August, 2025

I miss Bed Bath & Beyond. I’m keeping my coupons just in case… 🤞Here’s what I made this week:

• Whole wheat no knead bread
• Pan-fried turkey meatballs + salad
• Spinach pesto (for the meatballs & pasta)
• Taco Casserole with steamed beets

• Granola bars
• Pumpernickel bread (my husband’s favorite)
• Taco salad
• Oatmeal muffins

The kitchen is my happy place so here is what I made this week:

• Pizza on a pizza stone + salad
• Apple bread
• Salmon salad for sandwiches
• Deviled eggs
• Turkey chili + salad
• No knead crusty rolls (for the chili)
• Marble loaf cake

• Taco salad
• Granola bars
• Spaghetti with spinach + salad
• Salmon patties with rice and steamed vegetables
• Dark chocolate cashew clusters
• Crispy oat cookies

I haven’t had a cold or flu in over 50 years. Hmmm… I wonder if it’s the home cooking? 🙂

This is my most treasured cookbook, the one I learned how to cook with. It was published in 1968 and is still a classic today. I often refer to it and this time, I came across an old recipe for prune whip. I see a lot of people ask about how to make prune whip so I took a picture of the recipes (2 actually, one stovetop and one baked) and am posting them here for anyone who wants to make old fashioned prune whip, or maybe can use this recipe as a base for your own creation.

Prunes provide more than just fiber. They are full of nutrients like potassium, iron, vitamins B6 and K, lots of polyphenols, and boron for bones. Enjoy!
