Oooooh do I love muffins.  Quick & Easy to make.  Portable & Tasty.  And they can be savory or sweet!  Of course, I prefer the sweeter versions, but like to try to make them a bit healthier when I can.  Here’s a recipe I stirred up last week: Peach Muffins 2 cups flour (I used [...]

I was so excited to receive a copy of two cookie recipes from my sweet friend, Donna, on Sunday morning.  She’d read my post about wanting the PERFECT Sugar Cookie recipe and found a couple to share with me.  This recipe isn’t exactly a sugar cookie, but I had to share it anyways!  She said [...]

Do you have a favorite sugar cookie recipe? The kind you can roll and cut and frost to perfection.   I don’t.  I haven’t been able to find one that was “perfect” for such a purpose.  They’ve either been too crunchy (which ruins the frosting effect) or too bland (which is NOT a good quality in [...]

Ahhh, what a fun day to celebrate:  Chocolate Cake Day!  It was actually Wednesday, but we can still celebrate it today with one of my all time favorite family cakes.  We called it Texas Sheet Cake – but it goes by other names as well.  You can try to make it without the pecans, but [...]

If you happen to not like cottage cheese, these are gonna sound odd, but this recipe makes some great fudgy-chocolate cookies.  My mom made these while I was growing up and they were some of my favorite cookies as a kid.  It’s been awhile since I made them myself, but Chocolate Friday is inspiring me [...]
