Here we go again…but this time, with cookie dough and cupcakes. As I’ve said before, when I’m making cookies, I have to hide the dough from my husband because he’ll come scraping the bowl…but being the worry wart that I am, the thought of anyone consuming raw eggs makes me nervous. Ick. That’s actually whatRead More
Mmm, apples. I love apples. And brown sugar. And cinnamon. Okay, so here again, I like all of the ingredients in this wonderful dessert. I was actually surprised when my New Jersey-bred sister-in-law suggested that I make this, because this is more of a Southern dish. Maybe we’ve converted her…poor thing. As usual, when I was searchingRead More
Well, it’s probably obvious at this point that I love to bake, and what baker can make exquisite desserts and other baked goods without the basic necessities of bakeware? Exactly! This set has a durable, non-stick coating, with reinforced rolled edges to prevent warping. It’s oven safe up to 450 degrees and is dishwasher safe,Read More
I love mimosas. The combination of orange juice and champagne, all rolled into one delicious beverage? Sign me up. Usually whenever I’ve had one, it’s at a family gathering. Whether it’s a bridal shower, baby shower, or any other female gathering during the day (and sometimes even in the evenings), it’s always been a girlRead More
When I was in high school, a good friend’s mom made us the best dessert I’d had…an Oreo pie. I honestly think that I ate at least 4 pieces, and even after a tummy ache…still wanted more. I begged her for the recipe, and she gave it to me. I read over it and chuckledRead More
A little over a year ago, I was introduced to Sangria. Back then, I wasn’t a fan of red wine just yet, but have always liked the sweeter drinks. I’ve been reading for years that red wine is the best alcoholic beverage for your health, and a small glass a day is beneficial to theRead More
Since I’m constantly harassing my family and friends for different ideas of recipes that they would like to try, they occasionally give in. Over a month ago, my sister-in-law suggested a pineapple upside down cake. Hmm. That sounds good. As time went on and I kept coming across other recipes, this particular one slipped myRead More
Yesterday, I got an e-mail from my sister-in-law, inviting the family over for a cookout on Mother’s Day. Of course! I recently bought one of those crazy sprinklers, since my daughter has developed a fascination with spraying water lately. So, we get to test out the new crazy sprinkler on her and my 3 yearRead More
I love no-bake pies. Maybe it’s because they’re so simple. Maybe because they’re so delicious. Or, maybe it’s both…which could very well be the case here. I usually bring dessert over to my brother’s house when we have dinner over there, and I contemplated not making anything. My sister-in-law saves desserts for the weekend, myRead More
Well, Cinco de Mayo is coming up this weekend, and we all know what that means…TEQUILA! Such a great song, I always think of the Pee Wee Herman movie when he jumps up on the bar and starts doing the dance in those big ole shoes with that goofy look on his face. Next thing youRead More
