I love cupcakes. They are just darn cute. You get your very own mini cake . . . and nobody has to help you eat it! Don’t you love these new foil liners by Wilton. They hold up . . . keep their shape . . . and retain all of the color. You really […]
Author Archives: Get Off Your Butt and BAKE.jpg) Before I head outside to mow the lawn and pick the peas . . . I wanted to share a a delicious little melt in your mouth, jam filled Shortbread Cookie. I’m sorry, I simply have not had the time to plate & style . . . so here is the rough draft straight from […] .jpg) What do Caramels and the Garden have to do with one another? Nothing! That’s precisely the way I wanted it. Homemade Caramels are a staple in this house, and I often try new recipes. I already knew that this one was a winner, since my good friend Teressa brings these at Christmas. Since I officially […] .jpg) It’s hot. It’s muggy today. I picked and picked and picked Raspberries early this morning. Visions of this delectable frozen Cheesecake swirled in my head. They just kept swirling . . . so I made it! Since we have an ample amount of Raspberries at my house . . . I used Raspberries. You […] .jpg) Two things on my mind. It simply won’t hold more than two things at once. 1. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all of you that voted for my simple Blog over at BABBLE. I was beyond thrilled to find out that I made the top 100 Food Blogs! see . . . you […] .jpg) HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! It’s sunny, hot, windy and picture perfect for a hometown parade. My heart goes out to so many families who have recently lost homes to wild fires. It will be difficult for so many, to celebrate this 4th of July Birthday. We need to offer support and keep them in our […] .jpg) The other day, we went on a hunt. A Big Hunk Hunt. We failed miserably, and came home without even one. They certainly aren’t my favorite candy bar . . . but the hubbie really likes them. He doesn’t love anything sweet – except for me of course. hee hee. So . . . I […] .jpg) Pesto. I like it on Pasta, Sandwiches, as a dip for chips and crusty bread. My funny husband thinks it tastes like Sage Brush . . . but still eats it. It’s delicious on my new favorite Pizza crust – Remember the Jim Lahey recipe I posted. I’m telling you . . . it’s fabulous! […] .jpg) Lazy is my middle name this week. I’m FED UP with feeling crappy . . . soooooo . . . no more! I have a scrumptious and super easy recipe for you today. It’s certainly one of our favorites for the grill. Our meat of choice was Chicken today, but Beef chunks is also delicious. […] .jpg) Hi. It’s been a while. Thoughts of cooking or baking of any kind were erased from my mind for a while. Nothing looked good, tasted good or stayed down for long. I’m convinced that I’ve lost many needed brain cells! When you walk around the house looking for a ringing cell phone . . . […]  Sorry for the long pause . . . A bug caught me. When I find it . . . he better look out!!! I will return soon. .jpg) Thumbing through The Perfect Finish Cookbook . . . is a thrill for the senses. The Author – Bill Yosses, is the executive pastry chef at the White House. The pictures are amazing and I found myself dog-earing half the book! The Blueberry Angel Muffins stopped me in my tracks. Is it a muffin or cake? […] .jpg) For years and years and years, I’ve been making Cream Puffs. For years and years and years, they bake and rise beautifully . . . and then deflate. Not any more . . . I say! Cream Puffs really are very simple to make. They are even easier to eat. It’s all in the slit […] .jpg) I grew up eating homemade Taffy. My great grandmother Harriet was a pro. She had a amazing way of “testing” the candy to see if it was ready to pull off the heat. Grandma would simply dip and swirl two fingers in that hot, boiling syrup! .jpg) I’ve really need to QUIT buying large bundles of bananas. why? This is why! My usual routine: Buy groceries – bananas included. Load them in Escalade. Shut back door. Open back door . . . grab a green banana. (Not so green that it won’t peel!) Eat banana while heading home. Unload groceries – put […] loading
