When I think of Summertime desserts, the first thing that comes to mind is a Cobbler. I grew up eating Cobblers, though the version I am used to is different than the Southern version. To me the difference is not so much in the way the fruit is prepared, but in the way the top [...]
Savoring coffee just in the morning has turned into the afternoon of late. Adding a Coffee Jelly to the daily dose is probably not too smart and I know I shouldn’t have, but then how could I resist. Besides I was about to do something I had been meaning to for awhile; cut a recipe [...]
It’s a Daring Baker Challenge and this time we are going to the Opera. Well you might be going to the Opera, I on the other hand might be going to the nut house as this event brought out the perfectionist in me. Not the good give it your all perfectionist that is a fine [...]
We are also not having Tomato Pie once again as promised as it seems that in- between naps and resting; I got a little trigger happy and ordered a few toys to keep me company. My new mouse makes a click of the button so fast, I didn’t even know it happened. I signed up [...]

No bribes or threats of mediocre food coming from the kitchen to coax them out of him. Unfortunately only two very goods count. Whose counting you say? Well, I am counting. [...]
Having missed my typical schedule of an every other day post, one of my daughters called to ask me, why aren’t you cooking? Why haven’t you written? I am getting hungry and can’t eat another sandwich. Not one for excuses, I have a good reason for the stop work order in the kitchen. The end [...]
I don’t like Banana Pudding, never have liked it, till now that is. Hating to admit it, I think perhaps I may be somewhat of a picky eater. Learning to cook and eat Southern has required me
