Homemade Cherry Mash Candy
My dad loved Cherry Mash candy but he was diabetic and could only have one once in a while. When the candy company came out with the Mini-Cherry Mash, it was a very good day at our house. Dad was bed fast by then and I was taking care of him full time while my…
Sugar Cookies
As many of you know, I do not make New Year’s Resolutions. Instead I choose something new to learn about all year-long. One year it was cooking, another it was how our tax money goes from our paycheck to the dispersed programs we support, and yet another was the year I learned about art. So,…

Three Cheese Sausage Balls
These are great for football and tailgating as well as parties! Easy to make and so moist and tender… My husband and I always stay home on New Year’s Eve. When we were younger, we always went out but I’m not interested in freezing to death in a dress or dodging drunk drivers so we…

Orange Cake w/ Dark Chocolate Ganache
Mother Kalamity called this evening to visit. When I was young, she used to get upset with my Nana who would call to visit seemingly not knowing that an entire hour of time on the phone was too much for a working mother with a husband and a farm! Now, my own mother calls to…
