This is why I don’t make pie crust… My mom couldn’t make pie crust, and neither can I. Both of us are too impatient to be true crust makers. My mother bought her crusts all her life. She always thought that life was too short to make something she knew would fail. Also, something …
I know some of you out there hate white chocolate…I am not one of them, but my wife is. She’s looney, but I love her so much and I like to make her happy. SO, I went on a hunt to make white chocolate a little more palatable for her. The first thing I did …
I don’t like chocolate cake, I love chocolate but not chocolate cake…I know, I know, I am just not right in the head. Mostly it is because I LOVE a dense cake – soft and pillowy and melt in the mouth worthy. And you just don’t get that from a chocolate cake. Seriously, unless it …

My friends came to visit, and while they were here they offered to make dinner since one of them is on the keto diet. Now, I may LOVE to cook, but if you come to my house and offer to cook I am going to get the heck out of the way! Seriously, I love …
My blog has been sparse because of a family issue that required me going to Missouri for an extended period…but I’m back, and I’m finally feeling like cooking again. So let’s jump right into it. I love popovers because of cartoons. Yeah, you read that right. See there is this cartoon called “Bye, Bye, …
