Homemade Pop Tarts…Yes, really!
Yesterday my Mom told me, in confidence, that she had never tasted a Pop Tart. What??? My Dad loves them – but only Brown Sugar & Cinnamon. The man does not eat fruit. He’ll eat jelly by the jar, but fresh fruit – never. He says the smell of watermelon makes him gag. He used […]

Tuesdays With Dorie…Chipster Topped Brownies
Oh, the Ooey Gooey Madness! I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this week’s Tuesdays With Dorie recipe, chosen by Beth of Suppilicious. Chocolate Chip Cookies are great. Brownies are great. But together? Is that really neccessary? Yes. Yes it is. These brownies would be my new favorite if they didn’t dirty up so […]

Blogging for Babies…Lemon Pie Macarons
Have you ever thought, Man, I would really like to have a bite of Lemon Pie? Just a Bite. Not a whole piece, just… a bite. Well then, these macarons were made for you. I think I am getting a little too brave for my own good when it comes to macaron making. Now that […]
Wordless Wednesday…Recycling
I do understand the concept of Wordless Wednesday. I do. But I. don’t. care. I won this mixer on eBay. It is a 1950’s KitchenAid. The bowl is Pyrex, and until I saw it up for auction, I had no idea that the bowls used to be glass. It had a few scrapes and bruises, […]
