Applesauce Spice Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Applesauce Spice Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

As I was saying last week, something about fall just makes it so much fun to spend time in the kitchen.  Every recipe I see makes me want to give it a try.  All the warm spices, harvest veggies, and hearty soups and stews make

Peach Upside-Down Cake

Well, friends, summer is reaching its end.  All the kiddos are back in school, I actually felt something resembling a chill while sitting outside the other night, and I’m starting to play the annual game of what I like to call, “Bug hubby to go 

Sopapilla Cheesecake: Two Ways

Sopapilla Cheesecake: Two Ways

Food-snob alert: If you detest recipes that start with, “Take one tube of dough…”, avert your eyes.  This recipe is definitely not for you. It is full of refined sugars, chemical preservatives, saturated fat, and processed carbs.  It bears the name Sopapilla without having the

   Hello, friends.  It’s been so long since I’ve posted… have you forgotten about me?  I’ve been  lost in a whirlwind of work-completing, house-packing, stuff-moving, house-unpacking, baby-growing, and more recently, baby-waiting, that I just haven’t been able to take the time to pull together something

World Peace Cookies

Hi, all.  Sorry for not being around here lately.  Truth is, it’s been a pretty long, sad, all-around-rough couple of weeks for my family and I, and I just haven’t had the heart to make much in the way of dinner. Or lunch. Or breakfast.

  Ok, we have to talk.  It’s about… the cake.    It’s not the cake, it’s me.  I just can’t do it anymore.  See, it’s bathing suit season, or rather, it would be bathing suit season if Monday Cake Days hadn’t wreaked such havoc on my
