Summer barbecues, cookouts, get togethers. It is that time of year. I can smell the fresh cut grass, hear the birds, and taste the whoopie pies. Whoopie pies are a chocolate cake cookie with filling.  If you have never had the pleasure of eating one of these delectable delights, then make haste to your kitchen [...]

After my last post about raspberries and cream and how delicious raspberries are, etc., etc., etc., I figured I’d also post another recipe that has that same delicious combination of tastes. This recipe is makes a sweet bar but can be cut into small pieces to be served on any buffet. It includes my favorite [...]

I  recently received a request for a recipe for Chocolate Mint Bars, still yet another green dessert for St. Patrick’s Day. I cannot take credit for this recipe. My daughter-in-law prepared these this summer for our trip to Lake Powell. Funny story: Amy spent a lot of time making them so that we would have [...]

I just thought of a very simple recipe that is delicious and green and would fit in great for any St. Patrick’s Day celebration. I make this in the summer which still would be perfect this time of year as it is light, delicious, and would taste great after a large dinner and what buffet [...]

Tomorrow is our school Christmas or Holiday dinner. I need to bring something so I figure I‘ll be safe with some type of dessert. I don’t feel that great today, in fact I could use about 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, so I decided to bake a bar cookie (I won’t have to stand around [...]

Today is pizzelle baking day. It is snowy and getting close to Christmas so it is the perfect day to do this. Pizzelles are fun to make. I love the smell of them baking in my little pizzelle maker. There are many different recipes for pizzelles but my favorite is one that I received from [...]

Just thought I would post some more chocolate cookie recipes now that the holidays and the cookie baking season are here. Does that season ever go away? I think not. Enjoy these recipes. The whoopie pies are an old family recipe (which means I probably have a lot of relatives out there), the mint [...]

Most of my desserts that I serve my family are usually easy but do take some time to create.  Sometimes I just don’t have the time or the energy to spend an afternoon in the kitchen. I thought I would include a few easy dessert recipes that don’t lack the homemade taste. [...]
