I made this cake for my mom ’cause she loves Amaretto. So do I, come to think of it….which is why I made myself a little treat as well! It is moist, creamy and the frosting….it’s the kind you make when you are home alone to ensure you get to lick the beaters. And the spatula. And…
Fondant has always frightened me. During my brief period owning a bona fide bakery I always claimed to be a ‘fondant free’ environment. Not only was it scary but it tasted bad. And taste was, and still is, of utmost importance to me. Then about 2 years ago I was prompted to attempt a fondant cake. And…
So Addie wanted to pick out her own vegetable to grow this spring. Therefore we planted 6 eggplant plants. They were purple and this was the reason for choosing them I am sure. Anyway. 4 of them died, 1 is stunted and producing nothing, the last one is LOADED. The poor plant is drooping with…
Whenever there is a function which includes food (wait, that would be ALL functions). Whenever there is a function I take a dessert. Rarely will you spy me toting in a salad or rolls. Nope, I’m a dessert toting kinda gal. Although I did make a corn casserole for an Easter dinner this year but…

I came up with this great get-rich-slow idea a few years ago. I’d make and sell jellies, jams and mixes. The only problem was I’d never made any jellies, jams and mixes. So I figured I could learn, how hard could it be? All I really knew about the whole process was what I observed…
Everyone loves my balls. My CAKE balls that is! As a matter of fact I happen to know there are people who love me for this reason and this reason alone. I’m okay with that. And if you are needing to feel some extra love, wanting to impress someone with your wicked baking skills or simply have…
I’m not sure if it is quite right to publish recipes for chicken on a site that serves to honor, love and cherish chickens. On the other hand I honor, love and cherish Chicken Salad. So, we just won’t worry about offending the flock, they can’t read anyway. Chicken Salad is a funny thing, everyone seems…
