GeorgiaThis week I baked a pound cake. There is nothing fancy about a pound cake. But the memories attached.. Are absolutely priceless. My mama baked pound cakes, my grandmother baked pound cakes and virtually every mom I knew in GA baked pound cake. There are oh so many ways to serve it. But my absolute favorite goes back to my great Uncle Jim. He liked his slightly toasted with chocolate ice cream on top. Thank you Martha Stewart for a simple, classic pound cake recipe Click below for recipe Vanilla Pound Cake Nikita Marie Lemon Meringue Pie AmyThis week I decided to go with savory instead of sweet. Several years ago I was listening to NPR and they were discussing Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette's cookbook. Brother Victor was a monk at a monetary in upstate New York. He did all of the cooking and somehow it caught on. The monastery was doing what all monasteries have been doing all along. Garden-to-table, fresh, local, and seasonal. I'm a huge fan of Brother Victor. Many of his recipes challenge the palette because they aren't full of too many herbs and spices. Appreciate what a vegetable tastes like. I digress! I was perusing one of Brother Victor's cookbooks and found this lovely recipe and decided that I must bake it! Oh, on many of the pages in Brother Victor's cookbooks there are lovely quotes. I will share the one from this page at the end of the recipe. Even if you decide not to bake this, I hope that the quote will bring a smile to your face. The name of the cookbook is Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette Simplicity from a Monastery Kitchen Click below for recipe Roxana four Cheese Puff As God loves a cheerful giver, so He loves a cheerful taker, who takes hold of His gifts with a glad heart. John Donne Happy Sunday!! Amy, Nikita and Georgia |
