kenny rogers mayonnaise carrot cake

My favorite recipe for carrot cake can be found in a little cookbook called “Cooking With Kenny Rogers.” It’s a collection of yummy recipes featuring Dole pineapple. Dole and Kenny collaborated to make this fun cookbook, and every recipe I’ve tried so far has been delicious! This cake is amazingly rich, moist, and delicious. It’s…

Are you ready for this? It’s soooooo good! My new favorite treat to enjoy with my afternoon cup of tea!

carrot cake zucchini bars + lemon buttermilk icing

Ahhhhh, it’s finally Friday. My favorite day of the week. I’m headed up to the library to return some books and take out more. I’ve been reading like books are going out of style this summer! One after the other. I’ve stopped a couple mid book. Just couldn’t get into them for whatever reason. There…

I adore springtime tea gatherings in the garden, on the front screened-in porch, or under the little green umbrella on our deck. Nothing says spring like carrot cake, and this one is extra special because…

I hit the cookbook jackpot today while antiquing and thrifting downtown Red Wing. I found several vintage volumes that make me so happy, including the Tassajara cookbooks, a few by the Frugal Gourmet (Jeff Smith), a Mark Bittman classic, a hardcover copy of Beard on Bread that looked like it had never even been opened,…

carrot cake paradiso

It stormed here a couple days ago. The kind of dreamy snow storm with the huge, puffy snowflakes. I have been dreaming about the beach lately, sort of wishing we were planning some exotic, warm, tropical escape…but there’s something awesome about getting snowed in too. When the snowflakes start to fall, and they call off…

honey candied oven roasted carrots

With all of the rain, the gunmetal grey sky, and the blustery winds coming through bluff country, you can tell that winter is on it’s way. I’m tempted to make nothing but soup and not leave the house, but I’ve made myself go out for a walk every day to soak in as much sunshine…

Looking for a quiche that’s healthy and delicious? I make quiches several different ways, but none of them are as healthy as this one. It seems like most quiches either have a fatty, pastry crust or a filling that includes too many carbs (my crustless quiche is yummy, but it calls for 3/4 cup of…
