I could honestly paraphrase this on my site as well. It’s all about food, my way and how I like it and what it makes me feel.
All that other stuff is just……stuff.

Hi! My name is Amber. This question has NOTHING to do with this homemade yogurt recipe. But my question does have to do with plain yogurt. My husband & I want to make a fruit tart using PLAIN YOGURT, I loved the look of your fruit tarts. They LOOK DELICIOUS!!!!!! yummy yummy yummy~~~~
But also your thing about how you make your fruit tarts dont have measuerments listed( 1/2 tspoon sugar, 8 oz cream cheese). hOw much of each ingredant you you use to make a fruit tart? I have strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas, mango, & a few other fruit also. Any help would be GREATLY apprecatied. Sorry my spelling isnt the greatest. Thanks so Much!

Hello Yasantha,
Here is a link to a fresh fruit pie that Barb makes that is wonderful: http://mysisterskitchen.wordpress.com/2006/07/18/fresh-fruit-pie-recipe-or-method/
If there’s anything else you are looking for, there is a search window–just put in the thing you are searching for (for example: “pizza”) and you will bring up all the recipes we have posted for that thing.
Hope that’s helpful,

I’m looking for Ruby Tuesdays’ White Chicken Chili recipe, but it is no longer listed on the website. Do you have it or know how I can get it?

Hi Kathy, I’ve only eaten at Ruby Tuesdays one time and I have never tried their white chicken chili. I don’t know what, exactly, you’re shooting for, but we both will swear by OUR white chicken chili recipe!

Hi- I love the new look of your site. However, I miss being able to see if there are any new entries. Am I just not seeing it?
May 27, 2008 at 2:43 pm
I’m becoming completely addicted to your site! Well done. I always love seeing new recipes to add to my collection.

I finally found where I left this message! I love the new site set-up, and check back here often for Amish bread ideas. I’ve used many of the recipes so far and maybe I’ll be brave enough one day to give my variations

Do you have a website or any information to purchase Almond Banket? I don’t have the time to make and would love to serve at the holidays.
Many thanks -

Hi Ladies,
I received a speculaas mold for christmas and I have to find the perfect recipe! I thought you might be one good place to start… I’d love to know if you have a favorite.

I don’t have a recipe for speculaas, but if you give me a couple of days, I’ll hunt through my files for a site I found last year that had a great-looking one.

In reply to Shelly who was looking for Almond banket to buy:
Check out Jaarsma Bakery (www.jaarsmabakery.com) where you can purchase many yummy Dutch pastries. I make it a habit to stop by their store when I’m in their area.

I just happened upon your site when looking for a simple and easy brownie recipe on the fly. I just put the best brownie recipe in the oven and can’t wait. (the boys are licking the bowl and spoons clean as I type) So thank you in advance for having exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. I will be looking around at some of your other recipes as well. I love easy and practical things and appreciate you sharing your tried and true picks for the kitchen. Thanks again!

also what I didn’t find here was a recipe for peach jam without pectin.
