An American Classic

Baked Beans

I have been making this recipe for Baked Beans for many, many years.
It was a recipe my Grandma gave me when I was a newlywed, way back in the 70's!

My Grandma had torn the page out of a McCall's Magazine.
She reassured me that no one saw her tear it out of the magazine,
while she was sitting in the waiting room at the Doctor's Office..
I can almost see her...
quietly and slowly,
ripping the page out of the magazine..
looking around to make sure no one was watching her,
trying not to make any noise...
folding the paper in half and
quickly putting it in her big purse with the silver clasp.
A practice I've been known to do myself!!

As you can see from the photo,
this recipe has been made many times!

Cherry Date Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Cherry Date Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Everyone loves Cinnamon Rolls and 

I have never meet a Cinnamon Roll I didn't like.

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls are sweet and gooey 

but they also have a nice tangy flavor.  

I have made this recipe before with wonderful results but 

this time I added a Cherry Date Filling...

 Dried cherries, chopped dates, with a jigger or two of Brandy. 

The cinnamon rolls turned out fantastic. 

Wonderfully sweet, nice and tangy, and ooey, gooey from the filling. 

The glaze added another layer of yum.

Kitchen Tip How to Clean Your Coffee Grinder

On the Menu Today~
Coffee!

I prefer to buy whole bean coffee instead of ground coffee.
I think whole bean coffee stays fresher longer and
when you grind your own coffee,
it makes for a better cup of coffee.
