Hello, Lovelies! I’ve gotten an overwhelming amount of emails regarding this little wedding cake, asking what recipe I used and how I put it together. Thanks so much for the interest. Here’s what I did: I used THIS RECIPE FROM SMITTEN KITCHEN for the red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. The recipe for the…
Tonight we’re frying up some fresh trout that our friend Dave brought us an hour ago. Him and his new wifey decided to go fishing on the first day of their honeymoon and shared their catch. What great people. Always bringing us awesome things to eat. I think I’ll make some hush puppies to go…
Day one of our “stay-cation!” I’ll be posting little photo albums of our adventures as the week unfolds, and be sprinkling a few recipe posts in for good measure. On with breakfast! ….. I’ve been having fun trying new egg recipes in my kitchen. Quiches, Bennys, and omelettes! As I said in a recent post…
It’s so great when a recipe just comes together the way you want it to. These little tea sandwiches turned out perfect. Just the right amount of everything to equal a great tea treat. These were good with my iced Grand Keemun, but I imagine they would be wonderful with just about any good quality…
Happy July, Friends. Can you believe it’s already July? Where did June go? Maybe I didn’t notice it because it rained all month! I must have mistaken it for April. Hmmmmm…. Well here we are at the beginning of another month. We’re making plans for our staycation, and for the 4th, and for a very…

Gracie and I have been playing in the kitchen. Yesterday we made homemade rhubarb ketchup, magic meatloaf, and pickle relish. Today we’re making a very special chocolate dessert. Do you and your children enjoy cooking together? What sorts of things do you like to make? Here are our recipes for pickle relish made two ways.…
Here we are at the beginning of another week. We’re tying to keep it slow going and relaxing this summer, but somehow the calendar always seems to fill up. I’m not complaining though. Although we always seem to be a bit busier that I’d like, I’m thankful that we’re moving forward with our dreams and…
Oh my…what a lovely day spent with family. My grandparents (Darling and Papa) drove down from the Twin Cities for my grand girl Chloe’s birthday party today. We certainly had a full house. For lunch, picnic fare: Fried chicken, potato salad, tea sandwiches, Caesar salad, pickles and olives, Arnold Palmers…and birthday cake, of course! So…
