History Preserved: A New Look
When I realized my new blog was heading in the wrong direction, I looked to the past for some much-needed inspiration… This blog hasn’t been here long, but I’ve been blogging for 10 years over at HISTORY: Preserved. It was a fun place to share my love of American history, vintage recipes, and…
Victory Medley: The Ultimate American Casserole

Strawberry and rhubarb are seasonal buddies. One’s sweet, one’s tart, so naturally they team up together in desserts all the time.

There is just something so comforting and nostalgic about a slightly salty/slightly sweet buttery biscuit smothered in syrupy strawberries and mounds of whipped cream. This dessert is definitely in my top ten favorites!
