Do you know what this vintage cooking tool is? My grandmother had one of these in her kitchen and I watched her use it many times. This kitchen tool is a Strainer Sieve and is used to make jam and tomato sauce.

My grandmother did make tomato sauce and she also made a lot of jelly and jam. She would grow the tomatoes herself and hand-pick the fruits for her jelly from the farm. I have great memories of my grandmother in the kitchen setting out the canning jars ready for filling and storage. In the basement, she had an area where she would store her homemade canned food.

Do you own vintage kitchen tools? If you visit an antique store you will find many vintage kitchen tools and you might wonder what they were used for. I have seen many kitchen tools in antique stores and wondered how they were used. To me, it is very interesting.

Take a look at Country Living's article which features 25 vintage tools you don't see anymore. Maybe you have at least one of these tools in your kitchen.

My Thoughts On Lemon Meringue Pie:

I am always surprised when I hear someone say they don't like lemon desserts or pies. I even love lemon flavor cakes. I had an aunt that ate raw lemons all the time. I don't know how she could do that because I think lemons are too sour by themselves, but I really like lemon flavor in foods. I even like lemon-flavored candy. The sweet and sour taste is good to me.

My Thoughts On Peanut Butter Cookies:

You will enjoy these peanut butter cookies. Here is my opportunity to brag on my youngest daughter again and her baking skills. She makes the best peanut butter cookies.

More Information For You:

A Brief History of Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are a relatively recent addition to the cookie world. While peanuts have been enjoyed for centuries, their transformation into a creamy spread and then a cookie ingredient is a more modern development.

The rise of peanut butter in the early 20th century paved the way for peanut butter cookies. The iconic crisscross pattern on top, often associated with the cookies, is credited to Mary Ellis Ames of Pillsbury in the 1930s. Her recipe, published in "Pillsbury's Balanced Recipes," popularized this distinctive mark.

Peanut butter cookies became a staple in American households during the mid-20th century, offering a delicious and affordable treat. Their simplicity and versatility contributed to their enduring popularity.

National Peanut Butter Cookie Day is June 12th!

Baked Fudge that will make you HAPPY!

Fudge Bake Happiness Recipe

Quote For The Day:

"Nowadays I find chocolate and/or chocolate-based snacks to be great motivators. Everyone loves chocolate. If someone has a lot of work to do, put a piece of fudge in a glass container (so they can see it) and let them know that if they accomplish their tasks, they can eat the fudge. You'll definitely get a reaction!" -Michael Scott

Food For Thought:

The salad I was not happy with!

I was not too long ago I purchased salad on my phone and scheduled to pick it up along with other items I had ordered. I drove to the store and received my items. When I returned home and unpacked my items I noticed the salad did not look the greatest. I was disappointed.

My first thought was to call the store and complain. Then I thought I would leave a bad review. If I had gone into the store myself and handpicked the bag salad I would not have chosen the one they had given me. I wondered why the person who picked the salad for me picked this bag. Were they not paying attention? Did they pick that bag on purpose? What was I going to do about this situation?

I didn't eat the salad. I threw it out. I decided not to complain to the store. I chose not to say anything. I decided to go to the store and pick the bag of salad I wanted next time.

Has this type of thing happened to you before? I hope you have not experienced this. What would you have done in this situation? I am interested in your thoughts about this bag of salad. I think most people would say something but would it do any good? There are many questions that can be asked about this situation and many answers to the questions.

I don't know if I did the right thing or the wrong thing. I think it would have been good to say something about it. As I reflect on this bag of salad I recall many situations in life where something happened that I was not happy with and decided to say nothing. Some things have happened in my past where I did say something because I was unhappy.

I have learned to "pick my battles" in life. When is the right time to say something? When is the wrong time to say something? I believe weighing the cost of saying something is important. What will it cost me to stand my ground on something I believe strongly in? Maybe it will take time? Maybe the person I say something to will retaliate? There is always a cost of some kind.

One thing for sure about me, when I believe so strongly in something, I will raise the issue. What do you think? Can you relate to this situation or similar situations in your life? Your feedback is important to me and I would love to hear from you.

More Questions For You:

• What is your favorite kind of fudge?
• Do you like fudge? 
• Have you made fudge for a friend before as a gift?
• Do you like fudge with marshmallows in it?
• Did you see my recipe from yesterday? It is called Spaghetti Pie Recipe. If you are craving a nice Italian dish, I think you will like this one.

More Information For You:

We are not sure the exact history of fudge but it is delicious and had been around for a very long time. It is rumored that fudge came from America. Fudge gets its name from the creation process. The earliest known origin fact about the creation of fudge comes from Marland. You can learn 15 interesting facts about fudge by visiting MENTAL FLOSS here.

Thoughts On Fudge Bake Happiness:

I live near a place that makes lots of fudge. I love going into the fudge store and looking at all of the fudge. I love the different flavors of fudge the store has. Each fudge has its own incredible look and taste. When I think of fudge I think of the holidays. Maybe because a lot of fudge is made around Christmas time. When you hear the word "fudge" what comes to your mind?

Fudge Browinies

My youngest daughter makes the best fudge brownies. Her brownies have a thick rich layer of fudge on top. It is not an icing. It is a fudge and a good mix of fudge and brownie. She sold her fudge brownies and other baked goods at a local Farmer's Market. She almost always sold out at the market.

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake Easy Recipe

Quote For The Day:

“The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.” – Julia Child

Food For Thought:

July 4, 2024

I hope you had a great Independence Day! I had a great day. We didn't have any fireworks but it was easy to enjoy the fireworks that other people were shooting off in the area. Our kids are grown and aren't that interested in fireworks and the little grandbabies are too little at this time to feel safe and enjoy fireworks.

It is a blurry picture I shared of our meal and I apologize for that. I will describe it to you. It is a tradition in our household to cook barbecue bologna on the grill once a year. I usually have it sliced at the deli 1-inch thick. We use cole slaw as a topping on the barbecue bologna sandwich. We had beef hotdogs too. For the sides, potato salad, barbecue baked beans, and barbecue potato chips. It was a great family time and good food. The grandbabies colored with crayons on paper and decorated their creations with stickers.

A Few Questions For You:

• What was your meal for the 4th of July?
• Do you consider dump cake a dessert, pastry, or both?
• Did your day include fireworks?
• Have you had Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake before?
• What did you have for dessert on the 4th of July?
• Did you see my recipe yesterday? It is called the Stuffed Meatballs Recipe. Take a look and leave a comment on the recipe. I would like to read your thoughts on any recipe.

Extra Information For You:

Rule #1: NEVER mix a dump cake! That is the biggest mistake when making dump cakes. Its name is signature in that you simply dump the cake mix in the baking pan. It is difficult to pinpoint the first published dump cake recipes, but they became trendy in the 50s and 60s in America. Recipes for dump cakes began showing up as early as the 1920s. You can visit MASHED and read their article called The Fascinating History Of The Dump Cake.

My Thoughts On Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake:

My grandmother would make dump cakes in the past. She always enjoyed sharing her cakes and recipes. She would always mention how easy it was to make. Dump cakes and cobblers can always be a hit at any gathering and they were always present at my family reunions. This cherry pineapple dump cake recipe is a favorite because I love the tangy sweetness of cherry and pineapple. If you are looking for something sweet and quick, this is it!

Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake Easy Recipe - (Desserts)

Ingredients:

• 1 can cherry pie filling
• 1 can crushed pineapple
• 1/2 to 3/4 box white or yellow cake mix
• 1 stick butter or margarine (1/4 pound)
• Pecan halves

Instructions:

Combine the cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple in the bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the cake mix over the pie fillings. Slice the butter or margarine very thin over the top of the cake mix. Place the pan in a 375-degree oven and wait until the butter or margarine is melted. Remove the pan from the oven and place the pecan halves in rows on top of the cake. Return the pan to the oven and bake until juice cooks through the batter, and the top is golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven; cool and serve.

Quote For The Day:

"Cakes are special. Every birthday and every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories." - Buddy Valastro

My Thoughts For Today:

Jalapeno Cheddar Loaf

My oldest daughter just keeps on blessing us with her sourdough bread. This loaf of bread is Jalapeno Cheddar Loaf. It tastes wonderful. She made a nice swirl design on top for a great presentation.

I told her she might consider making a Facebook page to sell her sourdough bread. I am not sure of the local prices for loaves of sourdough bread but I would easily pay $10 for a loaf of this. It is worth it in my opinion. She has been making sourdough bread for some time now and she shares them with us. People love this bread and they would rather purchase it from bakers instead of making it themselves.

Do you like sourdough bread? I have some strawberry preserves that will go well with this bread. We have sliced this sourdough bread into sandwich slices and it makes great sandwich bread. The spicy jalapenos along with the cheddar cheese that's in it compliments the sliced meat we eat.

My daughter currently has a TikTok page you can visit to see all her videos. See her TikTok page called Kristin Loves Jesus.

Some Questions For You:

• Do you like sourdough bread?
• Does my Brown Sugar Pound Cake recipe look good to you?
• Have you tried making sourdough bread or pound cake before? Here's a great baking pan for pound cake.
  
• Did you read my recipe that was posted yesterday? It is called Lamb Curry Recipe and if you are craving Indian food it is a great one to try. I would love to read your thoughts on it.

More Information For You:

History shows that Brown Sugar Pound Cake came out of Northern Europe. A recipe was first published in 1747. An American recipe was published in 1796. Since then, there have been many variations of the pound cake. Later an Indian pound cake recipe was created. You can learn more about Brown Sugar Pound Cake and its history by visiting here.

Thoughts On Brown Sugar Pound Cake With Walnut Glaze:

This recipe is a great blend of brown sugar and walnuts in this Old-Fashion cake. The glaze recipe is wonderful! You can use a bundt cake pan or a fluted cake pan. Either one will turn out nice. I like using a bundt cake pan because it makes it nice to cut the perfect portion.

I enjoy a nice cup of coffee with my Brown Sugar Pound Cake. What beverage do you like with your cake? Many people enjoy a glass of milk.
