My sister is the source of this cake, but mom loved it as well. It is one of those cakes that you dream about after you’ve made it. It is gone too soon, and you always envy the person who got the last slice. If you decide to carve the cake into a shape (you …
So, this dip will sound familiar to a lot of you — but I love the fact that my mom included this with her recipes and named it after my dad. My dad LOVED his Kansas City Chiefs, although (in the words of HIS dad), “Those Chiefs can’t play no damn football.” — usually uttered …
It’s full on winter, and I’m nesting during this cold snap. My favorite (and very easy thing to make) during the dark of this season is CHILI! It is warm, versatile, and delicious. Also, you can add chili to a ton of other things to give them a kick. I’m sure everyone has a favorite …
Some times you come across something that makes everything else pale in comparison…sometimes, the world is a brighter place for having had something in it… For me, that is my mom’s hot fudge. The entire family loves it. The grandkids have been known to call grandma and ask for a jar of their very on …
Yeah, I’m getting on that bandwagon. I have trouble getting a good breakfast in the morning — it is just one of those things. I get up in the morning and I run until I leave the house, then all the sudden OMG no breakfast. And then it’s, “oh well”. WELL, “oh well” no more! …

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, …
The other day, I was at the unholy crossroad of: something is going bad AND I’ve already decided to make something else! I know you’ve been there, and how guilty you feel if you just let whatever it is go to waste. BUT I also know how hard you work to make that damn menu …
So, Life Love and Sugar makes this amazing Bailey Irish Cream Poke Cake…it is all about chocolate and alcohol, which I cannot argue with generally. It is basically a chocolate cake (with Bailey’s in it). Topped with a fudge (with Bailey’s in it) that melts into the holes poked in the cake. Iced with a …
