You must make this cake.  Even if you don’t really enjoy apple cake or coconut.  This cake is the bomb.  I know it’s spring, and I should be posting something with strawberries or freshly snapped peas, but I just couldn’t wait until fall to share this treasure with you. It begins

Baby Butterball Chive Biscuits

October 26, 2009

While I was baking these biscuits today I could hear my husband teaching our daughters the rules of football. You see, my husband loves football, but unfortunately he married a girl that doesn’t care for it much. I encourage him to watch and will even make him “game” food, but

These are my all time favorite muffins.  Quick and easy to prepare and so delicious. They are rich and sweet, with lots of pecans.  It’s like popping a tiny pecan pie in your mouth.  They make the sweetest house warming gift; wrapped in celophane with a ribbon on top. Tiny Pecan

Oh my, I can’t even tell you how good these are. I have always had an infatuation with gingerbread pancakes and the other day I finally got around to creating a whole wheat version. These pancakes are light and fluffy, filled with the wonderful flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and

  Summer is definitely in full swing here. We have spent many an hour swimming and at the beach and now we are on our summer trip with the kids. Being in the South it gets incredibly hot so in the afternoons, when we’ve had our share of the sun,
