I The funny thing about food blogging is that sometimes I have to remember that there are people who just want a recipe….this is one of those blogs….so I heard people and put the recipe first…this time. (Plus I learned how to learn a new little application that will hopefully allow you to just print …

Mistakes Shouldn’t Make You Berry Blue
How do you handle mistakes? Do you freak out and scream? Do you roll up into a ball and hope that the day ends soon? Do you live in regret and overthink what has happened? Do you just shake it off and move on? I think I’m a mover and a shaker. I own when screw up but always …
Idiom Idiocy
Do you like idioms? Some of you are refraining from answering because you are googling “What is an idiom?” That is okay, I’ll wait. Are you done? Your spell check just looked up “What is an idiot?” (Not the same thing but you may think differently after reading this post.) An IDIOM is an expression, word, …
A Piñata, Patience and Pound Cake
I have not written a post for over a week. I have to admit, I haven’t written because I’ve been kind of angry. I don’t feel well….again. It is rare that I have a pity party that lasts more than a day but this one I’ve had trouble shaking. Just as my energy started to …
January Baking Project-Sugar Cookies
There was an interesting discussion with my husband, Earl, last week concerning my New Year Resolutions. No, he didn’t want to add things like wear high heels more often or give him massages every night. (He has been asking for those things for YEARS and they haven’t happened!) It was the part about baking. He …
Playing Around With a Pumpkin Mousse
Life is a like a playground. You can swing up high and feel like nothing can touch you. Or you can swing and jump off when life gets too scary. You can make the choice to only go down the slide that is straight and narrow so you know what awaits you at the bottom …
A Crisp, A Cobbler and a Crumble Walk into a Bar
Why wouldn’t you want a cobbler to run for office? Odds are he’d be im”peached”. That was hysterical! Do you want another joke? Or do you think my peach jokes are the pits? (I’m here all night!) So with peach-a-palooza going on in my house right now, I decided that I needed to make …
June Bon Appetit Cook the Cover
“She’s my cherry pie Put a smile on your face Ten miles wide Looks so good Bring a tear to your eye Sweet cherry pie” Do you remember those lyrics from 1990 by the band Warrant? I have had the song in my head ever since the June Bon Appetit arrived in my mailbox. I …
Aunt’s Rainbow Rolls
I am an aunt. Have I ever told you that? I am not just an aunt because my siblings have had kids (I think we have 12 between both of our families) but I am an aunt to my friend’s kids. I am not the crazy-spoil your kid kind of aunt. I am more of …
Livin’ the Dream: Bacon Rice Krispie Treats
2:34. 2:34? 2:34! Why the heck did I wake up at 2:34?! Now according to my husband, I was not fully awake. I would have to agree. I remember lifting my head, looking at the clock and plopping my head back on my pillow. I know I didn’t fully go to sleep for a few …
