  eecarey - this book was indexed before we started adding eggs as a non-pantry ingredient - also with brown sugar - we only index if it is over a certain amount.

  This book is all over the place - recipes are listed by state, A to Z, so if you don't know what you are looking for, you might never find it. If, however, you are enamored with the kinds of dishes served at your favorite BnB, this will be a treasure trove of inspiration.

  Recommended recipes by eating joy: This morning, I'm highlighting some of the most visited recipes (favorites of mine): Arkansas-Bridgeford Cottage (Eureka Springs) Pineapple Sheet Cake, p. 18 A one bowl cake that comes together in minutes. Topped with rich cream cheese frosting. Bakes in 25 mins. We've used canned crushed pineapple, fresh, ripe diced pineapple, add pineapple bits to the frosting and always enjoy the cake more the 2nd or 3rd day. Oh! and we enjoy the cake more when chilled. Maine-The Wild Rose of York (York)- Pfannkuchen German Crepes, p. 148 We make these the night before for breakfast. Warm in a dry pan in the morning fill with jam, fruit, Nutella or just as is. Maine-High Meadows (Eliot)-Roquefort Cheese Soup, p. 134 Super flavorful and wonderful served with grilled fish (yes fish!) California-Mayfield House (Tahoe City) - Sweet Potato Muffins, p. 57

  There is literally a recipe for everything in this book - oftentimes several variations for a single idea. All very down to earth and easy. I use it constantly!

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Chocolate coated cherry-ettes

  • mfsgemini on February 07, 2024

    These are not too sweet. Added 1/2 cherry on top of chocolate. Did 18 min. Maybe a min or two longer next time.

• Cheesy egg casserole

  • Mtbike5280 on April 21, 2024

    This was an excellent dish but I modified it by only using 8 ounces of Monterey Jack cheese. I would highly recommend this, as it had plenty of cheese and still allowed you to taste the egg. The edges made a nice crust that provided texture to the bite.

• Chocolate chip banana muffins

  • Aesale on April 13, 2026

    I’ve been making these for years and they are always a hit!!!!

• Breakfast casserole 1

  • MidwesternerTT on August 18, 2017

    Flavorful combo, with mushroom/sour cream sauce poured on part-way thru baking.. A half recipe in an 8 x 8 pan yielded 6 large servings. I used whole-grain bread, skim milk and lower-fat sour cream but this is still a calorie-rich dish. Substitutions for canned items: I made a microwaved small-batch home version of condensed cream of mushroom soup equivalent to half-can, using 2 fresh mushrooms finely chopped, butter, flour, skim milk, garlic salt, celery salt and dried minced onion. I added 4 sliced fresh mushrooms to that instead of the half-can.

• Rhubarb jam 1

  • Clval on June 28, 2024

    Super easy, very tasty. I subbed black cherry gelatin in one batch, might be my favorite. Also did raspberry gelatin in another, very good too.

• Rhubarb crumble

  • Mtbike5280 on April 20, 2024

    First rhubarb recipe of 2024. This recipe is easy to make and has a robust rhubarb flavor. The rhubarb cooks down and brings all the crumble ingredients together. Great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• Old-fashioned pancakes

  • Mtbike5280 on April 20, 2024

    A classic pancake mix that is quick to prepare. I added blueberries on top of the batter after pouring them out onto the griddle. Good bite and a solid pancake.

• Iced Victorian tea

  • DKennedy on October 13, 2017

    Sweetened with apricot nectar and alcohol. Cut with seltzer.

• Meatballs for a Santa watch

  • eecarey on December 19, 2021

    I usually double up on the sauce recipe, so I can make the meatballs as a meal with rice and a salad or veggies. I've been making these since my kids were little, and they ask me to make them every year. They are now they're in their 40s! Add more hot sauce if you really like it spicier. This is a sweet & spicy appetizer otherwise, but oh so good.

  • eecarey on December 27, 2022

    Add to ingredients- BROWN SUGAR!!!

  • eecarey on December 27, 2022

    Whoever indexed the ingredients forgot to list (3) Eggs for the meat mix and (2T) Brown Sugar for the sauce.

• Chocolate almond pie

  • kateiscoooking on February 17, 2024

    This recipe was VERY poorly written. The instructions did not include the evaporated milk so I added it anyway. And, the crust didn't begin to stick together. We served it as chocolate pudding with almond crumbles and it was great. But, if you want a pie be prepared to majorly modify the crust portion of the recipe!

• Colonial muffins

  • djnielsen64 on December 30, 2023

    Made them as a loaf. Tasty.
