My most requested recipe is my pecan praline bits, which my grandmother used to make. I make 20 pounds of these every Christmas for gifts. Here is the recipe: mix 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, a teaspoon of pure vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of pecan halves. Mix until well coated. Spread on two large cookies sheets LINED WITH PARCHMENT PAPER. Bake for about 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven, convection setting is preferable. Stir the nuts after about 10 minutes, then after 5 minutes, then watch them so they don't burn. Store them in an airtight container. ***The key is watching them the last 5 minutes. They should look dry, but don't let them burn. People start asking for these before Thanksgiving!!!
Is the bake time for convection? Would it be longer for regular baking?
If baking in a non-convection oven, just keep checking and stirring the nuts the last 5 minutes. You want them to look dry but not too dark.
I don't have one that's passed down but my kids really liked this:
1) Saute onion and yellow squash - carmelize (can add zuchini) - add a bit of soy sauce.
2) Add cooked brown rice and mix well
3) Cover with cheddar cheese - put lid on and melt.
The caramelized veggies give this dish a surprisingly good flavor. ❤
Dry farmed means they don’t water the grapes. They grow just from the rain. My favorite family recipe is my great grandmas shortbread.
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter (room temp)
2 to 2 1/4 cup flour (you want a crumbly texture)
Put it all in a good processor (or use a pastry cutter)
Press firmly into a 9x9 pan and use a fork to score it every half inch or so. Bake at 300 for 50-60 min. You want to bake till it barely turns brown.
Got the recipe engraved on a cutting board in my grandmas handwriting as a Christmas present for my mom a few years ago. It’s the best!
Was you're Grandma from Scotland? My mom was from Scotland and the recipe sounds just like hers. I love the cutting board idea.😊
@@lizmccue5820 she is mostly Swedish and Norwegian but the recipe in her cookbook says “Scottish shortbread” so that tracks!
It isn't really a recipe but in all honestly, my uncle taught me this. It is Rice Pilaf like you never had it before. You cook 1 box of Uncle Ben's long and wild rice. (It has to be this rice) Then once it is done add sour cream to taste some freshly sauteed sliced portabello mushrooms. (Tim's favorite) and there you have it. Honestly, everyone used to come to my house for this. I still make it and everyone asks for it when they come over. Sometimes the simplest stuff is really good.
Both of my parents were amazing cooks, so it's surprising now that I think of it, that I don't have any recipes that have been handed down. My dad made a great tuna casserole that used no canned soup, that I used to take to every pot luck, but I've somehow misplaced the recipe and I'm so sad that I can't find it. I mostly remember the ingredients, so I think I'll have to experiment to see if I can figure it out again.
My most requested recipe is Jalapeno Poppers. I use 30-40 jalapenos, halved with seeds/ribs removed, 2 blocks of cream cheese, softened, about 2 cups (just eyeballing) of shredded sharp cheddar and a pound of bacon. Traditionally, the cream cheese and cheddar are mixed up, scooped into the jalapeno halves and wrapped with bacon. I like to chop the bacon, fry it up then add the bits into the cream cheese, cheddar mix. Scoop the mix into each jalapeno half and bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. When the bacon is wrapped around the pepper, it often pulls off with the first bite. My way, you get bacon in each bite. There was a time when I couldn't show up to a party without these poppers. They were my mother-in-law's absolute favorite and I actually gave her a full batch for Mother's Day one year. I hadn't made them since last summer, then got a request from my nephew to make them for his birthday party a couple of weeks ago.
My mom only Cooked 3 things and nothing special. My husband and son love my quick and east banana bread. My daughter won’t eat anything banana 😳
One box yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, 3-4 overripe bananas, 1 cup choc chips ( can add nuts if want to ). Mix together bake at 350 35-40 min . Hopefully my son will keep it going. Thx for the taste test !😊
Dry farms means growing the grapes without additional water. My husband used to work at Cline.
My mom makes a fruit compote to go with spiral ham. It’s cold and refreshing paired with the salty ham. It’s just some cranberries shopped apples and pears with sugar and a fresh squeezed orange. Boil over to stove and once soft let it sit on the stove off the heat for a bit to thicken up. Add in some cinnamon and cardamom. Cardamom is a must to bring it all together.
Thank you for tasting the ancient vine wine. I will keep the bottle I got and probably have it tonight with our dinner. Tim's expression before he bit into the cod tart - priceless!

I have tons of recipes from my mother and my MIL but a simple and delicious one my MIL called, "Spaghetti Ala Sohia Loren:" spaghetti or angel hair, carmelized onions in mixture of olive oil and butter, lots of basil, fresh or dry, lots of Parmesan. My mouth is watering writing this. You will love it, Katie!
Thanks for the review and Tim, thanks for being brave. The handed down recipe I make every Thanksgiving in my grandmother's stuffing. It's unusual in that it's made with mashed potatoes and bread. If you google Pennsylvania Dutch stuffing, you'll find a bunch of recipes for it. The other one I make all the time is my mother's pumpkin bread. This makes two big loaves and it freezes perfectly. I half the recipe all the time and it works great.
Pumpkin Bread
5 1/2 c flour
2t baking soda
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1t nutmeg
3c sugar
1 c of oil
2/3 c cold water
4 beaten eggs
2 c pumpkin
1 cup walnut (optional)
Combine the dry ingredients then make a well and add the wet ingredients. Bake in two well greased loaf pan for 1 hr and 15 minutes at 350. Test to make sure it's baked through and add five minutes if needed.
Could you please let us know the oven temperature on this pumpkin bread? This recipe looks delicious. I’m going to try it out next month. :)
@@kathy2933 Whoops! It's at 350.
Thanks so much! Have a great night!
KUGEL COOKIES
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup golden raisins
1 cup peeled and roughly chopped apples
Set oven at 375°F.
Grease a cookie sheet. Combine well the butter and cottage cheese. Mix in both the sugar and vanilla, then mix in the egg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Combine the flour mixture with the butter and salt, a little at a time, until mixed together. Stir in the raisins and chopped apples.
Scoop the dough, about 2 tablespoons at a time, and set on cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake about 12 minutes or until golden brown. After baking, cool on rack.
I’m Portuguese and grew up with those cod custards. I’ll have to check those out at Trader Joe’s.
Thank you for another great taste test video.
I love these videos because I go to.trader Joe's weekly.😊
Both my dad and mom were / are great cooks! So many cod dishes and a sort of Portuguese Sheppard pie my dad perfected. Sadly I am not really great nor have their energy to cook everyday but a lot of the stuff was not written down, so it may be lost! Sometimes I see some youtubers share “my parents” recipes and it fills me up with joy! I honestly don’t know how they did it raising three children, having a big house that was always spotless clean, being present and always cooking everyday. We would go a whole month without repeating meals and yes all my friends loved to eat at my house. No idea how they made it!!! ❤
You and Tim are just the cutest ❤
Thank you guys for your great reviews! I love it when you do the taste test. Really helps a lot.
I’m so happy that Tim and I share the same recipe! I grew up on meat and potatoes and it’s hard to break the comfort food habit. I grew up with aldente spaghetti, butter and salt and always had meatballs or meat sauce or sausage and jar sauce on the side with sprinkles Parmesan and still make it sometimes. I grew up with Ronzoni and Prego but use other brands now. I also love scrambled eggs with mustard, a childhood favorite.
Dry farmed means farmed without watering or rainfall only.
My Gram's macaroni salad
1 box of Choo Choo noodles
3/4 c of Miracle Whip
4 hard boiled eggs
6 stalks of celery
1/4 c of dehydrated onion
1 Tbsp of celery seed
1/4 c white vinegar
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 Tbsp prepared mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional can of tuna to make it more of a meal
I loved the hesitation on Tim’s face trying the cod custard. This taste test was so much fun. My TJ’s was all sold out of the wine but will be stocking the shelves again tomorrow. I did manage to grab a melon, cooling off in the refrigerator now. Peanut butter bar recipe was handed down to me. They are so good, but I only make them once a year. They are not hard just very time consuming. I’m anxious to hear about the pasta salad. I know it will be great. Enjoy your weekend. 😊
Really appreciated your detailed description of the Cline wines. Can't wait to try the Ancient Vines bottle!
Hope you like it!
Another family recipe::: 1 package of lime jello ( the large package), 1 large cream cheese, 1 large can of crushed pineapple. Make jello following directions on package, put in blender and add cut up cream cheese, add and blend.Add drained crushed pineapple and put mixture in 9x13 dish and put in frig.
I make every year what we call Grandmas Christmas potatoes. They are like a double baked but different. Made with onions, green pepper, pimento and parmesan cheese. It’s suppose to be the color if the Italian flag. She made them every year, my mom did and now I do.
My dad alway put a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream in the cantaloupe half! Try it ❤
My father was a wonderful cook and made a lot of excellent dishes, however, it was all done by eye and taste. No recipes. My sister and I picked up what we could and our dishes are tweaked to our taste so they are similar but not exact. He wouldn't let us in the kitchen while he cooked so we had to learn from afar.
I have 5 children and they all learned to cook pretty much the same way. I don't measure unless I'm baking. My dishes that they love are my stuffing, red cabbage, my vegetable lasagna and my lobster bisque.
Great reviews, we love to see and hear your reactions…very helpful. That wine and quiche is definitely on my list
Tim! I also grew up eating a lot of buttered noodles! A favorite for sure!
Oh love this my mom was from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and we make Pasteles 😋 for the holidays Xmas 🤶 can’t write it too much details
Pasteles are delicious! 🤤
I love TJ's quiches.
Peanut Clusters::: 1 can of salted peanuts,1 package of chocolate morsels,1 package of butterscotch morsels.Melt morsels in pan on stove( medium heat) add peanuts and drop in waxed paper in cluster form. Let cool before eating.Can put in frig. to firm up.
Fun video! My recipe is similar to Tim’s. We called it macaroni and tomatoes. And it was just that simple, cook elbow macaroni noodles drain and put back in pot and add a can of petite diced tomatoes and heat together. Serve with butter, salt and pepper! It’s delicious. 🤗
I make a tortilla Espanola which is a potato and onion omelet from Spain. I recommend Spain on a Fork RUclips channel for a good recipe/method. That channel has mostly vegetarian recipes I think you'll like. I lived in Spain as a child so many recipes I remember are featured on that channel, especially the wonderful tapas recipes which pair well with red wines.😉
Oh I need that melon stat
I look forward to these taste test with you two real real bad 😁. Y'all have an awesome weekend!
You too!!
I make my Grandma’s Walnut Cookies every Christmas, as well as my Mom’s friend’s recipe for Fannie Mae Fudge. Both are outstanding. My Grandma sold these cookies to help out during the Depression. My mom’s friend wrote Fannie Mae for their recipe and offering to pay for recipe. In the early ‘70’s she was surprised to get it with a bill for $300. Gave that recipe to everyone for the next 30 years!!!
Here for this review before my TJ run. Thank you Hespe fam!
I agree with Katie about the Jack'O lantern cookies!!! They are the best tasting cookies at Trader Joe's!!! TFS!!!
Dry farming: no irrigation. Can yield very concentrated berry flavors… bigger risk for vintners. Combined with old vines… about as good as zin can get. In the right hands in a good year.
All the kiss melons are so good! If you see a honeykiss, definitely try one!
Mine is French Canadian shepard’s pie: Hamburg (I use breakfast sausage) can of creamed corn, can of whole kernel corn, S&P, top with mashed potatoes and bake til golden.
Sweet kiss melons are my favorite! I haven’t found them anywhere this year and am happy TJs has them!
I get you Tim on the melon - they are Amazing!! I am also excited to try the quiche! I didn’t get to TJ this weekend but I did get to Aldi and I was channeling my inner Katie and got some things I think yal would enjoy lol 😂 Have a great weekend!!
The one I make the most is my mother's Bran Bud Cereal muffins (Kellogg's Bran Buds)! I've been making it since I was young and now my kids (ages 21, 19) love them too. Great right out of the oven with butter and jam. Sometimes, I just make them for dinner. I don't use the recipe on the box, which has been "updated", so don't go expecting the recipe there to be good. But maybe for you it will be.
Tim getting ready to taste the cod custard was priceless! 😂Thanks for a fun taste test and for trying the Cline wine. As for family recipes, mine is actually a cookie, my mom's oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I don't have the recipe with me right now to share, sorry. Great question!
Buttered noodles are underrated! I’ve been wanting them since Tim mentioned them. Looking forward to watching your egg bake video.
My recipe is probably homemade chicken and noodles, probably from my great gma. I add a bit more paprika these days though. There’s also a really good sweet potato 🍠 casserole that I got from a random church cookbook.
We have a recipe passed down from Italian relatives in my family called covazone. We only eat this for Easter lunch! It’s ground pork and fennel, hard boiled egg slices and Swiss cheese, layered in a dough, kind of like a calzone. It sounds like interesting combo, but it works 😅
Love pasta with butter 🙌👍😋it’s delish!
Such a great taste test!! I think I’ll try the new Onion Confit Swirls to top off a homemade green bean casserole! 👍🏼👍🏼
That would be excellent I’m sure!! French fried onions were the first taste I got but better!
It's the joe joes replacement. I write that order at my store. ❤❤
Thank you for the feedback on that. I think they reformulated it… can you confirm that?
@KatieHespe I will ask on Wednesday when I work again, if I can remember! Lol. We have a few new pumpkin items coming too. ❤️
Dry farmed grape vines are not irrigated, but get water from rain and ground water.
As always TFS!
how long would u recommend the garlic shrimp flatbread in the air fryer?
A broccoli casserole …yum
Mine is my Grammy's Christmas bread that had been passed down to her. Yummy! 🍞
My recipe would probably be my grandma's pecan pie! My dad always loved it growing up and since my grandma doesn't live close to us, I make the pie for my family (but mostly for my dad) each year at Thanksgiving time! I don't have the recipe with me but its a pretty basic pecan pie recipe and it is absolutely delicious!
I've made your egg bake Katie! Delicious! Mine is called Heavenly Food, an ambrosia type dessert with homemade gooey cake pieces, that my great-grandmother, grandma and her sister originated in the depression years where such things as oranges and bananas were hard to come by. Only for Christmas!
I love to make my mom's cornbread dressing sooooooo good once a year because it takes time to make
Sugar kiss melon is the bomb. Sam's gets them yearly and I set my alarm to it. 🍈
17:45 I think these are the new Joe-Joe’s. The originals have been missing from my store since spring! I heard they were discontinued and waiting for replacement…
Anyway, mi madre es Uruguaya y me da Tuco! Yo hago cada Nochevieja y es muy delicioso 😋
I live in El Segundo California and the brewery is a walking distance down the street from where I live. Their El Segundo Marbury Beer is their best beer INO you can buy it from Costco so give it a try next time you are shipping there.
Is Tim growing a beard for Fall? This was so fun! Now, off to my local Trader Joe's! It's in my neighborhood. I'm so lucky.
I'm like Tim no recipes were passed down to me. The one and only thing my Mom makes that my kids and I love is chocolate drop cookies. No secret recipe, but a frequently requested dessert.
My first recipe that came to me was handed down to me from my dad's family Spinach stuffing. It was taught to my mom from my dad' sister everyone makes it on Thanksgiving. I tried to make once, but it came out bad. Now I have my cousin's recipe I want to try again. Sorry Katie it has sausage in it!
Katie! Does your TJs have the pickle curds? (Cheese with pickle spice). No animal rennet. I think you’d enjoy
The correct terminology on the kiss melon is that it was developed to be a smoother and sweeter variation of the standard cantaloupe. So it is a cantaloupe, just a different variety.
That was a fun hall and taste test! I'm like Tim as I don't have any recipes as neither my mom or dad really pushed me to cook so I never really learned LOL but I do remember when I was young I didn't like spaghetti sauce or tomato sauce or too much of it in the morning our style so as a teenager I used to make spaghetti style my way which was angel hair pasta butter on top slice of cheese on top of that and then I put some spaghetti sauce around the pasta and not on top of it. I also put sour cream around the pasta so I mixed the sour cream with the spaghetti sauce and then I would just take a bite of basically the pasta with the butter the cheese the sour cream and the spaghetti sauce. That was my favorite way to eat spaghetti! I would end up making it for all kinds of people cuz they really ended up loving it that way, so it became one of my signature things I would make :-)
I am not surprised you liked the portugue cod tartes. Next trip Portugal. You will be blown away, just don’t go in august with all the tourists. 😊 And yes! Portuguese tourism department should definitely pay me for all the free advertisement!
Yeah Tim, you nuked that 😂 it’s burnt. It’s super hot here in Texas so I get a tiny counter oven so we don’t turn the big one on. The tiny ovens work better for breads instead of air fryers.
Went to TJs just for the melon & ours didn’t have it 😢. I’m so bummed. I’ll keep trying
Tim I think it’s really brave you thought the cod custer would be sweet AND still tried it.
My dad was the cook, and he passed down his spaghetti sauce recipe along with his potato pancake recipe. My mom was a good baker, I got her soft baked pumpkin, cinnamon and raisin cookie recipe
well i dont know how to make it, but my grandpa gave us broccoli cheese with bread crumbs and that's how i started to like broccoli. now i eat it just steamed, but it's just broccoli, cheese, breadcrumbs and evoo. That's it. RIp grandpa, aldo Califlower soup (it's more then a stew then a soup) but that's second favorite from him. I dono how to make that though.
Have you ever froze a bagged salad mix? I overbought this week. 😀
Don’t do it!! The lettuce will not be edible once defrosted.
Thank you- I appreciate the tip
Mine would be my banana bread. I have been making it for years. I learned how to make it years ago when I went down to Jamaica. Jamaica women would sell it for a dollar on the beach with fresh OJ when we would get out from snorkeling. I asked them one day, and they gave me their yummy recipe. I make it for family, friends, my neighbors. . It is delicious............
That is awesome!
Would you share your recipe?
Grandma's apple 🍎 pie 🥧
Green chili stew
Omg I wish I had gotten all of my grandmas recipes before she died. What was written down was on grease splatterd abbreviated index cards. But she had the best mandelbrott,gefilte fish,honey cake or date cake, and her dairy and parve noodle kugels. I know there are a bajillion Ashkenazi jewish recipes out there but her food was so good when she could cook. I always loved cooking and baking with her when I was growing up. I didn’t answer last weeks question because it felt like I would be giving too much personal information in the comments and that made me feel weird. But I wanted to answer it.
Mine is...sos( shite on a shingle) from my dad( USAF)😂
Those Joe Joes taste nothing like Oreos to me. I tried them thinking they were gonna taste like oreo cookies and they did not. Do the pumpkin Joes Joes have a vanilla filling?
Cheesecake (handed down from mother-in-law). She made me promise to not give it to anyone. But, it is delicious. I just took 2 pies to a going away to college party and everyone came up to me to tell me how delicious it was! I kinda like being able to bake this - it makes me think of her because she is no longer with us. But what a great hand me down that makes me happy to make it.
It always makes me sad when the older generation is so secretive about recipes. Theyre meant to be shared and enjoyed otherwise one day they will just disappear. My family has lost so many recipes this way because grandma or aunt whatever kept her recipe secret.
I think they just changed manufacturer for the Jo-Jos ...it's supposed to be the same flavor as the classic
It definitely tasted different to me.
Pineapple bake
Off topic but is Tim doing Halloween shirts this year🎃?
He said yes!
@@KatieHespe will it be linked, the ones from last year are up....did he design or just tee spring did, my daughter wants another shirt🎃😉
Dry farm wines have no sugar, all natural, lower alcohol and are supposed to be healthier. Also, supposedly they don't cause hangovers. I don't know, I never drink that much.
Great info, thank you!
I really hope they don’t change the pumpkin JoJos!
Me too!
The secret is out now on the sugar kissed melon. I'm hoping they don't sell out now.
I'm from Lancaster County, PA and Hershey's Baking Cocoa was a staple growing up. Here's the BEST fudge recipe U will EVER taste!

🌸👍🏻🌸
Great taste test!! Lemon Supreme Pound Cake. Passed down from my late husband's grandmother. I usually make around 15 between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Most family members want it for their gifts 😊 I like to adk a question. What is the name of the song at the beginning and end of your video?
Love the taste test! Unfortunately, my grandma’s chocolate cake recipe is secret. It’s made for our birthdays. And she makes this frosting that uses coffee grounds and tastes like a jamocha shake. Then the other one would be her tea ring we make at Easter. You make the dough. You roll it out. You butter it and then you top it off with a cinnamon and brown sugar mixture and and chopped walnuts. Then you roll it up and you put it in a Bundt cake pan or something like that. Then you make a maraschino cherry glaze and add some maraschino cherries on top. It’s to die for.
Wrap that sugar kiss melon in prosciutto
I love watching your videos.
There’s always an echo in the room where you’re taping. Anyway, you can do something about it?
My great grandma is Hawaiian Coconut Bread and unfortunately I share because she promised me not to. I make for Kalimaka every year and give it as gifts and other baking I do.
Tatse test??
Haha thanks!
Cod custard 🤮
Awesome guys, another great taste test. Okay so the question so Michael and I are home grown very good cooks not professionally however friends say we should have a food truck. Anyways we have both some recipes from family that we have changed and made healthier and way better. My list would be forever so let's just say for 2 ideas meatloaf and taqitos. Hugs friend Elissa modesto cali @elissa_tc
My mom makes a fruit compote to go with spiral ham. It’s cold and refreshing paired with the salty ham. It’s just some cranberries shopped apples and pears with sugar and a fresh squeezed orange.
