Here is a light and delicious blueberry cake with a delightful crumb topping. I made this to accompany a chicken parm dinner as I figured it would be a light ending to yet another fulfilling meal. Great choice. It is not too sweet and definitely will make an appreciated breakfast or snack treat. I used [...]

Today is one of those bittersweet winter days as there is no school due to an impending storm which in itself is a wonderful thing, but on the other hand, come June, this snowday really puts a damper on having an early summer vacation! I guess you can’t have it all. But wait! Today, February [...]

Hallelujah! Finally a holiday that surpasses Groundhog Day, especially since the little rodent decided that we would have 6 more weeks of winter! What am I rambling on about? Frozen Yogurt Day!

Today was our monthly pastry club day. As always there were 2 excellent desserts, a carrot cake and chocolate brownie bar. The person, Sue, who brought in the brownie dessert told me exactly how she made it and whoa, easy!!!!! One of my coworkers, Edward, thought these were very incredible. Just look at the picture!

One of the teachers at my school, Krystal, brought these delicious cookies to school for our Healthy Buffet. They, if you follow WeightWatchers, are 1 point each, which translate into diet friendly. These cookies were very moist and mouth watering. Very good Krystal! I found out today that Krystal made a little error while baking [...]

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 [...]
