By Cooking with Barry & Meta
09/27/12 20:09
It might seem that I am on a muffin mission since may last post was also a muffin post (Apple Crisp Muffins). I am not. Actually, I had no intention to make banana muffins. I did have some overripe bananas that I was going to give to a friend so she could...

Have to admit that for years I turned my nose up at Brussels sprouts. And, then Barry started experimenting and came up with this recipe. I was still skeptical but he said. “Try it, you’ll like it.” I tried them, I liked them, and I’ve been a fan ever since....

By Cooking with Barry & Meta
09/18/12 18:11
Yes, we like breaded and fried okra, but surely there has to be a healthier (and less messy) way to fix it. Then, someone suggested tossing the pods in a little olive oil and roasting them. Barry tried it and we agreed that okra fries are very tasty, and...

By Cooking with Barry & Meta
09/15/12 00:31
The recipe came from my aunt, Waunita Jeffries Bateman. It originally called for solid shortening but my mom, Phyllis Jeffries Newell, changed it to oil as she thought the dough was a bit dry. Barry took one bite of one of these cookies and agreed that...

By Cooking with Barry & Meta
08/30/12 18:37
One of my favorite Russian experiences was vodka tasting. Prior to our trip to Russia (spring 2012), I drank vodka in an occasional Bloody Mary, but other than that, I pretty much avoided the stuff. When is Russia . . . it seemed only natural to embrace...

Centerpiece becomes 1st course — Garden Gazpacho
By Cooking with Barry & Meta
08/23/12 15:44
Chilled gazpacho seemed like a great first course soup, but I also needed a low centerpiece for a small dinner party. And, that’s how soup ended up in juice glasses, lined up in the center of our dining room table. Since we were drinking the soup, I thinned...

Another school year has started . . . without me! Seems impossible that I’ve been out of the AHS classroom for ten years! Elinor Hass has been “retired” for even longer and in August of 1994, she hosted a “back-to-school” luncheon for some of us still on...

By Cooking with Barry & Meta

The best thing about this tart is fresh peaches! It is actually a slight variation of the Hays House pie and is a wonderful way to celebrate summer! Rather than making a pie, I increased the recipe to fit into a 10 ½ “ tart pan, added some chopped almonds...

Refrigerator "Party" Pickles
By Cooking with Barry & Meta
08/14/12 00:37
Forgo the heat and mess of canning, as these are “ice-box” pickles. The idea comes from Carolyn Woefhoff whom I interviewed in May 2010 for my monthly food column in the Abilene Reflector-Chronicle. She “puts them up” in six pint jars that she stores in...
