Here we go again, yet another post about zucchini. Like I said before, there is an over abundance of this little vegetable/fruit. I have been searching through my old family hand written recipes and found this one for zucchini bars. Looking it over, I decided to make it for breakfast. I only wanted to make [...]

The raspberries are abundant right now. I went out and picked to my heart’s content. I love to eat them with a touch of whipped cream. Unfortunately, my husband rather eat them in a cake. Being the nice wife that I am, I whipped up a delicious raspberry cake, not that I mean to brag, [...]

Living in the northeast does have its advantages. I enjoy picking the various fruits as they come into season. We have a lot of local farms that allow berry picking. Blueberries are now in season and are worth the effort to pick them fresh. I sometimes freeze them. The best method I have found is [...]

After contemplating what to have for dessert, I decided on a combination that is hard to surpass! I wanted something sweet that included chocolate. The raspberries are in season right now so I opted for a chocolate cake with fresh raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream! What a great taste!  This a perfect light dessert [...]

I had a great day fruit shopping today. I was able to find the last box of fresh, native strawberries. Sad that the season is ending, but glad that the imported strawberries have been quite delicious. Strawberries are such a pleasant tasting fruit. I chop some up for my morning cereal or load them on [...]

Fourth of July celebrations will be occurring this weekend. I look forward to the backyard barbecue and a day of lounging in the pool, sipping on pina coladas, and munching on various summer treats. This is the weekend that I succumb to the grilled hot dog, chips, beans, and potato salad. Who can resist? I [...]

We have a monthly holiday at our school, called Pastry Club. It is a food holiday, goodies baked up by people that know their food and have their priorities straight. After all, what could be better on a Monday morning than a perfection confection? There is nothing. Nada, not a thing. I haven’t written about [...]

I was just asked for my opinion on a graduation cupcake. My friends and not friends all know that I love to give my opinion. Who doesn’t? I have opinions about just about everything, though wise enough to know when not to voice them. When it comes to cupcakes though,  I always say chocolate is [...]

One of the good things about growing older, (and I mean one, as there are not too many good things about growing older), is that tastebuds somehow become more sophisticated. My mom used to prepare this recipe and her and her sisters would rave about them. True, they did have some chocolate in them, but [...]

One of the great things of belonging to a family of bakers is the recipes that have been handed down to me. I have been going through old handwritten family cookbooks. I am trying to find recipes that have stood the test of taste and time. Most of these recipes bring me back, way back, [...]
