Perfect as an afternoon snack in the office when you’re looking for that extra energy to get you through the day. Definitely better than getting something from a vending machine. You might even bring some extra… because if your office mates find out you’re eating one of these delicious and appealing bars… they’re going to…
“When my dad used to make this… he’d be in the kitchen for at least half a day. Making sure everyone knows what he’s doing. Every move was slow. Deliberate. And calculated… He’d make me think I’ve done something good… and for it… I’m being rewarded…” My husband would often this whenever I make this…
This recipe was inspired by my friend Theresa. She made this for Thanksgiving and posted an inviting photo on her Multiply page. She was kind enough to share her recipe. And gave me permission to share it with you here. Thank you Tess! I altered her recipe just a little bit. Instead of using margarine. …
I was amazed. Shocked. Mesmerized. And seduced! Seduced! I can’t believe it. I didn’t know a cheesecake had the power to seduce me! I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving. This cheesecake was unbelievably good. Smooth. Creamy. Perfect balance of sweetness and a hint of tartness from the lemon juice. It was addictively good. Seductively smooth.…

Nothing compares to the homemade pies made from scratch. Nothing. Well, OK… Fine. I will admit to one brand. Edward’s Lemon Meringue Pie. Edward’s Lemon Meringue Pie is my husband’s favorite pie. His face radiates with excitement like a little boy receiving his favorite treat each time there’s a slice of Edward’s Lemon Meringue Pie…
It’s Wednesday, a hump day. I think we all need to take a small break with a huge treat to get us through the rest of the week. I decided on a cheesecake, with Oreo cookies crust and topped with cherry pie filling. My son is going to love this too. Cheesecake is one of…
