovers are the American version of Yorkshire pudding
~~~an egg batter that puffs up and over when baked
in a muffin tin. They work great
with a sweet or savory topping!
Stovetop Suppers
Stovetop Suppers...
Quick & easy recipes that only use one pot, pan or skillet!
We need YOUR recipes when schedules are busy, the time to make good, wholesome dinners often can be cut short...SHARE your best single-skillet meals. Stovetop Suppers...not only is each one super-simple, but one pan, pot or skillet means less clean-up but more time to spend with family & friends.
Ratings & Reviews:
**** I just realized that I hadn't rated this!
This is wonderful! I love having the control
over the fattines of the turkey as well as the
spicyness. My only change is adding poultry
seasoning, which I love, and I usually don't
need olive oil since the turkey I generally use
is 93% fat free. This has become a family
staple. I do up to 3 pounds at a time and then
freze it to have on hand for pizza or to throw
into sauces or soups/stews.
Fabulous!! Four star rating!

no oven required!

Cooking Up Our Family History
Almost every family has a treasured recipe, beloved as much for the memories it evokes of family get-togethers or a special family member, as it is for its taste. Most families have many such recipes, handed down through generations, taught to children, or squirreled away on index cards or scraps of paper.
A wonderful gift for family & friends, a family recipe book is a wonderful way to combine favorite family dishes with memories of treasured family moments and members. Together we will turn those family culinary favorites into actual family cookbooks.
