Cookies for Levi- Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars

By kmorganmoss • Oct 6th, 2008 • Category: Desserts, Main Post

This is by far my favorite post of all time and for a multitude of reasons. The first reason is that I made these Chocolate Peanut Buddy Bars for my grandson-Levi. The second reason is that they were made as a celebration for the move of Lindsey and Levi to Charleston. I am so ecstatic [...]



Millionaire, Million Dollar or Million Calorie Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

By kmorganmoss • Oct 4th, 2008 • Category: Desserts, Recent Posts

The South is known for it’s “Millionaire” or “Million Dollar” cakes, pies, puddings and anything else that you can possibly think of. You most certainly don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy one of these rich buttery treats, though I do believe that you need to be thin enough or not care that you are [...]

Pecan Cheddar Biscuits in all their glory deserve a place in the kitchen larder as the holiday season is approaching. There are countless recipes for this Southern tidbit that has a place at every party and social gathering, including having on hand for drop in guests.

Fall is officially here and seeing that it is my favorite of all the seasons for a multitude of reasons, a celebration was in order. Celebrating with a cake seemed like the best way to do this, especially when the recipe called for apples.
Growing up in the Northeast allowed me to sample some of the [...]



Georgia Pecan Brownies & Ten Tips for Better Brownies

By kmorganmoss • Sep 19th, 2008 • Category: Desserts, Recent Posts

You could hardly call me a Brownie Connoisseur, though I have most certainly had my fair share of them. To say this is the best brownie that I have ever had is an understatement. It also means that even though I like an adventure and am always on the lookout for a way to top [...]



French Butter Cookies

There is nothing like homemade cookies to make your week brighter. Especially if they are accompanied by the pleasure of watching your loved ones dive head first into the cookie jar-over and over again. Cookies have a great smell as they bake in the oven and the smell continues to linger as they come out [...]



Blueberry Muffins with Caramelized Pecan Streusel Topping

By kmorganmoss • Aug 23rd, 2008 • Category: Bread

As the summer bounty of fruits and vegetables are slowly coming to an end. I find myself preparing as many dishes as I can, cooking and baking with my favorites. I also find myself, continuing to schlepp my bags back and forth to work even though it is too hot to schlepp anything except myself [...]



Sweet Potato Biscuits

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 [...]



Homemade Bourbon Vanilla

Making your own baking powder is the norm for me now. Getting around to making my own Bourbon Vanilla was just a matter of time. Almost every Southern cookbook has this recipe or refers to the simple task of making your own vanilla extract. Apparently short of the finest vanilla which comes from Mexico this [...]

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 [...]
