Sides and Vegetables

Old Fashioned Tomato Aspic

Bring out your inner Southern Belle with this vintage Southern side dish made the day before and allowed to set up overnight. This recipe is actually easier done than said. Read all the way through the instructions before getting started. Actually it is quite easy and it isn't as daunting as the lengthy instructions might have you think. Boil four to five medium sized tomatoes until the skin softens (wrinkles and/or splits) for easy removal. Pour into a colander held over or placed in ... continue reading...

Cheese Balls or Logs Made Simple and Easy

These easy to make ahead cheese balls or logs are so very simple and easy to make for any large gathering or party. My mother used to make them around the holidays for large family gatherings but they are great any time of year. Plan to make these at least one to two days ahead. They will keep if well sealed in plastic wrap for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. Allow two packages (8 ounces each) of cream cheese to soften at room temperature. You'll want very clean hands and/or to wear ... continue reading...

About Me

Hi, I'm Tammy!

I live in Idaho but I am a southerner and moved here for career reasons in 2000. However, I am now a retired widow and have lots of time to focus on what makes me happiest -- cooking, sharing recipes, as well as teaching and sharing with others what I know about cooking and nutrition.

I don't claim to know everything there is to know about cooking and I'm not a chef, although I do know a few and helped them out from time to time and my late husband was a trained cook and baker as well as a master at smoking meats and making BBQ, and I have studied nutrition at two colleges and one university along with other degrees. I like cooking from scratch and recipes made with prepackaged items are the exception rather than the norm.

However, being disabled, I have good days and bad days so I do use what I call "cheats" on occasion. For the most part though I've learned to pace myself and with a little preplanning I manage to do the prep one day and the cooking the next so the cheats still don't happen very often.

I have an enormous collection of recipes dating from the 1700s to the present (hence, vintage to modern). Because of my late husband's health issues I also have many diabetic and heart healthy recipes or my recipes often include substitutions along with the regular ingredients.

I do just about everything when it comes to cooking so other than predominantly scratch cooking, I don't really have a set focus on any particular cuisine. I even make a few cheeses, canning, homemade ginger ale, candies and confections, and the list goes on. If there is a recipe for something you'd like to see just leave a comment or write to me at: vintage2modernkitchen@gmail.com
