I am finally back after a much needed break! Not needed for just the reasons I thought…but also due to holidays and an unexpected surgery! That’s right, I got the dreaded appendicitis. I’m just grateful we caught it in time thanks to God’s grace in telling me my feeling of illness was not normal. But,ContinueContinue reading “Dinner at 1800: Pork Chops Bavarian”

Dinner at 1800: Bird’s Nest Pudding
Okay, okay, I admit it. I picked this as much for the name as anything else. Totally worth it to see everyone’s faces as I told them what I was making.

Dinner at 1800: Ginger Snaps
I know, why would I pick something as simple as Ginger Snaps? Well, partially because I’ve never actually made them before, and partially because they looked fun! Technically, the recipe is from The New England Economical Housekeeper published 1847, but I pulled it from Wagon Wheel Kitchens by Jacqueline Williams, which has so much amazingContinueContinue reading “Dinner at 1800: Ginger Snaps”
Dinner at 1800 Tidbits
Why no actual Dinner at 1800 today? Because when this post goes up I’ll be overseas! So, I thought I’d leave you with some interesting facts and clarifications I’ve received from readers about the recipes I’ve made. From Janelle S.: Fried Cakes: [This] was a bit more authentic than you imagined. The livestock they traveledContinueContinue reading “Dinner at 1800 Tidbits”

Dinner at 1800: Sponge Cake
Also, apparently, known as “diet-bread” (wouldn’t that be nice?). Easy, right? One would think. But not the way The Frugal Housewife chose to present it! Honestly, this recipe turned out…but I’m getting ahead of myself. Don’t forget to watch the short version over on Instagram!

The full name is actually Macaroni Pudding a la Parisienne, but that is kind of hard to fit in a subject line. Today’s recipe is from the Harvey House cookbook, and let me tell you, for a Harvey House recipe, there is surprising lack of information. Just wait. you’ll see. Don’t forget to watch theContinueContinue reading “Dinner at 1800: Macaroni Pudding”

Dinner at 1800: Rice Pudding
I know. Rice pudding? Really? Yes, really! And I didn’t let Daniel know what I was making because I wanted to see his face when I placed it in front of him. But, without further ado, let’s get down to it – because this was a fun one to figure out. Oh, and don’t forgetContinueContinue reading “Dinner at 1800: Rice Pudding”
Dinner at 1800: Fricasseed Chicken
I openly admit it – I cheated a little on this recipe. You see, the recipe said to singe the chicken and then cut it into pieces. A google search told me that singing the chicken was to help get the last of the feathers out, so that seemed an unnecessary step. And, although IContinueContinue reading “Dinner at 1800: Fricasseed Chicken”
