How many of you remember Magic Cookie Bars from waaaay back when? In the past – waaaay back when, I made these delicious, gooey bars quite often, but I can’t remember the last time I made them. That was until I stumbled across the recipe in my Loveless Cafe Desserts Cookbook.
Late this afternoon the sun came out and the day was warm, windy yet warm. I took a stroll out to see if the bees were out and about and they were. Some flying around and many just hanging out on their porches. I decided to remove all the mouse guards to give them more […]
As the end of 2012 fast approaches I find myself reflecting back on events that took place in my life and kitchen. The biggest event in my life would be Miss T heading off to college, leaving her parents as “empty nesters”. I enjoyed the beautiful beaches of the BVI’s and USVI’s for the first […]
About 12 years ago, when LuLu was in high school and Miss T was just a little thing I was given this cake as a thank you by the mother of another high schooler, who was tagging along with my family on a ski vacation to Taos, New Mexico. It was “spring break” week and […]
Only one day until my CM gig. I’ve been thinking about it often. Who will be there? How many questions will I be asked, and about what? Will I be given favorable reviews at the end of class? There are only 6 seats available. I feel good about that! I enjoy speaking before a crowd. […]

Home sweet home! Miss T and I had a great time away from home but it is always sweet to come home. We had some fantastic “girl” time while down in Austin. Austin is a beautiful town, vibrant, busy, and earthy. This past weekend the music festival SXSW, which stands for south by southwest, was […]
Spring Break! It’s half over. UGH! That went waaaaay too fast. I’ll be taking a short break from blogging for the next few days. If you too are on spring break I hope you are making the most of it and having a ball at whatever you are doing. Miss T and I will be […]
Time for a sweet post in “orange” month. These cherries in orange liquor turned out to be a wonderful topping for a bowl of Blue Bell Vanilla Bean ice cream; which I ate for lunch! As I smacked my lips (I was home alone so as not to annoy any family members) with every bite […]
