We love a great cake in our house. Hell, let’s be completely honest, we simply love c-a-k-e in this house, sometimes the crazier, the better. But, we’re madly, deeply, crazily in love with this chocolate cake. Yep, I’m willing to put this baby up against any other chocolate cake you’ve fallen in love with. It’s …

Oh, momma…look at that! Dream Bars are everything you dream about in a bar: balanced sweetness against a flaky crust with a filling that makes you Mmmmmm in delight. This recipe was handed down to me from The German (my mother, for the uninitiated); I have no idea where it originated, but am grateful that …
Garry loves him some pecan anythangs. (Anyone squinch at my mastery of the English language? ~snort~) About a month before his birthday, he sent a cake recipe to me and the following conversation took place. Garry: This looks good. Can you make this? Me: As in can I or will I? Cause you know I’m …
It’s apple season! Wait, no it’s not. But, that doesn’t matter, does it? No! It doesn’t! What time of the year is the best time to bake your favorite (or soon to be new favorite) apple recipes? Anytime you’ve made a run for a jumbo bag of organic apples, that’s when! Wadda ya know…I just …
I’m always…ALWAYS!…on the hunt for a new brownie recipe; they are a family favorite. While flipping through my recipe file, I found an old recipe card that had nothing on it except this brownie recipe. There was no attribution. No historic notes. No chocolate smudges. Nothing.

Are you like me and already thinking about what kind of cookies you’re going to bake for Christmas? YOU ARE?! This is why we’re friends!

These bars were a huge hit with pretty much everyone I shared them with the first time around and I didn’t want the summer to pass us by before sharing the recipe again. I likey buttermilk. I am fond of plucking a lime from my tree to stuff into my beer. I adore shortbread. Combine …
More cobbler, y’all! First there was this one, made with blueberries and strawberries. Today, there is peach…PEACH COBBLER! Nommy nom nom. Before we get started, I did use fresh peaches in this cobbler, unlike last time when I used frozen blueberries and strawberries. Fresh or frozen works, but because it’s summer and fruit is a’plenty, …
Oh, mah babies. THIS. This cobbler came out of my oven smelling of sweet summer fruit and light cakey droolgoodness. I had to remind myself not to take a bite until it had cooled enough so it wouldn’t remove the skin from the roof of my mouth. THE TORTURE! As a good Southern gal, I …
