Mimi's Recipe Board

We had a version of this at a workshop luncheon a number of years ago and it fabulous!  I've never found the recipe that sounds like the right thing.  It was very creamy with what appeared to be dumplings (?) made from pretzels???  They said I could have the recipe if I gave them an envelope with my address on it.  I did, with a stamp, and have never received the recipe....  Does this sound familiar Read more [...]

...so much since we have the new format.  Don't think for one second that you are not missed around here.  I have such fond memories when I browse my binders and files.  This world is truly filled with wonderful people....and I've met so many of you right here at Mimi's.  And you may not even know how much your presence meant to some of us...  Missing family isn't a good thing!  Please get found!  Read more [...]

I remember last year someone posted a recipe that uses Jello’s pumpkin pudding flavor.  Couldn’t find any then but grabbed some the other day.  Now I can’t find the recipe.  Could someone point me in the right direction.  Many thanks.

I’m curious – do you routinely go through your spices to check for freshness?

How old are they beore you toss them?

Or do you just use them until they are gone and not worry about age?

My spices are in a drawer as far away from the stove as I can get them.  Where do you store yours?

Did we ever come up with a tried and true recipe last year?  I tried a couple and was not happy with the results of them.  Olive Garden's is Mom's very favorite, and I've not been able to duplicate it...not even close.  There are so many recipes that I have no clue which one to try this year.  If anyone has one you love, it would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks again...Happy Fall to everyone....pumpkin time!  Read more [...]

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease about five years ago, and wondered if anyone else here at Mimi’s follows a gluten-free diet.

Maybe there is enough interest if gf recipes for a new chapter in the Cyber-Cookbook?

 Of all the chocolate research out there, the most unabashed tribute to the "dark gold" has to be a study just published in one of the world's most prestigious medical journals.Drum roll, please: The higher a country's chocolate consumption, the more Nobel laureates it spawns per capita, according to findings released today in the New England Journal of Medicine.And guess who leads the pack? The Swiss, Read more [...]
