Good Recipes

 

I tried to get all artsy and on a snowy day took a picture from the outside of the room that I use for a library...looking in.  But all I can see in this photo is a window frame that is SORELY in need of a coat of paint!  It is at times like this when I am so glad that it is still winter, and outdoor chores are months away...

My mother is a great cook, and an inspired baker.  I can use one of her recipes and follow it exactly, but my attempts to duplicate her cooking are mediocre at best.  So I am always looking for ways to improve.

I stumbled upon this website one day when I was looking for a recipe for egg salad for sandwiches.  It is called, "How To Cook Like Your Grandmother" and you can get the blog entries of recipes sent directly to your email.  The address is http://cooklikeyourgrandmother.com or just google it by searching for How To Cook Like Your Grandmother.

What I like about this blog is that the recipes are relatively easy, and there are step by step pictures in case you get sidetracked.  For us visual learners, the pictures are a big deal.

The recipe up for today is "Deconstructed Cannoli for Valentine's Day".  The only thing that I know about cannoli is that I heard them mentioned in the "Godfather" movie...but if I can figure out where to buy pizzelles I just might give them a try! DLB
