Carrot Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

March 27, 2013

Do you love a good slice of Carrot Cake? Boy, I sure do. I love a good Carrot Cake, and have been making it for many years. I usually make it in two round 9 inch cake pans, and then stack and frost them as beautifully as my time will allow. You can see that recipe here. [...]

Stuffed Pork Loin

March 25, 2013

I have recipe a little bit out of the ordinary and extra special for you all today. Because Easter is approaching, and because I don’t have a lot of “fancy dinner” recipes in my archives. Which is due to very simple fact that I am the Mom to many children who need more from me than a “fancy [...]

Fabulous French Bread (Renewed)

March 22, 2013

The recipe I have to share with you today, is one of my favorite recipes of all time. In fact if I had to pick a tippy top favorite, this one just might be it. I usually make this bread several times a month, I love it so much. I have shared it here, back [...]

Strawberry White Chocolate Pie

March 20, 2013

I’m not sure how I’ve lived the life of a food blogger for 3 1/2 years now and have failed to share this fabulous recipe with you thus far. The very notion that I would keep it to myself is verging on scandalous and sort of rude. Truly. It’s not that I wanted to hoard it for myself [...]

Easter Brunch/Easter Dinner Recipes

March 18, 2013

Would you agree, that this is a glorious time of year? I love the fresh sunshine, little kids riding their bikes and frolicking about in the front yard, tulips poking their stems out of the cold ground, blue sky (something of a novelty after a smoggy winter here in SLC), birds chirping outside my window [...]

Irish Soda Bread with Orange Zest and Raisins

March 15, 2013

I have been curious about Irish Soda Bread for some time now. I have seen recipes for it popping up here and there around the Internet and wondered if it was wonderful and tasty or kind of dry and boring. I don’t really care for dry and boring. (Not really my cup of tea, if you know what I am saying [...]

Mint Chocolate Brownies

March 13, 2013

Some of you may remember that I posted a killer brownie recipe several months ago. I called them Linda’s Fabulous Brownies, because my cousin Linda gave me the recipe and because they are fabulous. I try to lay it all out there for you in a simple way, alright? I like simple. Simple is something [...]

Simple French Bread Pizza

March 11, 2013

Many of you know that I have a house full of children. A combination of teenagers, one tweener and two little kindergarten boys are what we are dealing with here on a regular basis. Needless to say there is never a dull moment. Sometimes I find my self wondering how a girl like me got [...]

Boston Cream Cupcakes

March 8, 2013

Boston Cream Cupcakes, ladies and gentlemen. Moist yellow cake is filled with a rich, creamy pudding and topped with a glossy, decadent layer of chocolate ganache. I could eat one every day for the rest of my life and die a happy, content woman. That is, if all of my children turn out to be loving, law-abiding citizens who come [...]
