“More Is Better” Cookies
These are what I call a cookie. They have just about everything in them (that’s why Mike named them the “More is Better Cookie”. They are huge and yummy looking and they make the house smell like love and happiness when they are baking. They taste terrific and are easy to make. Whenever I bring …
Churro Popcorn
A few months ago we had a baby girl baby shower. The theme was Ruffles and Bows and Sugar n’ Spice. Everything was pink and ruffly and sweet. On our Sugar N’ Spice themed dessert table we had lots of yummy treats but one of my favorites was this Churro popcorn. I loved the sugary …
Almond Lemon Biscotti
I love a good biscotti. They’re kind of a quirky cookie. I mean, if I bit into a rock hard sugar cookie or a petrified chocolate chip cookie I would declare them stale and toss them out. Biscotti is different… their crunchiness is half their allure. Weird. A cup of good coffee and a tasty …
Best Banana Bread
186,282 miles per second is the speed of light or the rate at which bananas go from perfectly edible yellow to mushy black grossness. Because I can’t keep up with this and because it seems that I will never change the fact that for some crazy reason I buy bananas by the boatload, I make …

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes

On the dinner table that night: Pigs in Blankets, Macaroni and Cheese, Sloppy Joes, Tater Tots, Pizza, Corn on the Cob and for dessert…. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes. They were delicious and tasted exactly like that old favorite of many American children… chocolate …
Happy Ground Hog Day!
There is not much to do in the way of celebration for this “non-holiday holiday” but I still have fun with it. We watch the movie “Groundhog Day” and sometimes I make a dessert starring the furry little critter that causes all the stir in Pennsylvania every February 2nd. This isn’t really a recipe but …
Warm Lemon Pudding Cake
Have you guys been over to Pinterest yet? If you haven’t, it’s a pretty terrific place that will make you sit for hours at your computer instead of doing something more productive… like work. So head on over there! Pinterest is like a big cyber bulletin board that helps you “pin” or book mark all …
“Almond Joy” Gooey Cake
This is one of those great recipes that has been in the family so long that I am not sure of its origins. There are three things however, of which I am certain about this recipe. 1. It’s delicious. 2. It’s fun and easy to make. 3. You will make it again and again. …
