Patriotic Fruit Sugar Cookie

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 […]
Strawberry Nectar Cake Recipe

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 […]
Hot Milk Cake Recipe

I revised a Hot Milk Cake recipe for a friend today. I just love having friends on Instagram! I never knew how much fun it could be to interact with people from all over the world that have the same interest that I have. This recipe is for one of those friends. We met because […]
Buckeye Chocolate Crunch Bites

As a food blogger (and a crazy lady) I am always looking for fun things to make. These Buckeye Chocolate Crunch Bites fit that bill! They are inspired by a fellow food blogger Half Baked Harvest and came together really easy. I did change a few things (as always) to make them not as peanut […]
Scratch German Chocolate Cake

When you see the words scratch and German Chocolate Cake in a title, do I really need to say anything else? 🙂 Well, the story behind this recipe showing up on my blog at this time is simple. Ya see, the other day my son asked me to bake a cake for his best friend’s […]
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This recipe is a fantastic one-dish chicken cordon bleu casserole! One thing I always loved about having a big chef kitchen was that I could make a huge mess! Realy big messes happen when you are creative, right? This new recipe was worth the mess. We all love chicken cordon bleu, and it can be […]
Busy Mom Milk Bar Pie

I just had to come up with a busy mom version of the famous Milk Bar Pie I made the other day! It was so rich and delicious, I really understand why it gets so much praise. The problem was that it took quite a bit of time to make the recipe and then it […]
Milk Bar Pie

The other day Raychel and I were really wanting something sweet to eat! I started looking at old recipes and commenting that I wanted something different. Something that wasn’t very heavy and seemed a little more “summer” worthy. Well, Raychel started telling me about a place she ate when she was on a trip to […]
Strawberry and Peach Crumble

This strawberry and peach crumble is proof that sometimes you just have to follow your nose! The other day I walked into my local grocery store and smelled peaches. The sweet smell of peaches brought to mind so many decadent desserts that I just had to buy a few. I got them home and immediately […]
Homemade Mac & Cheese

Easter time every year is a time for everyone to get together and celebrate beginnings. This year (2020) was a little different for us. With COVID-19 hanging around we decided to not get together. We did have a family zoom meeting and I made all the traditional foods for my children here at my house. […]
