When my children were very young, I often read them a wonderful book I love called Mudpies and Other Recipes by Marjorie Winslow, who is a shirt-tail relative of mine. We had many mudpie parties where the kids made up a menu and served their creations to their dolls and stuffed animals. I love that at fifteen and eleven, my children are still making them.
Here are a few sample recipes from Margorie’s book, and what they inspired in my yard this fine summer day:
Pine Needle Upsidedown Cake
Sunflower Torte
Tea and Toast
