Summer was slipping through our fingers this weekend and I realized that I had not made one pie! What the heck have I been doing? With the rainy weekend cancelling our cookout plans, we opted for a dinner out with good friends with dessert afterwards at our house. I had no problem deciding what to […]

Change is in the air. Evenings are cooler. Sun sets earlier. And many folks are preparing for back to school. I’m melancholy today as I think how quickly the seasons change. I love and welcome fall – but what happened to summer? I feel cheated. Most of this summer was too hot and with school […]
We’re having a family barbeque today in celebration of my daughter being home. I always like to surprise my family with a recipe from our past and this time, I decided to make our Aunty Kay’s coconut squares! My Aunty Kay is my godmother and was always our ‘cool’ Aunt. She worked as a waitress […]
Allow me to dish you up a scoop of summer. A dish of sweet summer peaches. It doesn’t get any better than this. Yes, I’m still on my ice cream kick. I’m loving my new Kitchen Aide ice cream maker. I just can’t stop making ice cream! This recipe is one of my favorites. Start […]

Who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies? I long for the days when I would eat them as fast as I can scoop the gooey morsels off the hot pan. One…then two…three… and beyond that, I would never admit to how many. I stopped making them years ago because of my inability to stop reasonably. It’s […]
Here’s a fun, healthy appetizer for your next cookout! This comes from my dear friend Dotti who brought it to my last party. I always get stuck on appetizers and usually make the same old, same old… I was thrilled when she walked in with this…it was so pretty! Make your own cinnamon chips – […]
I’m having a hard time starting this post… Hubby is sitting next to me moaning between bites… “This bread is killer…this bread is evil…I could eat the whole thing right now…this is the best thing you’ve ever made” See what I mean? He’s so distracting sometimes! Truth is – this bread IS killer and it […]
