Welcome to round 2 of Easter cake! In this round we each take a shot at trying to change and/or modernize the original recipe in some way. As I said at the end of round 1, we are free to research again and when creating a round 2 recipe, the sky is the limit. So, […]
As many of you may know, From Angie’s Kitchen is a recurring segment on the blog where Ray and I attempt to decipher a book of recipes handwritten by his grandmother in her youth. As with many things from a hundred years ago, it is not always easy to figure out what terms may have […]
Welcome to round two of brownies from Angie’s kitchen. Last week we followed my grandma’s recipe to the letter as we do in round one – or as close to the letter as we possibly can given the occasional set of esoteric directions! For round two, we get to research ideas and we can alter […]
It’s been a while since we visited Angie’s Kitchen, so we thought starting the New Year with another attempt of deciphering Angie’s book of recipes would be fun.

“Angie baby, you’re a special lady, living in a world of make believe…” That song is stuck in my head today. Only, it’s not Angie living in a world of make believe, it’s me! I thought that I would be able to breeze into the kitchen and throw this little recipe of hers together, no […]
Round 2…. The rules for this round are slightly different – in round one we tried our best to follow the recipe as written without comparing thoughts on how it should be done. After we finished, we talked about our findings and we were each free to make any changes to the recipe that we […]
Round 1. Let’s get started!
