This Patriotic Fruit Sugar Cookie is a FLASH from the past!  More than 30 years ago I made this dessert for the 4th of July.  I was probably 18 or 19 years old and my fiancee (yes, I married young) and I were having some friends over for the 4th of July.  I found a […]

This Strawberry Nectar Cake Recipe solved one of my biggest problems!  I have a family that loves the tastes of strawberries but will not touch a fresh one.  They eat strawberry jelly, strawberry yogurt, and even the occasional strawberry smoothie but my kids and my husband don’t like the “texture” of fresh fruit.  Well, Jumex […]
