Bake Someone Happy…Baking in 1980

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. […]

The Best Pumpkin Pecan Quick Bread

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 […]

Easy Make Ahead Bran Muffins

 
You know that I love old cookbooks.   They don’t depend on prepackaged things, or microwaves…Just brilliant ideas, and lots of good ingredients.

Victorian Rose Pound Cake

 
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 […]
