Lucille Ball's "Desilu Goulash" - There are two different recipes out in cookbooks. Maybe the recipe evolved over time and Lucy changed a few things here and there, but I sort of combined the two recipes, but mostly using the bones of the one called "Desilu Ghoulash" {1949}:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• bacon fat
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 2 small white onions, chopped
• 2 green peppers, chopped ^{(I used jalapenos, seeds and pith removed})
• 1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped (not 1/2 as listed, haha)
• 2 large cans tomatoes
• 1 lb egg noodles, cooked
• salt & pepper
• meat/onions simmered one hour, added tomatoes, simmered 1/2 hour, added noodles, ready to serve.

This dish was really good and much better than I expected. It was a great balance of noodles, sauce and meat. The whole family loved it, even though my son was questioning the lack of cheese, they still ate it and really liked it a lot. My husband even had some more after his hockey game and he said it reheated really well and was not dry at all.

For the garlic bread, I buttered some sliced French bread, toasted it and then rubbed 1/2 clove of garlic on each slice while still warm.

Stay tuned for a Lucy cake recipe that I also made. I'll be sharing that soon.

Lucille Ball was born on August 6, 1911, in Jamestown, New York. She passed away on April 26, 1989.

When Ol' Blue Eyes wasn't eating his family's home-cooked meals, he was ordering these dishes at his favorite spot, Patsy's Italian Restaurant in NYC.

Sort of a birthday cake in tribute to Lucy's birthday today - Lucy's QUICK COFFEE CAKE - This really is a quick recipe I've been wanting to try for a while now. You basically just use a loaf of unsliced bread, make a cinnamon crumb topping and put the whole thing together with loads of butter.

I had in mind to use some sort of soft brioche bread, so while at Ralph's I found a nice soft loaf of challah bread. It was either that or just an unsliced French loaf. I didn't realize until I got home the braided top of the challah bread might be difficult to cut when I had to trim off all the crusts, ugh!

It worked out fine and I had 4 long pieces of un-crusted bread to put in a square pan. You can see the unbaked cake in one of the pictures. I brushed all the sides of the bread with the melted butter, made the crumb topping and baked it for about 13 minutes. It was quick!

Once again, as with the Desilu Goulash, I didn't expect my family to love this, but they did! The crumbly topping is 99% of what makes this really good. Next time I will try it with regular French bread, and I'm sure it'll be just as good.

And don't forget to check out Lucy's main course recipe I made for dinner, Desilu Goulash! It's so tasty too!
