JJ's Waldorf Salad

Tweet

The Waldorf salad may be over a century old, but even today, it remains a timeless American classic. The apple and walnut salad was first created in the late 1800s at New York's legendary Waldorf Astoria Hotel. My first encounter with a true Waldorf Salad was in Home Economics. My Mother had a version of it that was popular in the 60's, that involved "Dream Whip"! Do any of you remember Dream Whip? It of course was sweet and my Mom loved her sweets. We had Waldorf Salad with Dream Whip about once a week!

"Lactation" Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Tweet

These muffin's are moist and delicious, similar to carrot cake but with a Fall flavor. The rich cream cheese frosting will also remind you of carrot cake — which isn't a bad thing! Make sure you toast the walnuts before using them; toasting brings out their nutty essence. All in all simply delicious!
 

These muffins can be made without the "Lactating element", I give you the swap! However, I have so many nursing Mom's coming to my blog

In the last couple of years, I’ve discovered the world of salted caramel, and boy that has taken my sweet tooth to an entire new level!!

National Taco Day!

I have been a taco fanatic since I was a youngster. I remember begging my Mom to let me prepare dinner, and I would make tacos. My two older brother's loved my tacos too! I'm not sure when I started loving them so much, but, I remember when out with Mom and she asked where should we have lunch? My answer was always, "Taco Time"!
