Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies and Cottage Kitchen Tour

[@VictoriaPaxton]

I volunteer every Wednesday at a food pantry. A lady I work with literally just made these last week...yum! Thanks guys! Love from D.C.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks for watching, Victoria - and the love from D.C.!

Oh Wow Kevin....listening to Jonny Rae singing "just walking in the rain" in the background of your video....zapped me back to my elementary school days when I had that on a 78 rpm heavy old record...played it until the groove wore off and the needle just slid across to the centre of the disc....often while our house was filled with the scent of the oatmeal cookies my mother was baking. A happy trip down memory lane :) Thanks

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Heather - glad we could bring back some good memories. I think that is something that both food and music can do for people...transport us back to special times with special people. Thanks so much!

[@janinas.5965]

Hi Kevin and Ralph! Thank you for the tour of the cottage kitchen....what a lovely, charming place. Looks so warm, and homey with all the vintage knick knacks. I was thinking as you were showing them that since I remember a lot of those things from my childhood, that I am vintage too!!! Take care guys!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Janina! Like the vintage items we like to collect, some things just get better with age!! Thanks for keeping in touch and for watching!

[@mercedesgrosser]

Always enjoy your guys videos and your recipes. Just like watching friends in the kitchen. Enjoy cooking myself. Thank you both for all you do. James

[@cavalcadeoffood]

mercedesgrosser Thanks - glad to have you with us in the kitchen! Thanks for watching!

[@ArchieLovesMe]

Such a warm, inviting place. You guys are very blessed. Oh, and... Polish Power!!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Lisa!! We are blessed - and yes to Polish Power!!

[@MoonLily]

Yum city, guys! Thx for sharing the recipe and the cottage! I love it and all your vintage treasures! Can't wait for your next video!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, moon lily!!

[@MrBrenfootcare]

I stumbled across your KZbin channel and fell in love with it. I love your style and more importantly I have made a few of your dishes and love love love how they turned out. Yesterday I made your stuffed pepper recipe and my family loved it. I always look forward to some free time just to watch your videos, thanks for the great food recipes and the great back ground music again, I love love love your channel . . . .

[@jkalin196511]

My late Mother's favorite cookie, she made them all time. I haven't had or made them since she passed away in 2000.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

James - thanks so much for watching. I hope the recipe brought back some fond memories of your mother's baking.

[@jkalin196511]

cavalcadeoffood It sure did. She would make a lot of them during the holiday season to gave to friends. We had a large Amana chest freezer on the front porch and shelves to hold extra pots and pans and top of the freezer and the shelves would be used as cooling racks.

[@kathleenpalmer845]

Mmmmmmmm…… Those look delicious! I will try that recipe soon. I may add some golden raisins and chopped walnuts to some of the batter. I really liked Ralph’s idea of sandwiching peanut butter in between two of the cookies. YUMMO!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Kathleen! Golden raisins and walnuts would be great add-ins!

[@debbieann3594]

My favorite cookies are Peanut butter Cookies, and Oatmeal cookies! I will definitely keep the thought of butterscotch morsels in the back of my mind.. Thank you once again fellas!! Love your channel.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Debbie. PB cookies are wonderful, too! I just bought a big bag of chocolate stars and I'm thinking of making a batch using them in the center. Thanks always for the feedback and watching!

[@debbieann3594]

Do it Keven!!! I like to put Chocolate kisses, or mini peanut butter cup in the center of my peanut butter cookies.. Sensational!!!!cavalcadeoffood

[@howardbaltazar4293]

Hi Kevin. Those cookies looked so good I could almost smell them! Like you, I swear by parchment paper for baking cookies, they brown better on the bottom and clean up is a breeze. I loved the tour of the cottage kitchen as well, it reminded me of the kitchen that I grew up in, I just wish you had included the whole cottage in your tour. I now live in a home that's 20 years old, and while it is nice, there is nothing like an old home that has been well cared for.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Howard! We will have to include some of the rest of the place one of these days - of course I'll have to make sure everything is neat and tidy, which isn't often because the cottage is "lived in" and usually Grand Central Station on any given day! Thanks, as always!

[@howardbaltazar4293]

cavalcadeoffood If you guys are anything like us, try inviting over someone you don't know that well, but whose opinion you value. Before you know it, your sense of pride kicks in and the house is spotless and stays that way for days after the guests have left. This has worked really well for us for years. LOL

[@norfolk03]

I love the recipe, and your kitchen! Thank you both for the good music and company, like a visit with friends.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

+norfolk03 We're glad you "stop by" and be with us as we cook! Thanks so much for watching!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

FitAnge S Thanks for watching and your note! During the hot summer months (no air conditioning at the cottage!) I do keep the cookie dough in the fridge until it firms up a little and in between batches. I find the cookies don't "spread" as much while baking. During the cooler months, they seem to do fine without refrigeration. Thanks again!!

[@Imonit135]

Thanks for showing more of your lovely, cozy kitchen. Gotta love an oatmeal cookie. BTW we have been in the dining room, back covered porch & backyard. Now that winter is setting in, I guess it is back to the big city. Thanks Kevin & Ralph.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Imonit135 Thanks for watching - yes, we will be heading back to city living for a while...looks like it's going to be a long winter here in Michigan!

[@laurac56]

The cookies look great, but your kitchen is fabulous! I've been waiting for this tour. I have a 1964 kitchen with new appliances which look fine because they are white, however I would love a vintage gas stove to replace my boring newish one. I collect and use Pyrex and Jadeite bowls and dishes and have found mustard-yellow canisters and a breadbox. I love the red in your kitchen! I would have walked into that kitchen and bought the place too. Thanks for the tour!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Laura - you're welcome and I love the sound of your kitchen! There are lots of vintage gas ranges out there, so I'm sure you'll find one you really like. The vintage Pyrex and Jadeite are wonderful collections and I'll bet they are fun to use! Thanks so much for watching!

[@pats5796]

Thank you for the cookie receipe. Love your cottage kitchen and all the vintage items. I would love to find one of the Corning pots you have on your shelf. My Mom had one and she used it for making tea. You and Ralph make me feel like I am having a visit with a member of my family whenever I watch your videos. Looking forward to your next video.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Patricia! You're always welcome in our kitchen! Those Corningware pots are great - I picked them all up at thrift shops.Thanks so much for watching!

[@TheStefan40]

Yum! Never thought about oatmeal and butterscotch! Sounds like something to make this weekend. Thanks for the tour of the kitchen also---my great aunt used to have the same kitchen clock that you do!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Steve!! Hope you give these a try - your aunt had great taste...I love that clock!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!

[@TheStefan40]

Wishing you and Ralph all the best for Thanksgiving also! Can you believe that it's here already?

[@craftlover9]

I am so glad you decided to video this recipe!! I LOVE oatmeal cookies but have never had them with the addition of the butterscotch! They are definitely on my list to make for the holidays!! Loved the kitchen tour and spending time with you guys! Wishing you both a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

craftlover9 Thanks so much and I hope you and yours have a beautiful Thanksgiving, too!! Hope you give the cookies a try!

[@craftlover9]

cavalcadeoffood Definitely will!

[@HairyKari1]

I absolutely love to watch! I learn a new recipe or two or three each evening from the both of you. Your cottage kitchen is awesome and reminds me so much of my Grandma Becker's when I was little. A lot of the same "chotskies" (sp) she had sitting around. Very definitely the same Pyrex and utensils. Y'all make me smile! Thanks again! BTW... Just know I'm going to gain a few as I start cooking all your wonderful recipes! What the heck...right? Only dogs like bones!!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Kari - LOL!! Love "only dogs like bones!" And so true! Thanks for watching and your nice note!

[@cathyaquilina5310]

Love the cookie recipe, haven't had those in quite a while, will definitely add those to my cookie line-up for Christmas.I most definitely have Pyrex bowl envy. I have quite a few, but I am always on the lookout for more to add to my collection. Plus, how many people still have those metal measuring cups, I do! Keep up the great videos guys! Thanks.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Cathy! Isn't it fun to cook with our vintage tools? These would be wonderful cookies for the holidays - thanks for watching!

[@kayesfavoritethings6745]

I LOVE your videos!! Thanks so much guys!! I have made oatmeal cookies for years but never put butterscotch chips into them. I am gonna try it!! Ya'll are awesome!!!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Kaye - hope you give these a try!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@rosep9866]

Hi, guys love you.Love all the cooking lessons & tips you give . I wrote to you about Hudson's,, thank you for writing back how kind of you..my question is would you stuff your turkey or stuffing in a dish. I used to stuff the bird then take stuffing out. it's been a while since I make a turkey.. I grew old too soon & watching you brought the Polish delicious food,, I made the cheese soup OMG it was heaven.. I'm working on the butterscotch cookies. I also made the best borst(spelling bad). Thank you for listening 🤗

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Rose! So glad you enjoy the videos! I always make my dressing in a dish rather than stuff the bird. This is how my mom did it and so I do it the same way, plus I often make my turkey in advance of Thanksgiving so stuffing it wouldn't be practical. Glad you like the cheese soup! I'll bet your borscht was delicious! Thanks!

[@blbl8924]

Please do so thanksgiving recipes. Thanks guy for all you do

[@cavalcadeoffood]

B&L - you're welcome! We will try to get a Thanksgiving recipe in if we can. Thanks for watching!

[@kristina11980]

i love your kitchen! Really liked the little alpine bowl that you had the oatmeal in...you know what might be good? In place of the butterscotch chips, cinnamon chips!

[@AussieAngeS]

Boy those cookies look absolutly delicious. I love this recipe. I agree to take them out slightly earlier as they do brown upon standing. What's your opinion about placing the cookie dough in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking them? I've heard that they keep their shape better.

[@adalb137]

I was surprised to see another video from the cottage! I know you guys are sad to close it up for the year. These cookies look yummy! I love butterscotch anything so I must try these. I have a recipe for butterscotch blondies that are very nice that I make occasionally. Thanks for the kitchen tour! I love love love it! Such personality and welcoming/inviting. So, the Crosley oven. I'm trying to figure out the heating element - is it covered in some sort of frame? It almost makes it look like a gas oven. I'm anxious to see what next year's stove model will be :) Cheers!

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Adam! I think there will be one more episode from the cottage and then that will be it for the year - we getting the Detroit kitchen ready! The heating element in the oven is an open coil type, which is why it has the guard/reflector around it - unlike a solid element used on later stoves. Although the technology is old, it still bakes great. Not sure what we will put in next season, but I've got a couple of good candidates ;-) Have a great Thanksgiving!!

[@1jmass]

I always feel right at home in your cottage kitchen. So many things are like the ones I grew up with, The Tupperware salt shaker, the Pyrex bowl sets, and many of your decor pieces could be right out of my mom’s kitchen. I am a fairly new viewer, and I don’t think I have ever heard how you guys met. You seem to go back quite a ways, and you are obviously from the same area. I am just curious.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Jean - so glad that you feel at home with us when we are cooking!! We enjoy having friends around to share meals and celebrate life! The cottage kitchen is a good place for my vintage kitchen things that I've collected over the years. We met when we both worked at a radio station in Detroit and have been friends ever since! Thanks so much and glad you enjoy the videos!

[@marguinafernandez5920]

These cookies are going to be one in my Christmas cookies list... I'm telling you.. It doesn't matter what you guys make it always comes out divine... Are you doing any thanksgiving receipies BTW?? Hope you do!!! Take care and keep kicking ass!! Love you both... 😍😍😍😍

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Marguina!! So glad you will make these for Christmas! We will try to do some Thanksgiving recipes...not sure what we might do yet. We're going to keep on kicking as long as we can! Love back to you!

[@reikibreak7524]

Have you done a video tour of the cottage other than the kitchen ( Which is adorable) ? Good looking cookies.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Hi Denise - no, we've only done the kitchen...it's usually the most tidy room in the place! Thanks for watching!

[@reikibreak7524]

cavalcadeoffood Always look forward to your videos.

[@jesuslopezjr.9531]

I love red and white or blue and white kitchen lol

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks - those are classic color combinations!

[@josephvalenti7268]

Sounds like Kay Starr!

[@berylwhite2983]

Truth in advertising 64 you have to have a quality test from the quality Department LOL

[@ShalimarPerfume]

Well I am in there with any type of cookie that has oatmeal in it. Tis the diabetes ya know and when I bake with oatmeal, I don't have any problems.So long as I only eat one or two of those cookies. Love your Kitchy Kitchen.

[@cavalcadeoffood]

Thanks, Shalimar! Glad that you can enjoy oatmeal cookies - they are Ralph's favorites, too! Thanks so much for watching!

[@williamsherman3047]

Vintage Kevin and Ralph.
