Welcome to our family's kitchen!

These are some of our family's favorite recipes, including a lot of recipes that were handed down from my mother before she passed away. I often joke that I graduated from "The Culinary Institute of Mom's Apron Strings." My boyfriend and I love to cook; he even creates a special dinner every Friday night based on an important, or funny, or ridiculous historical event. You can look that up at "Doomed to Reheat" - we even do a podcast that you can listen to! We're a family of cooks, whether it's professional or amateur, and we hope you enjoy our recipes!

I am learning to blog as I go along, so please be patient with my mistakes! Until I figure out how to remove the headers, please use the links on the right side of the page to access recipes. I will add recipes as we find them, or as I find them from my current (very large) stash of recipes.

Sunrise Punch

Sunrise Punch


We wanted to try something a little different, so we found a recipe for a cranberry punch and tinkered with it just a tad.  It tastes a little like a Bahama Mama or Sex on the Beach.  You might want to add more rum than this recipe calls for to suit your tastes.  I'm a cheap date; we had to adjust the amount of rum so it wouldn't be too much for me.  I hope you enjoy!

  • 4 cups cranberry juice
  • 2 cups orange juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups ginger ale
  • 1 cup rum
  • lemon or orange slices
In a medium-size punchbowl, stir cranberry juice and sugar together until the sugar dissolves.  Add the orange juice, ginger ale, rum, and fruit slices.  Serve over ice.
