It's National Strawberry Picking Day

Mon, 20 May 2013 00:29:53 +0000

If it were a few years ago, I would have picked my daughter up from elementary school on a day like today and gone straight to Adam's Farm to pick strawberries. Unfortunately, these days she's too busy getting ready to graduate from high school. So I guess I'm on my own for the berry picking. Oh well...

It's National Fruit Cocktail Day

Mon, 13 May 2013 09:28:40 +0000

It was our turn to bring dessert to our monthly Supper Club dinner. As usual, I was running around with my daughter on Saturday, so I didn't have a lot of time to make an elaborate dessert. I love making "different" desserts, so I came-up with this recipe. It's similar to a recipe from a long time ago. I think you'll enjoy this easy-to-make Low-fat Orange Fruit Cocktail Cake.

Happy Mother's Day!

I have to thank my mother for my love of baking desserts. Besides learning the various dessert making and baking techniques, she taught me that you can make people feel special when you bake for them. Mother always made me feel special when she made one these treats.

Pecan Pie

This was Mother's favorite dessert. Coincidentally, this is my mother-in-law's favorite too. I never cared for Pecan Pies because they were too sweet. This pie is different because it is loaded with nuts and flavored with brown sugar and butter. Yum.

Eggo Drizzlers

Wed, 08 May 2013 15:10:50 +0000

I love my job. I get to try all kinds of new products. This time I got to try the new Blueberry and Strawberry Eggo Drizzlers from Kellogg's. I can't remember how long I've been eating the Eggo® Brand waffles, but it's been a long time. The biggest thing I like about them is that they are consistently good. Now, they've come out with Eggo Drizzlers. Drizzlers come with a real fruit syrup. You get 3 packages of syrup, either blueberry or strawberry, for the 6 waffles. It was just the right amount, too. My family loved them and so did I.
