They were crazy good and I will be adding these; not only to my Christmas baking list but I have plans to make them later today. We have family up for the weekend and who doesn’t need a little treat now and again. The original recipe asked for guava paste but I could not … Continue reading Shortbread thumbprint cookies – Mantecaditos
After a couple of years hiatus we had our annual Christmas party last night. I decided to keep it small, which ended up being a really good idea. We had a Friday snowstorm with a foot of heavy wet snow. For those of you that knows what that means is power outages; and lots of them. The dog got me up crazy early Saturday morning … Continue reading Butter Cookies – Norwegian Serinakaker
Sitting here at the island enjoying my cup of tea and one; OK more than one apple crumb bar. They are really good and if you have any leftover apples, around 5-7 small to medium apples you should make these today. I added more apples (10) than I probably should have to make it easier to eat but I am not complaining. Actually just mentioned … Continue reading Apple Crumb Bars
Plans tend to change pretty quickly around here. My father-in-law ended up and is still in the hospital, he is doing much better but still going to be a few days. I’ll take my mother-in-law to see him again a little late today. There were 9 for breakfast here this morning which is why I am running a little late to posting. I wasn’t really … Continue reading Polish Gingerbread Cookies
If you are a fan of lemons and cakes you need to make this. I came across this recipe while I was looking for something sweet to eat for our #worldwidewednesday this past week.

Do you know it’s super distracting writing my blog this Saturday morning. There is a new phenomenon in the house according to my dog. My great nephew; who is 1 year old is here visiting for the weekend. Poor Billy (my dog) just doesn’t know what to do with him nor understand why everyone wants to play him? What about me and my tennis balls? … Continue reading Ravani – a moist walnut cake
Current situation is sitting on the porch even though my hair is getting curlier as I sit here in the very thick humid air. I do have the ceiling fan on and there is a breeze but it’s super quiet and very peaceful out here among the noise of the birds, squirrels, hummingbirds and the wind chime. I hope you have a place that brings … Continue reading Texas Sheet Cake with Zucchini
Today (Saturday) was spent baking this lovely zucchini lemon cake and several loaves of zucchini bread for the freezer. Even though it is early in the overlooked crazy large zucchini’s; I had two that I needed to take care of. Luckily we have had several “normal” size ones to enjoy at dinner time. I am a huge lemon lover, and mix some fresh lemon with … Continue reading Zucchini Lemon Cake
I was planning on sharing one of the recipes we made this last #worldwidewednesday. We “traveled to Monaco and all food was delicious.

This blondie bar cookie is everything … Continue reading Blondies
Current situation is sitting on the porch with my husband and dog. The husband is watching some YouTube video on how to do something he needs to do for work. (update – he was actually watching how to install heads on my Mustang- totally unnecessary) The dog is mad that we are not throwing is his tennis balls so he is destroying a stick that … Continue reading Citrus Cake
