Earthquake Cake:Feel the Earth Move…

 
I normally don’t use cake mixes, we all know that. And you guys know that I am all about organic, whole foods.
But we all need junk once in awhile and this cake should be on everyone’s list of quick, easy, and ROCKIN’. So please, before you tear the chef hat off my head, and strip […]

How to Revisit Childhood in One Easy Step

I am getting in the mood for Autumn, and the holidays, not because the weather has been cool and rainy..because it hasn’t! We are hovering around 100 today again with high humidity that makes you want to suck the air into your body through a straw.

Chocolate Sheet Cake

Well, tonight is home group at our house again. If anything I am more unprepared than I was last week…I am starting to think that this is the way my life is now-chaotic and unorganized. What a kick in the pride!
