Welcome


For several years, I have been told by many I should write a blog!

So here I am!

Just Blanche!

I love to cook and bake. I have redeveloped many family recipes and create my own. My family loves to bake and cook! (There will be lots of recipes in my blogs).

 Over the past years, my friends have said that they wish I would write a book! Share my recipes and my take on things that just happen to me and around me!

 I often go to friends' homes (sometimes relatives) and show them how to make recipes! At least 2 times a week I receive texts or calls asking me how to do something cooking wise! I have a friend that has asked me to send her what I making every week (with instructions) for dinner! She is my inspiration for What's For Dinner Tonight blogs!

 With so many asking me how to prepare food items, I decided to finally have Blanche share her cooking/baking skills. I am not a professional cook/baker, but an everyday person cooking, with items we should have in our pantry. Every now and then I splurge and purchase a certain item to add to my pantry. 

 My children ask why (most of the time) everything tastes to good! My response is always the same. It is the secret ingredient I put in all my cooking/baking. We all know it. We all have it. It is love. If you cook/bake with pure joy, than it will taste great! Not everything is always perfect. I (we) learn. Maybe next time add this or that or don't put in as much of this and that. You need to find your take and your taste. 

 No matter what, cook/bake with pure joy and love. Have fun! Get messy! Try new things! Try a new twist on your recipes. Just enjoy!

I hope that as I write, you too will find some humor, sympathy, chime in, try my recipes and cheer me on!

Recently we became a dog family  🐶 We now have a puppy!  He is currently 10 weeks old. I am in love! 💙 My fury little boy. He he is spoiled.... lots of hugs, kisses, toys and of course love! He is eating healthy, per Doctor's orders! He does not get the leftovers from our dinner. He loves sweet potatoes, carrots, potatoes, blueberries, strawberries, plain yogurt, puppacinos and of course doggie ice cream! But, this recipe is for his absolute favorite (so far) dessert- Apple Cinnamon Cookies. 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats 1 cup apple cinnamon applesauce 2 large egg Take 2 cups of oats, put in blender or  food processor. Blend until consistency of flour. Add the oats plus the remaining 1/2 cup flour, applesauce and eggs in a  large bowl.  Mix well. Drop by spoonful onto a parchment lined cookie tray. I shaped mine - Just used the spatula and shaped them.  They should not be too thick for a puppy! Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until lightly gol...

What's For Dinner Tonight? Meatloaf

Image
Some look at meatloaf as boring! That's because, you have never had MY meatloaf! I have been making my meatloaf this way for many years. It started out innocently.  I did not have enough bread to make meatloaf. I thought what could I use to substitute the bread?! The same thing happened one day when I did not have any onions. This recipe was re-vamped twice into this recipe! First start off with 2 pounds of ground beef (any type you prefer), or ground chicken or turkey. Add to the ground meat, 1 large egg. No eggs? Use 1 heaping tablespoon of applesauce! Add 3/4 cup milk (any type). Salt and Pepper to taste. IF you have an onion, chop up 1 small onion and add. No onion?! Add either chopped/mined garlic or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. I use the garlic or garlic powder. I prefer the taste! Now comes the "breading." The thing that changes this meatloaf  from boring old meatloaf to meatloaf that will wow anyone! Crack...
