Apple Fritter Bread

October 30, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 5 Comments

As the leaves start to turn and the air becomes crisp here in the South, I start thinking about all those apple orchard field trips I used to go on when my boys were in elementary school. We always came home with a big bag of apples, a jug of fresh cider and some apple fritters. Yum! Now my boys are in high school and there are no apple orchard feild trips to accompany them on, but I still crave

Yorkshire Pudding

October 27, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 22 Comments

Have you ever had Yorkshire Pudding? It originated in England and is traditionally served with roast and gravy. It is so delicious! I grew up on Yorkshire Pudding. My Mom made it as part of our pot roast dinners when I was young. Her mother (our grandma) made it when she was growing up, and when my Mom worked at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton National Park they made it often in the

Browned Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

October 23, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 6 Comments

Last week I traveled to Utah for my sweet daughter-in-law Whitney's baby shower. It was so fun to be there and a part of the celebration of her and the new baby girl that is on the way (coming January 2024). These Browned Butter Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies were one of the cookies I made for the Fall themed shower and they turned out so delicious! I think the key is the browned butter in the batter

Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce

October 19, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Have you ever needed a can of enchilada sauce for a recipe and realize you don't have one? That happened to me and instead of going to the store, I decide it would be easier to just make some homemade red enchilada sauce. I did a little research and was surprised at how easy it is to make, and was surprised at how fantastic it turns out! Honestly, I don't think I will ever go back to buying

Picnic Cake

October 16, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 3 Comments

This Picnic Cake is such a unique, simple to make and incredibly tasty cake. It is an old fashioned recipe with a base of oats. I personally love the combination of chocolate, and cinnamon flavors, it reminds me of Mexican hot chocolate. Of course if you are not a fan of cinnamon you can easily leave it out. I just love it, myself! The best part (other than how easy it is to prepare) is the

Weekly Menu Plan #4

October 14, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

Hello friends, I hope you are having a good weekend.  I am currently in Utah for a baby shower for my first grand daughter (due this January). I am enjoying time with my two sons and their wives and my two darling grand sons, who live "out west" as we say in the South. We  have been baking cookies and rolls for the shower.  We made the Gourmet S'mores Cookies (a family

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
