Easy Apple Pie

Impromptu. Impromptu dessert. Impromptu blog post. It was Saturday afternoon and we had plans with friends for an early dinner.

Pumpkin Bread

I celebrate glorious Fall with this glorious pumpkin bread recipe! This recipe is from an old friendship from many years ago. The friendship has since faded but not the memories. Isn’t that the fun of recipes and food? Food is meant to be shared. This recipe is for two loaves so it’s made for sharing. […]

Russian Tea Biscuits

I am sitting here looking at this plate of deliciousness… Flaky little biscuits filled with (my favorite) raspberry jam, walnuts and golden raisins. Topped with cinnamon sugar…. Do I have your attention now? I know, it’s been a while since I’ve shared delish with you…I finally have my mojo back from vacation and am ready […]

Sharing the Sweetness with Apple Cake

I’m sending you just a bit of sweetness before I go.

My oldest is in Colorado and she […]
