I found this recipe on the Imperial Sugar site and knew I wanted to try these. They were made for Imperial Sugar by the blogger at Fields of Cake. The recipe is easy and the taste is deee-licious! I changed it just a little by adding my own idea of what good toppings would be…
Holidays
Tailgating – BBQ Burritos
Are you ready for some football?!?! This Saturday begins the college season for us and while we are still frantically moving the kids in with us and rearranging the entire house, all will stop for a few hours on Saturday to watch the University of Oklahoma play a game of football. Half the kids are…
Easy Pillsbury Funfetti Halloween Doll Cake
Boy has it been a wild few days but I worked this cake in so if you wanted, you could too and get it done before Halloween. When I was 6-years-old my parents gave me a Barbie cake and even though I was not a big Barbie doll player, I loved that cake and always…
Hatch Green Chile Round-up
Hi all! I’m back (at least for today) and grateful for all your kind comments. Thank you. I have been planning this round-up for a few weeks now and was going to post it Friday but of course I couldn’t. On a happier note: It’s Hatch Chile Season! Yay! I love Hatch Chile peppers and…

I thought I would take a moment, on July 31 to let you know that Halloween is just a short 3 months away so you should start planning right now! I love Halloween because what other holiday do you get to be whoever or whatever you want AND someone gives you free candy? There is…
The Spectacular Spudnut!
In the summer of 2007, Lawyer Boy got to do an internship in Louisiana for the summer between his junior and senior year of college. When we were visiting, he brought some doughnuts to our hotel room. I thought they were doughnuts – but they were actually spudnuts! Spudnuts are crispy on the outside and…
Crock Pot Pickle Pork and the Origin of my Name
I received a comment on my last post that reminded me of how I found out the origin of my name. I’ve always liked it except for a few days during elementary school – and wouldn’t trade it for anything. My cousin Debbie reads this blog and I hope she will get a kick out…
