I don’t know too many people who don’t like pineapple upside down cake. The thick, caramel syrup combined with juicy pineapple and paired with tender sponge cake is nearly irresistible.
So, last night, when trying to come up with a quick dessert to round out a spicy Thai meal Upside Down Cake was pretty much a […]

There are some recipes that have been around a long, long time..and you try them and think…
Why?
But strata is one of those ancient recipes that began because some busy homemaker had some leftover ham, some cheese, a few eggs, and not much time. It has stayed around because, well, it is just good, simple […]

When I read the challenge for this months Your Mother Should Know by Steph from Dispensing Happiness I knew that it was going to be more of a challenge for me than for most people. The challenge was to make something from the year before your mother was born…and my mom was born […]

I got married in March of 1980. The amazing this is that we are still married because we used to have amazingly stupid arguements, like who ate the last of the ice cream. I think that our marrige survived largely because of a certain synergy between Marc and I- I cook, he eats. […]

You know, when I say, the best, I mean it right?
I like making pumpkin bread with home grown pumpkin because it is naturally sweeter I think. This past year I didn’t grow any, but it is on the garden plan for this year. Pumpkin is just so good for you, it is too […]

Cold weather is at it’s best with something like Maple Crumb Cakes for a wintery breakfast! The quiet early morning, the pink sky…and the fire crackling in the fireplace just make things feel comforting and warm…even though it was cold.
Marc is working part time at Home Depot. I think it has been good for him […]

You know that I love old cookbooks. They don’t depend on prepackaged things, or microwaves…Just brilliant ideas, and lots of good ingredients.
Now, I don’t know how you feel about bran muffins. Some people love them ad some hate them. I love them. At least these. You can put raisins in them, or figs, or dried […]

A Victorian Rose Poundcake recipe? Me?
Yeah.
I am really all about chocolate when it comes to desserts. I like things to be intense. When I painted I painted still lifes on very dark backgrounds, very much in the style of the Dutch Masters of the 1600s. When I listen to music I like it to be […]
