The leaves are falling, the nights are getting cool, and that means one thing: Pastry Club. I have written about this club before but figured I’d do it once again as it is my turn to bake for the month of October. In case anyone does care how this works, it’s easy. Members sign up, [...]

What a perfect spring weekend. Spring rarely shows up on the first day of spring. Doesn’t make much sense, but if you stop and think about it, it will! However, this year, we celebrated the first day of spring with a meal prepared on the grill and actually eaten outside at 6:30 in the evening. [...]

Here is the one of the easiest recipes to make a delicious light dessert with few calories. It is a Weight Watcher recipe that I received from a friend, Phyl. It is light and fluffy and if you are counting points, 1/12 of it is 4 points. I am not on Weight Watchers but agree [...]

There are some of us that need to pay attention to what we eat most of the time lest we blow up like an elephant overnight! I, unfortunately, am one of those people. Tomorrow we are having yet another buffet at school, though this time it is a healthy buffet. Supposedly eating from this buffet [...]

This was very moist and delicious, had a hint of spice, and would also make a great breakfast. Lenore, the [...]

This is one of those recipes that is perfect for Thanksgiving but also quite delish for anytime. It is not too tedious to make but it is well worth every little bit of effort put into it. Cranberry Crumble Coffee Cake 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 2 cups unbleached flour 1 tsp. [...]

I am going out on a limb here but I just returned from the apple orchard with a bag of the most incredible Cortland apples and I know I shouldn’t get into making something with them. I live in the northeast which is Cortland country. It is a crisp, not too tart, not too sweet [...]

Okay, this is my absolute last post on zucchini for the 2009 year. Don’t hold me to that one as I have been thinking of a zucchini buckwheat muffin that quite possibly will make it to the breakfast table tomorrow morning. But, back to the business of a zucchini chocolate cake. It just seems that [...]

Having kids visit in the summer can be as refreshing as the pool itelf. I have been thinking that I am overrun with zucchini and my friend Heather’s kids are going to be coming for a swim and will definitely need some type of treat. At first I was going to make some zucchini cookies [...]
