Christmas Punch

In: Aunt Barbie's Kitchen, Holidays and Gifts

This is the easiest possible punch.
- 2 parts Sprite (or whatever lemon-lime soda you like)
- 1 part cranberry juice (or cranberry juice cocktail if you prefer less tart)
- as much vodka as you like. (You can also leave the vodka out if you prefer to remain sober so as to act right in public.

Aunt Barbie’s Oatmeal Cookies

In: Aunt Barbie's Kitchen, Requests from Readers

There really is no way to be terribly original with oatmeal cookies, but I’ve changed this up a bit. They were The Ex’s favorite cookie and also the fave of at least two of her siblings. I don’t even like oatmeal cookies but I love these. Have you figured out yet that [...]

Tater Tot Casserole

Tater Tot Casserole
This recipe came from my sister’s mother-in-law. You can make only half of it, if this is too much. I was surprised at how un-bad-for-you it is overall. It’s one of my favorite guilty pleasures and, in the winter, I always have the ingredients in my freezer.
Of course, these [...]

Andi’s Pork Tenderloin
I made a plea to all my butches on Twitter for recipes. Andi, the doll, gave me two. Here’s one. The other is waiting for me to have a party or potluck to go to so I can make it. As for this one, I have included both Andi’s directions [...]

Experimental Dinner #1: The Intro

In: Experimental Dinner Parties

About 500 years ago, or between 1995 & the end of 1996, I had dinner parties every Monday night. I called them Experimental Dinners because I was always experimenting with recipes. Most were great. Once or twice I ordered pizza.
I haven’t cooked regularly in a long time. It was March 2006, actually, when [...]

Lemon Poundcake

In: Aunt Barbie's Kitchen, Requests from Readers

This started out a lavender pound cake, which I think is yummy but about half the world thinks tastes like soap. Since I really don’t want my cakes to taste like soap, I adjusted. I sometimes substitute lemon flavoring for the vanilla, but that may be too much lemon for some of you!
Ingredients
2-1/2 [...]

How can quiche be butch? Well … it helps to be baked by a butch! Here’s Kyle’s recipe for what he calls Eazy Keesh, but I think should be Butch Quiche. Go give Kyle some love!

Butches Cooking

In: Aunt Barbie's Kitchen

I sent out a plea to butches everywhere asking what they cook, if they cook, and all that. Then I went out in search of butches who cook, all in the name of blog writing. Yeah. Talking to hot butches did not enter into the picture at all. Really.
Anyway, here’s the [...]

Looking for Butches!

In: Aunt Barbie's Kitchen, Requests from Readers

Okay, now get your mind out of the gutter! I’m writing a blog post about butches and cooking. I wrote recently about the Butch Cookbook and that started me thinking of butches who cook. So, what do you cook? Do you have a specialty? Would you share the recipe? [...]
