Apple Strudel
So I did it. I finally made apple strudels with my sweet neighbor Mrs. M. She is the same one that made me a strudel shortly after the boys were born. I don’t remember much about those first few days as I was in a baby haze, but I remembered her perfect strudel. DT has […]
Macaroon Pudding
My mom has been talking about this recipe for years, and I finally was able to pin her down to make it today for us. My great-grandmother Thompson apparently use to make this at all holiday meals, but I don’t remember ever eating it. It’s a simple basic recipe that using very basic ingredients, except […]
Molten Chocolate Baby Cakes
This weeks Food Network Chef’s Challenge hosted by I Blame My Mother is Danny Boome. I wasn’t very familiar with his show rescue chef, but he had some awesome recipes listed.

Olive Oil Cake – Ladi Tourta

Caramel Coconut Pie
My grandmother “Granny” recently gave me a recipe for a favorite pie of her’s. It was perfect because I needed two deserts for different occasions and this recipe make 2 pies. I might not have ever eaten it before, but seriously how could a pie with cream cheese, caramel and coconut be bad. This did […]
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
I have a recent and prolonged obsession, desire, need (whatever you want to call it) for peanut butter. Several months ago I found this recipe and I’ve been hooked, its the perfect fast and super easy fix to my PB needs. These are like the best PB cookies I’ve ever eaten in my life and […]
Rocky Road Ice Cream
My Sister In Law Stacy whom I highly admire gave me this Rocky Road Ice Cream recipe several years ago after she made it at one of her infamous back yard parties. Let me just tell you she could teach lessons on having the most smoothly run, planned, fun and delicious backyard barbecues. I strive […]

I just love cookies as most people do. They are fun and simple and just plain ole good. But this months challenge was not […]
Easy Cherry Pie
Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. You know the time you were so good at the 4th of July celebration that you hardly touched anything sweet. Then you leave feeling so hungry for something sweet you absolutely have to make something, like a refrigerator pie. (or you probably don’t but I will pretend everyone […]
