I know it’s been a while – but I’ve been having computer trouble. Something is wrong with the telephone lines around the neighborhood and everyone is having problems. I was hardly online last week at all! This weekend I spent all my time with the Peeps! I have the best recipes to share with you. …
Holidays
Peeps Petit Fours
I have several Peeps themed recipes planned for the weeks leading up to Easter so I should be able to get them all done if I post about one per week. If not, I will have to step it up and do more than that. I shared my Sunflower Peeps Cake last week and of…
Chocolate Peeps Cake
Good Morning! It’s the first full day of spring and at least here it will be 75F so I am looking forward to a warm (but also very windy) day. Our next door neighbor has goldenrod in his front yard and it bloomed yesterday so hopefully warm weather is here to stay. Last year after…
Telera For Your Torta
Yesterday was my 4-year blog anniversary! I honestly forgot until wordpress sent me a little reminder. I was only a hit and miss blogger the first 2 years but the last 2 I have blogged with regularity and I have made some great friends! Just look at all of you – I enjoy posting recipes…

Nana’s Pound Cake
Today is National Pound Cake Day! I love pound cake, don’t you? When I am nauseated, pound cake is the best internal settler I have found. Do you have a favorite kind of pound cake like me? My Nana’s (of course) was the very best – but a cold piece of Sara Lee will do…
Mardi Gras Round-Up

Looking for a quick and easy way to dress up your cupcakes for Mardi Gras? If you have a Mardi Gras party coming up and don’t have time to make a King Cake – although here is a really easy one – you can still be the hit of the party. You’ll need: Cupcakes- any…
Cinnamon Sugar Pecans
Remember when I told you about our pecan trees and how Rocket, Top Girl, and SIL went into the backyard and picked up two or three bucketfuls of them? We took them to the nut place and had them cracked and blown – then we took them to mom and she shelled them for me….
