March 9, 2011

Halloween Candy Cookies

November 5, 2010

Yes, Halloween has come and gone but the candy still lingers! My two children were very ambitious trick or treaters this year and collected just over twelve pounds of the stuff. This is the official amount as they weighed it on our scale. We all love candy however, enough is enough. I secretly stuck some [...]

Apple Buttermilk Cake

September 30, 2010

The weather finally cooled down a little and I am ready for some baking. I am much more of a cook than a baker but in the fall and winter I like to make simple cakes and muffins. There is nothing like picking fresh apples and then taking them home to bake with . The [...]
