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, […]
Strawberry Victoria Cake

Let’s talk about this Strawberry Victoria Cake! It is a delicious sponge cake that is said to have been a favorite of Queen Victoria’s. 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 […]
Fish Chowder Recipe

So, one of the things that I like about having a food blog is that it is my blog to do with what I find interesting. I can take the time to create a new recipe, talk to you about what essentials you should have in your pantry, or I can go off in the […]
Gooey Pecan Butter Cake

So, I have tried several different recipe cards in this blog, and so far, the best way I have found to give y’all my recipes is to type them in. I know that people love to “jump” to the recipe card, but until I find one that works better, I am sorry that you might […]
1954 Chicken Florentine

I love taking old recipes and revising them for today. For instance, this 1954 Chicken Florentine recipe had a jigger as a measurement. I had to educate myself to edit this one, and I was extremely pleased with the results. The chicken turned out moist, and the sauce was perfect. I served this over some […]
Easy Lasagna Casserole

Have you ever gotten a call that some company is coming and you just don’t know what to make? This easy lasagna casserole came to my rescue the other night! I adapted it from a 1954 cookbook and love the way it turned out. It is easy to make and takes the place of something […]
Easy Crust Pizza

This Easy Crust Pizza is so much fun to make! I promise that if you were to help your kids make this pizza, you would also be making some great memories. It comes together quickly and the toppings can be whatever you want. I used browned hamburger and mushroom, but your imagination is the limit. […]

It makes the perfect company for a nice cup of coffee or tea. They are also just the right size that […]
