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…
Peeps!
Tonight I am beat! I usually post a recipe on Tuesday nights but I thought it would be fun to see what I did on Saturday afternoon. I love peeps and have always wanted to set up dioramas with them. Top Girl and I put together the Peeps sign above, which took up about 1/4…
Easter Egg Truffles
Tuesday is my son-in-law’s birthday. He loves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and since I had seen several versions on Pinterest lately, I thought I would make him some. This morning Chef Dennis Littley, who I follow on Google+, posted a recipe from Imperial Sugar that made the truffles look like Easter Eggs. I ALWAYS use…
Cheep Chicks!
The weather here was in the 80’s Friday and Saturday – today? 40’s. I am not a big fan of winter so I am sooooooo ready for spring, aren’t you? I was reading a post at the Sweet Simple Stuff blog and thought it looked so easy – I could do it and herald…
S’Mores Truffles
It’s been a while hasn’t it? It’s been a strange week, that’s for sure! First, I caught the flu that everyone has been talking about and just so you know, they are not exaggerating. Then something happened to a member of my husband’s family that had me pretty busy for a while – but finally,…

Tomorrow is a big Valentine Day competition at work. We are having the chocolate competition because it is Mardi Gras and there may be some people giving up sweets or chocolate for Lent beginning Wednesday. We will be raising money for our Employee Recognition. Since we work for Government, there is no budget to…
Neapolitan Cookies
I love Neapolitan ice cream so I was pretty sure I would like Neapolitan cookies when I saw the recipe on allrecipes. When Mr. Picky Eater saw me preparing the ingredients, he asked what was in Neapolitan cookies. I told him chocolate, nuts, and cherries. His response was to ask if I could substitute something…
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…
Luscious Little Lemon Pies
Remember the dissolution of Hostess? Mr. Picky Eater just loved those Hostess Lemon Pies. Remember my Small Fried Pies? I married the two with the help of a recipe @ Food Lust People Love and made him very happy! First, I made Stacy’s Lemon Curd recipe with these ingredients: LUSCIOUS LITTLE LEMON PIES 2 lemons…
