Don’t you love springtime when fruits and vegetables begin to come to our markets fresh from the vine instead of from the hothouse?

7 UP Apricot Upside-Down Cake
You are not going to believe how wonderful a couple bottles of 7UP and a bag of dried apricots can taste! This old (from the 70’s) Southern recipe comes from Lawyer Boy’s friend’s grandmother – a friend he made while he was living in Lafayette, LA one summer doing an Internship right after he finished…
Shoney’s Strawberry Pie

Easy Apple Fritters

Apple Enchiladas #Cincodemayo
Today is Lawyer Boy’s 27th Birthday. I met him when he was 16 and still in high school. I remember meeting him one Saturday afternoon and then the next week, I was in a Oklahoma State University Extension office and there his picture was in a green jacket. I asked the lady I was meeting…

Last night we ate and then we wanted something quick and sweet to eat so I went to the pantry to see what we had and we had just the perfect dish in an hour: Dump Cake! Have you ever had any or made it? YUM!! I’m going to show you how to make here…
Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Icing
Last week when I was hunting up my mom’s birthday cake recipe, I ran across a couple of interesting things that I will be sharing over the next few weeks. This first one has to do with Rose. My mother has had four best friends in her life Mary Jo was her best friend in…
