Bread, glorious bread! Oh how I miss thee! Actually, since I’ve been going gluten free I have really been okay with it. Granted, it hasn’t been all that long going without it. I don’t know if there is much that I like more than a freshly baked loaf of bread, still warm from the oven, […]
Desserts
Pumpkin Bars with Pecan Oat Crust
Pumpkin Bars with Pecan Oat Crust For some reason pumpkin is one of those ingredients that gets the shaft until Fall/Winter. Then it is possible that we use it so much during that time of year that it makes up for any neglect throughout the year. I think that pumpkin can, and should be brought […]
Grasshopper Poke Cake
Combining decadent flavors, this Grasshopper Poke Cake gives you that moist chocolatey goodness from a chocolate cake covered in sweetened condensed milk, hot fudge mixed with Thin Mint Cookie crumbs, and topped with a mint whipped topping and Andes Mint Chips. For me, celebrations are always better when yummy food is involved. Mother’s Day should […]
Peanut Butter Pie
Visiting the ER is not exactly my idea of fun. I suppose one could find fun in visiting an emergency room if you enjoy people watching, or creating giant hand balloons out of the medical gloves. I do happen to enjoy people watching, and it does get quite exciting at my local ER due to […]

National PB&J Day with PB&J No Bake Thumbprint Cookies
There is nothing quite like a good ol’ peanut butter and jelly sandwich to fill the belly and warm the soul of many children (and adults). While there are many ways to eat a PB&J sandwich, my kids like it best the traditional way – two slices of bread with a layer of peanut butter […]
Moist Carrot Cake Recipe
Since the commercial part of Easter has to do with Easter Bunnies and their favorite food, carrots, I thought I would share my favorite Carrot Cake recipe! How many of you like to serve carrot cake on Easter? When I was a child, I balked at the idea of putting shredded carrots in a cake! […]
Triple Chocolate Fudge Cool Whip Cookies
Triple Chocolate Fudge Cool Whip Cookies Some days I get such an intense hankering for some chocolate or just something sweet! More times than not, when that hankering comes, I need it RIGHT NOW! I don’t want to wait for a lengthy and work-intensive recipe to be complete before I get to take a […]
