Why I ever bought a can of sweet potatoes is a mystery. I bake sweet potatoes every now and then, but I have never had a use for canned sweet potatoes. I saw this can of potatoes and went to the trusty internet in search of something I could bake with it. I found this [...]
The past week has been a very eventful and exciting one. A week ago today, we headed to the hospital to welcome this little guy into the world. Despite his surprise arrival eight days early, we could not be happier that he is finally here. Since the arrival of Carson, I haven’t been doing much [...]
Another recipe from America’s Best Lost Recipes that I received for my birthday and where I got the recipe for the peach puzzle. The only unexpected thing about this pound cake is the baking process. The pan goes into a cold, as in DO NOT PREHEAT, oven. It then cooks for an hour and a [...]
My birthday and our wedding anniversary are exactly one week apart. This makes the dates easy to remember, but its hard to have two celebrations so close together. For my birthday, Ben took me to Boot Hill Saloon in Vega, Texas. It was a really fun experience and we had a great meal. If you [...]
So many components to this dessert! Two ice creams, hot fudge sauce, chocolate cake, whipped cream…and then there’s the assembly process. Whew! When I told Ben all the things I had to do, he said “Can you imagine having to do this when you were still teaching?” Yes, I can imagine that. I would have [...]
The moment I saw this challenge I had a sinking feeling in my stomach. Steamed pudding. As in British steamed pudding. Really? And get this. I was supposed to use SUET! Where would I find suet?

This recipe is from Fine Cooking. I love Fine Cooking. The website has great recipes, but the magazine is so worth having. The articles are interesting, the recipes have never disappointed me, the photos are beautiful, and they always include fun home and kitchen finds that I end up pining after. The only complaint I [...]
This recipe came to me through my magical Google reader. I love this thing. I don’t have to go from blog to blog looking for new posts. The new posts come to me! That is how life should be, right? You want it…it arrives. If only everything in life was like this…or would that be [...]
My mom sent this recipe to me. I discovered in talking with her today that the reason she sent it to me is because she was too scared to try it out herself. I have become the recipe guinea pig, and I am totally OK with that. There’s always a little bit of uncertainty when trying a [...]
