Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to get on a schedule since the kids moved in but so far it’s not working out very well! I am sure I will get used to all the activity soon – in the meantime, do you remember last Valentine’s Day when I tried…

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…
Patriotic Cupcakes and Making New Friends
Happy Canada Day – and Happy Independence Day on the 4th! Last year’s 4th of July post was about Patriotic Parfaits and I will probably make them again. If you want to make them – click on Patriotic Parfaits and it will take you directly to the post. It is pretty simple so there are…
Strawberry Crème Roulade
A few weeks ago I entered a giveaway at Hungry Happenings. Time went on and I really didn’t think much more about it. About the same time I also entered a giveaway at Food Stories and did the same. Imagine my surprise when one day I won the Hungry Happenings giveaway and the very next…
Rainbow Bundt Cake plus bonus Peeps!
This cake is so easy and so pretty! I first saw it on the Betty Crocker website and that recipe said I could find the original cake by Arlene Cummings at Cooks with Sugar. I could find lots of really cool Bundt cakes that are like this but I could NOT find this one. I…
Crocked Cherry Cola Chocolate Cake
I saw the original recipe on Taste of Home’s email newsletter but I didn’t think the dried cherries would go over very well. If you want to use those, just use ½ a Cup and soak them in the ½ cup cola instead of the cherry chips and you’ll be fine. This is “crocked” because…
Spring is Coming!
First, I want to thank everyone for your good comments, thoughts, and prayers during this time of loss for our family. I want to share a quick recipe that I made accidentally last spring for my mom’s women’s group. It was a hit with those ladies so I made another today to go with the…
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…
Homemade Little Debbie Swiss Roll Cake
Mr. Picky Eater loves Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls. LOVES them. For those of you who don’t live in the U.S. or have access to this kind of sweet, this is what they look like: I decided to make a REALLY BIG version of one – and hopefully I could enjoy it as well…
Coconut Roulade with Rum Buttercream for National Cake Day
Every month, I look forward to the newest issue of Food Network Magazine. I peruse the pages trying to find a recipe that is appealing to our family, easy enough for me to make, and does not require a bunch of difficult-to-find ingredients. I am always successful although sometimes I end up preparing a fairly…
