I found it kinda funny how on Friday morning my husband reminded my son that it was Valentines Day! Our son was all over it. He was making dinner, she made dessert they had a plan. This is our 31st Valentines day together and I wouldn’t say he has ever forgotten it but let’s just say some years have been better than others. My husband … Continue reading Tiramisu
Yep I did it again; my husband was reading his weekly Sunday magazine this morning and they have a Food & Drink section with a recipe of the week. He said “honey you should make these and blog about them”. I can read between the lines, he really didn’t have any preference if I blogged about them for not; he did however really want me … Continue reading Big Debbie – Oatmeal Creme Pies
For as many zucchini breads I make I messed up a batch a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was karma for me forgetting an ingredient on my initial post and a friend’s bread did not work out for him. SF sorry this post is too late for your sugarless bread. My error was I forgot to add baking soda; it is edible but pretty … Continue reading Problem sweet bread – make bread pudding
Our gardens are doing really well this year for the most part. The only disappointments are my peppers, both the bell and jalapeno’ peppers are just not growing or producing. We have had a bumper crop of zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers. We have been getting a ton of cherry tomatoes and plenty of roma; I fear all of my beef steaks will all turn … Continue reading Zucchini Bread

We start with a light lunch then we all head to the mountain and try lots and lots of wine. Thankfully we stay on the mountain and have a “well-planned” BBQ. This year’s dinner was excellent. … Continue reading Tiramisu
I have been making this particular chocolate cake for as long as I can remember; at least since I was in middle school. I am not entirely sure where it came from but I believe it has been around for many many years. If you are looking for a great recipe to teach a child try this one. It mixes easy in one bowl … Continue reading Crazy Chocolate Cake
I am pretty sure afterschool snacks have evolved over the years and some are far healthier that what I used to eat. When I was growing up, for a spell, we had a housekeeper that also made the most delicious homemade cookies & sugar cinnamon doughnuts for when we got off the bus. It was for a very short period in our lives, but it … Continue reading Snacks from the past- Poop Cookies
Firstly I would like to wish all the mom’s out there a wonderful day of peace and relaxation doing whatever it is that makes you happy. I personally hope to get in 9 holes of golf this afternoon. This is my first mother’s day with nothing really planned. My normal mother’s day consists of me making my mother and mother-in-law either brunch or dinner and sometimes … Continue reading Mother’s Day – Pain Perdu
Who would ever think that they would be taken down a few pegs by a hard boiled egg? If I were ever on Iron Chef or Chopped and the secret ingredient was an egg that you had to have at least one be hardboiled in some form or fashion per dish. I would be chopped first round and it would be the biggest Iron Chef … Continue reading My nemesis – the hard boiled egg white chocolate chip craisin cookies
We had a birthday at work the other day; I asked the b-day girl what she would like to snack on for the day. She was not a big snacky type person and said that I should make something that I would like to eat. Well I am not going to argue with that. So I thought hmmmmm I haven’t had a sour cream coffee … Continue reading Looks can be deceiving – Coffee Cake
