Irresistable Rocky Road Brownies

Irresistible Chewy Rocky Road Brownies

My family likes chewy brownies. Tonight…I finally made a brownie that remained chewy, but has toppings to keep it interesting. This recipe is a keeper! While they were cooking, the marshmallows smelled like they are roasting over a fire. When they come out of the oven, the walnuts were all…

Blackberry Lemon Sauce

Blackberry Lemon Sauce

I am not even sure how to describe this sauce…I’ll try…it has large pieces of blackberry floating in a lemony, but sweetened sauce with a hint of rich coconut…how did I do? Not great…this sauce was really good…that doesn’t quite capture it. All I can say is that it was…

Lemony Pound Cake with Sauce

Lemon Pound Cake (with Coconut Oil!)

We host a Bible Study from our church at our home most Thursdays. It begins at 7:00 pm. Most Thursdays I also pick my daughter up from an organization where she volunteers at 5:00 pm. So, most Thursdays I am pretty busy. 🙂 But, this particular week my husband offered…

Peanut Butter Cookies

Mom’s Peanut Butter Cookies

I will always remember how much my grandmother enjoyed cookies. She seemed to enjoy smelling them baking as much as she did eating them. I remember her waking up from her afternoon nap. She would get a small cup of coffee and reheat it and she would enjoy something sweet…

Rustic Apple Tart

Melt in Your Mouth Sugar Cookies

Melt in Your Mouth Sugar Cookies

I have finally found it…a great, quick sugar cookie! The only part I am not completely comfortable with is the shortening. I will have to experiment on getting the same texture without it…stay tuned. 🙂 These cookies are soft and mild in flavor and were great, even without icing. I…

Chocolate and Cranberry Brownies with Fluffy Chocolate Icing

These brownies were born because I had the rest of a can (after making Mom’s Thumbprint Cookies) of jellied cranberry sauce sitting on the counter staring at me…really, if it had eyes, it would have been staring. 🙂 I wasn’t sure what to do with it, but I was sure…

Mom’s Thumbprint Cookies

Growing up, I remember my Mom making these cookies each year at Christmas. They are one of my favorites so I decided to make some to serve to our Bible study tonight. They sure bring back memories. I must warn you that there is one “job hazard” in making these…

Just a Spoonful of Sugar…Cookies!

A friend asked me for my favorite sugar cookie recipe and wouldn’t you know it…I can’t remember the last one I used and really liked! It is really since I have come back to the blogging world that I have actually been writing down the recipes I use so I…
