I have had these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies rattling around in the back of my head for several seasons. I am not really a pumpkin girl. I usually have a piece of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and then I am done for the year. The reason is I find pumpkin recipes heavy. I like more of a … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Peach Ice Cream
Last week I posted another tart recipe. I wanted to get it in my little recipe book also known as my blog. I feel really good about finding a great recipe and putting my own take on it. Ina said to make a recipe over and over until you mastered it. I think I am there. Giggle, … [Read more...] about Peach Ice Cream
Peaches and Cream Tart
I hope I don’t bore you. I know I just posted about a plum tart, but I finally managed to get my hands on some delicious peaches. I did not want to let the time go by without telling you about it. When I smelled the peaches you could just tell what ever I made it was going to be … [Read more...] about Peaches and Cream Tart
Plum Tart
I had peaches on my shopping list, because it is peach season. However, the ones I found did not look fresh or ripe, and had no smell to them. I am not sure what that is all about, but like a store-bought tomatoes there was no flavor. So what to do? I went through the market … [Read more...] about Plum Tart
Gourmet S’mores
Another chocolate recipe; no one is more surprised than I am, but when you find a fun recipe it needs to be memorized. It is really easy. Easy is my favorite kind of recipe. Since I can’t eat graham crackers or chocolate (they both contain soy), I felt compelled to write about my … [Read more...] about Gourmet S’mores
Apricot Tart
Time to make Apricot Tart. When I was growing up I was not impressed with apricots. I was a peaches girl. When I think of apricots I think of my Dad and how he loved them so much. I remember him opening a can of apricots and he would eat them right out of the can. Mom would fuss … [Read more...] about Apricot Tart
Berry Fool
For April Fools Day I thought I would make a Berry Fool. Personally, I don’t like April Fool’s Day. I have had some mean jokes played on me. Not to say I don’t have a sense of humor, I do. But, humor can be funny or not by the timing. The worst joke I ever had played on me … [Read more...] about Berry Fool
Hot Milk Sponge Mini
I am totally fixated with mini cakes. My days for big-o-cakes are over. At least I think they are. I have been known to make really brash declarations and then God says ha! But, this is where I am in my life as of now. There was a time when a 9x13 pan of cake was more of a … [Read more...] about Hot Milk Sponge Mini
Improved Lemon Curd
I saved a tree today, but not the complete tree. It is looking sort of strange. It is missing a few limbs. I have spoken previously about my neighbor that has this wonderful prolific lemon tree. It feeds the whole neighborhood, a few joggers that jog by, and a few gardeners. … [Read more...] about Improved Lemon Curd
