  • Pig’s Blueberry Pie

    Mason had a bright idea on the way to school today. “Let’s make a blueberry pie like pig on Word World.” Ahhh, I just smiled. Little did he know my secret phobia of pastries. I have never in my life made a decent pie crust. The crust is always so dry you choke on the…

  • Who Thinks This Stuff Up

    I imagine a woman ignited with a desire for chocolate spurred on by PMS, drummed up chocolate chip cookies swimming in a pond of brownies. Look for this Betty Crocker boxed treasure in the baking isle. We baked ours in an 11×7 brownie pan for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. They could have baked for…

  • Frosted Banana Bars with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

    For anyone who knows my kids, they actually allowed three bananas to turn brown. Shocking I know. I was faced with the dilemma of what to with them. Banana bread was out of the question. Muffins and cookies maybe. I settled on the banana bars because the fact that we have brown bananas calls for…

  • Lemon Angel Food Layer Cake

    I made this cake last year for a luncheon I threw for a few friends; along with my favorite southwestern chicken salad. I used a small loaf of angel food cake making three layers rather than six. I tried to find lemon curd in the bakery and cold isle of the market but was unsuccessful.…

  • Peanut Butter Cookies

    I admit I am not the best baker. Baking is too precise for me. I enjoy throwing things like vegetables and herbs in a pot and hoping for the best. Movie night came and the gang wanted cookies. I wanted to oblige them, however, we were all out of granulated sugar. The pleasing mom that…

  • Valentine’s Day Cream Puffs – Eclairs

    My mom flew out to spend last Christmas with us. After picking her up from the airport, I took her to a quaint French cafe for lunch. She saw the eclairs on display and just had to buy one. I actually thought my mom’s were just as good. Cream puffs have become a Valentine’s Day…

  • Molten Lava Cakes

    I made this recipe several years ago for a Valentine’s Day dinner party. It was so rich and chocolaty, I did not crave chocolate for a whole month. I did not make the whipped cream. Instead, we ate ours with strawberries and vanilla ice cream. I read somewhere to place a ball of ganache in…

  • Skore Bar Cake

    I have heard this cake goes by a few different names, Better Than Sex, Better Than Robert Redford. Since this is a family site, I will call it the Skore Bar Cake. I picked this recipe up from a friend of mine. This cake is really good but very rich. 1 box Chocolate cake mix…

  • Chocolate Moose Sundae

    Last summer a friend invited us over for a BBQ. This is Kate’s mother’s recipe. 2 boxes chocolate pudding mix 3 cups milk 1 medium tub cool whip Hershey Chocolate bars Mix milk and pudding mix in a blender. Add tub of cool whip. Pour into glasses. Add a dollop cool whip on top. Shave…

  • Carrot Cupcakes with Lemony Cream Cheese Frosting

    ,

    I love that these muffins are not greasy which is common with carrot cakes and zucchini bread. We opted to pass on the frosting and enjoy them simply as muffins. 3/4 Cup whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 Cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 cup…
