It has been very hot and dry in Oklahoma, but yesterday we got a little bit of rain and the temperatures dropped significantly. And it’s still that way today and supposed to stay that way all week.
So these cool temperatures feel very refreshing

We’ve taken down the feeders and sterilized them and stored away away till next spring
I’m pretty sure I have shared this nut bread recipe before.
It’s a very simple recipe that takes no time at all to mix up, but it does take a little while to bake
It’s delicious, even though it has only 1/3 cup of sugar and no added fat. it’s not fat-free because there is a little bit of fat in the nuts and the egg.
it is a very tasty bread, we especially enjoy it lightly toasted.
I’ve been keeping my recipes in big notebook binders for several years. But I don’t really like having that big notebook out on the counter when I’m cooking. It just takes up so much room.
So I’ve been writing my favorite recipes on recipe cards.
My recipe box is old.
I remember two of my children painting it, and putting on the rub-on Decals, I think it would have been around 1992 or 1993.
One of them also made the divider cards. The tabs were taped on and have come loose. But the cards are special to me, so I used some laminating sheets and covered those special divider cards.
it looks rather grubby in the photos, but I assure you it is clean- just old
We like hashbrowns for breakfast and I usually use leftover baked potatoes.
One of our grandsons is a big fan of hash browns. Sometimes his sleepovers here are spontaneous and I don’t have cooked potatoes on hand.
I saw these Hungry Jack hash browns on a Youtube cooking show. They are a shelf stable pantry item. To prepare, add hot water to the box, drain after 12 minutes, then fry in 2 tablespoons oil for 6 minutes.
I think these will be a nice breakfast addition when that grandson is here.
This box with 7 servings was about $2 at Walmart. I also saw a 5 ounce serving box for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
For a pantry item, these hashbrowns are great!
Sewing ——- my daughter requested new potholders, so I sewed up a stack of them for her
their doggy is a little black dog, not really a dachshund, but she looks somewhat like the dogs on this fabric.

The recipe box is a precious memory! I love it. The hashbrowns are tempting me. I never do anything to potatoes except bake with meat, but those look delicious. I should make potholders.
ReplyDeleteI love the little recipe box. It just looks well used with love!
ReplyDeleteOld recipe boxes are such a treasure. I've had the same one since the early 90s as well. Very cute potholders!
ReplyDeleteThe nut bread looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing the recipe. The way the children set up and decorated your recipe box is so precious! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThat nut bread recipe is exactly my muffin recipe that I have used for 40 years except I use SR flour. You can take the basic recipe and add a cup of fruit and bake it as muffins and they are delicious. I had never thought of adding nuts for a nut muffin or to bake it as a loaf. They are also good plain to have a quick supper addition. I have shared and shared that recipe over the years.
ReplyDeleteThat recipe box is a treasure. I have my mother's. No idea how old it is, but it's tucked into a cupboard, still full of her recipe cards. I should get that out for Layla.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get some of those hash browns. I usually use frozen, but it would be great to not have it use freezer space.
The bread looks yummy!
Love your little recipe box! I have two old recipe boxes, but got them from vintage stores. I currently keep my paper recipes in one of those portable file keepers that has folders in it. I have the folders organized by category.
ReplyDeletePrecious memories. Love the fabric for those pot holders, and it does look quite a bit like their dog.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Those potholders are precious and looks like their dog!! What do you use for the lining? Love your recipe box!
ReplyDeletethank you Susan
