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…
Holidays
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…
St. Patrick’s Day Round-Up
St. Patrick’s Day will be here in a week! I’m sharing some related recipes this week starting with a round-up of recipes from the past that I believe represent the holiday and the Irish people – of whom I am one. Later this week I will share recipes involving cabbage. I had to…
Aunt Irene’s Old Fashioned Lemon Meringue Pie

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….
My Valentine to YOU!
Hi all! This is just a quick note to let you know I have put about 60 of my Nana’s Vintage Valentines on the blog and you can copy any of them for personal use. Also, if you look on the right side bar, you will see I took one of them and made…
