I treasure all of my thrifted recipe boxes, especially this little lovely that came chock-full of rhubarb recipes!! Last night, I picked one to make because we had just enough rhubarb in the house to make one of the recipes that caught my eye.

This old-fashioned rhubarb dessert is credited to “Steve’s sister” 🥰and let me tell you — it’s DELIGHTFUL.

The magic? A sprinkle of cherry Jell-O (you could use 🍓too) over the fruit filling, giving it a velvety, sweet-tart finish. Just one more reason I love these timeworn, handwritten recipes. 💕

Nore: We added a few strawberries to equal 3 cups of fruit. And, we made it gluten-free with Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking flour and it turned out great!

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…

Not a wedding—just me playing dress-up with my vintage cookbooks 💕 This little styling moment brought together a few of my favorite things: my collection of weathered classics (including my mom’s Pillsbury Family Cook Book from her newlywed days), a borrowed beauty of a vintage scale from the lovely @bettys.antiques.stp and a pop of blue from a few recent cookbook finds.

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice long relaxing wee

Hope everyone is enjoying a nice long relaxing weekend! I shared the recipe for this zesty little “spaghetti salad” on my Substack today. It hails from one of my thrifted recipe boxes (credited to TOOTS 🤣) and has become one of my go-to dishes for summer potlucks and backyard BBQs. What are your favorite Memorial Day dishes?! 🍉☀️😎🌭🍔🥗

Straight from the pages of one of my vintage church cookbooks—this bacon tip is heavenly (and the only way I am making bacon from now on)! 😉

While flipping through those old-school “Helpful Hints” sections (my fave part!), I found a new trick that gives bacon the crispiest, crunchiest texture—almost like it’s deep-fried—and it doesn’t curl up as much.

Toss bacon with a little flour, then bake at 400°F for 20 min on a wire rack. Game-changer! 🥓

If you try it, let me know what you think!

It's true. Good things come in 9 x 13 pans.

I wrote about one of my mom's many signature treats on my Substack today: Chocolate Peanut Butteroos! Link in my stories. 😘

It’s not perfect🤪 but I attempted to make potica this week and am LOVING it slathered with butter alongside my morning coffee.

This is just one of the many heirloom recipes that will be in my cookbook out next spring—it’s from a true Iron Ranger whose family has been making this Slovenian bread for several generations. I cannot wait to share these recipes and the sweet stories behind them! Stay tuned!! 😘

My collection of vintage recipe boxes may be getting a little out of hand 🤪… but I finally found the perfect shelf to display them! It’s actually meant for teacups and saucers (shoutout to my clever cousin Heidi for the idea!), but it works like a dream for my boxes—and even holds the sweet old nut grinders I inherited from my mom. Now everything’s easy to reach and it adds a little extra charm to my kitchen. Who else is addicted to vintage kitchen treasures?

Is it even Easter without cheesy potatoes?!

I’ve been working on a new recipe for my upcoming cookbook that combines three different family recipes for this favorite Midwest holiday staple, including my grandma’s secret topping ingredient. Hint: it’s not cornflakes. 😉

Hope you have a great Easter that’s full of fun, friends & family and cheesy potatoes!!
