So yesterday I decided I am going to make a batch and freeze them individually so I could have one and only one, not the the whole tray. The only down side that I see … Continue reading Easy Homemade Brownies

It has … Continue reading Carrot Cake Muffins
I vividly remember the day that I fell in love with the combination of Cranberry’s, White Chocolate and Pistachios.

I love seeing ads for tractors, … Continue reading Banana Fritter – Kuih Kodok
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
