I’ve noticed that from my younger demographic readers, I get the greatest response when I post my go-to recipes that happen to be nostalgic, “grandma” recipes. Therefore, today I’m sharing a Texas gold-star recipe handed down in many “Lone Star” families, the King Ranch Chicken casserole which originated from the King Ranch itself in South Texas.
I was recently visiting my oldest son’s home for an extended few days, my birthday present! I reveled in cooking and baking their favorites.
I’m the designated pie maker for our family gatherings, especially our traditional Thanksgiving gathering at my second to oldest sister’s home. The location and occasion are a legacy passed down through several generations in our family
The mornings these last few weeks have been divine: temperatures are in the 50s, the wind is an invigorating slight breeze, the storms are held at bay, and my shoulders need a slight shawl. What better weather is there than this to sit on the back porch, watch the dawn rise, and sip on a cup of smooth cappuccino without having to trek to the nearest coffee shop! And I can get my own free instant refills!
Nothing screams fall like warm caramel sauce!
Is your sweet-tooth craving demanding satisfaction but under these COVID-19 restrictions, you can’t run out to buy a treat and you don’t think you have the ingredients on hand to bake?
