I know I’m a bit late with this post. Call me crazy, but I’m not one of those people who long for fall before summer’s really over. In fact, I luxuriate in every extra moment of summer warmth that I can, often wishing summer might last just a little bit longer. But alas, school is …
I’m going to talk about raspberries and cake and birthday’s here – it’s been a busy week! Our little backyard garden has been doing phenomenally well this year and we have been enjoying the bounty of the season. For the past few weeks it has been raspberries. We have picked bowlfuls of these delightful fresh berries …
M&M’s – there’s just something about those bright colored chocolate filled candies that get me every time. I mean, what’s not to love about an M&M? Especially when they are mini and baked into these yummy squares. With added peanut butter (yes, again) and oatmeal they also have some redeeming nutritional qualities. Now, I’m not …
Last week was my husband’s birthday which of course means cake! Now, if it was my birthday, there would absolutely, no question, be copious amounts of chocolate in that cake, but my husband and daughter are vanilla kind of people (can’t explain it) so what to do?

I have been wanting to share this recipe for pizza crust for a while now, but I have been so busy with cookie orders over the past few weeks I am only getting around to it now. Trust me, this one is well worth the wait – homemade pizza crust that is super easy and …

There is nothing quite like the odor of fresh bread baking in the kitchen. I love to make bread and buns and have experimented with many recipes over the years. If you’ve never tried your hand at bread making you should definitely think about it. I always use the quick rise rapid yeast which is …
I LOVE peanut butter, I mean really, really love it! I have been known, in secret, to spoon it right out of the jar and sprinkle the teaspoon with a few chocolate chips for my afternoon snack. (I can’t believe I just admitted to that!) But really, peanut butter in moderation is not all that …
Two summers ago I planted kale in my small backyard garden. Kale is a sturdy, easy to grow veggie and I ended up with more kale than I knew what to do with. I went searching for Kale recipes and it wasn’t hard to find quite an assortment. Luckily for me, I found this recipe …
I promised to share some of my favorite recipes this week and this is the first one – these chocolate raspberry truffle squares are pure chocolate goodness, decadent but small enough to be a treat you won’t feel guilty about. Unless you eat more than two or three….. which is entirely possible – they are …
