Rootie Tootie Cake and Fruit Compotes | Notecook


Our moms used to love to cook, that’s what folks claim when they talk about the huge spreads our mothers laid on the table. And maybe it’s true. I tend to think our moms didn’t have the advantages of boxed mixes and ready to cook fruits and vegetables that we have today. They had no other choices than spending hours in the kitchen preparing meals from scratch. Thank goodness, that’s not true today. We can buy a box of cake mix or a bag of frozen fruits or vegetables and make just about any dish we like in a short time. But just in case we didn’t have time to shop and company is coming, hurry up and bake the Rootie Tootie cake below while hubby runs out and buys some fruit and wine.

It’s Time to Talk Turkey | Notecook


Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to talk turkey. What size turkey should you buy, for how many people, whether to stuff the turkey or make a roast pan full of dressing. How long will it take to roast the turkey? All your answers are here. Let the kids join in chopping onions, celery and breaking up the corn bread. They love helping mom in the kitchen. You want to cook your giblets early to have good rich broth ready for making dressing, so don’t forget.
