A few months ago my grandson tugged on my shirt early one morning. He proceeded to tell me that he was hungry for “briskcus”. Unclear as to what he was saying, I asked him to repeat his request again. Still unclear we went another round or two when it dawned on me what he wanted. [...]
My week got away from me as usual- Macaron marathon baking once again, 350 of them to be exact! I agreed to donate that many for two events and spent the better part of my early mornings before work and my day off crafting those devilish little French rounds of joy……
I am pleased to say that [...]
Oven buttered corn fingers is one of those recipes that lingers with you as you move from childhood to adulthood, never forgetting how wonderful they were when you found your mom taking them warm out of the oven. Not only were they extraordinary by themselves but they also signaled a good dinner to accompany them. [...]
This is one of those recipes that caused a great deal of excitement in my kitchen. Not only did it give me license to buy more than my share of “pie” pumpkins- but it also gave me license to use pumpkin as an ingredient in Southern cooking.

The French Toast Casserole was so good, I had all I could do to stop myself from having seconds. The only reason that we resisted temptation is that in [...]
Being awakened by the smell of breakfast in the kitchen while I got ready for school was an everyday occurrence. My entire family sat at the table together for breakfast and then again for dinner. In today’s fast passed lives most families don’t even sit at the same dinner table anymore.
Breakfast has always been my [...]
First off, this has been a long time coming and oh, how I missed you all. With my schedule for the month of July, I barely have enough time to do anything- including eating. Cooking, writing, and visiting my favorite blogs (there are many) have had to take a back seat these past weeks.
Why is this post [...]
