Recipes that are simply delicious!
Growing up in Fred, Texas (at least from birth to fourteen) was quite the experience. An experience that peaches never really played a role in. Don’t get me wrong, Fred (what with all the rain it gets in South East Texas) is full of some wonderful homegrown food. My childhood […]
I can’t help but get really excited when I find just the right combination of flavors that make up a wonderful recipe and this lemon-lime freezer pie is no exception. It is a scrumptious combination of sweet and tart sitting proudly on top of a graham cracker crust just waiting […]
On occasion, I find a recipe that I don’t think needs any tweaking. This Strawberry Pound Cake Recipe from Grandbaby Cakes is one of those recipes. I have pinned it to my Pinterest board @simplymauriekay under desserts for you to go check out! The cake is definitely a pound cake. […]
