Are you dreaming about a beach somewhere warm? We are in the throes of our first winter storm; as a matter of fact most of the country is experiencing Mother Nature at her worst! Not a lot of snow but strong winds and cold temperatures here in Michigan. I stay home during this kind of … Continue reading
I always like to make something new for Halloween and this year it is a simple bark. This is one of the easiest desserts you can make and it is also a great one to make with kids. You take care of melting the chocolate and they can decorate.
It’s always fun to use a new ingredient – this time it is freeze-dried raspberries which gives the cookies most of their flavor; no artificial addition. Also, there is a slight tang from the cream cheese which pairs well with the raspberries. Drizzling with chocolate, white or dark, is optional but looks nice on the … Continue reading
Pinterest sure gives me ideas, almost too many, on making different “boards” (I also have a number of books on the subject) and in this case I used a heart-shaped red cake pan to display all the different goodies.

I just received this cute Christmas Gingerbread Men mold (along with the tree and poinsettia) in time to make some for the holidays. Two day priority mail took 9 days – such is the post office this time of year! I have quite a collection of mini and regular sized molds that I have posted … Continue reading
Ingredients for these candies have been sitting around in my pantry since the holidays. Such a simple dessert and I never got around to making them. Recently, I needed something sweet and remembered these candies. These are so good; nothing better than pecans, caramel, chocolate and a sprinkling of Fleur de sel.
How about some Buckeyes while you watch college football over the Thanksgiving weekend. There is a lot of eating and watching football during this holiday in my family. It is also the University of Michigan (my alma mater) and Ohio State University game. This is one of the biggest college games for my hometown of … Continue reading
