Hummingbird Cake
I made a cake every single day in my restaurant, and I think this Hummingbird Cake was the most requested. It has sweet pineapple, bananas, and cinnamon in a deliciously moist cake. I top it with a fluffy cream cheese icing and some lightly toasted pecans. The combination of flavors is amazing and the best […]

Chicken Pot Pie
How about some Chicken Pot Pie? At the restaurant, Sunday lunch was huge, and one of the most popular menu items was the Chicken Pot Pie. Made from scratch and served on top of my scratch buttermilk biscuits, it sure does hit the spot. We call this “southern comfort food” because it fills you up and […]

Coconut Cookie Bars
This is such a simple Coconut Cookie Bar! I love how you just put everything in a 9×13 baking pan and don’t even have to stir! I will say one thing about these. They are much easier to cut and eat if you wait until they are completely cooled off…but if you are like me, […]

Hoisin Sauce
I needed Hoisin Sauce for a recipe the other day and had to make it from scratch. One of the disadvantages of living in rural America is the lack of variety in your local stores. I LOVE living where I do, with the open spaces, beautiful views, and friendly people. But, when I go outside […]

I made this for a dear friend upon request and have since tweaked the recipe to add some additional moisture. This cake plates beautifully, and goes so well with a late […]

Starbucks Lemon Loaf Dupe
Check out this Starbucks Lemon Loaf Dupe! So, it is not often that I “copycat” a recipe, but when my daughter challenged me to make something like the Starbucks Lemon Loaf but with a cake mix… I was intrigued. I took a Duncan Hines yellow cake mix and let my mind wander… of course, I […]

I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE
I love to food blog, but it’s killing me! OK – maybe I am exaggerating, but I have a little problem. The more I blog, the more I cook, and the more I cook, the more I eat. Do you see a pattern here? This pattern that I have been in over the past year […]
