Chocolate Covered Sunbutter Eggs

     Last week I was visiting one of my favorite blogs, TidyMom. (It truly is a place for everything! ; )  Cheryl over there was sharing a recipe for her Homemade Peanut Butter Eggs.  Ohhhh, how I wanted one!  In fact, I have been missing Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and the Reese’s PB Eggs that come out every Easter, for years now!  But peanut and peanut butter anything Read More

Betty’s Apple Crisp

apple-crisp-and-ice-cream


Many delightful plans come to mind, with the first inkling of Autumn in the air, and this year has been no different for us.  Baking is one of them, and at the top of that list, is always Apple Crisp! (With a scoop or 2 of vanilla ice cream, please!)

I admit, we are not above some Apple Crisp topping-help from a box. We’ve done that, and enjoy it! But Read More

Camp Site Eclair

I was brainstorming about a good dessert to have for Father’s Day coming up,

when I came up with this idea:  A Camp Site Eclair Dessert.

I know the Daddy in our family, loves camping, fishing, and marshmallows! So this whole dessert was going to make him very happy, because there is a whole lot of marshmallow fondant involved! And as a bonus, there are other surprise treats everywhere!

Earth day Cupcakes

There are times that the things we creatively do as a family, or the ideas we have, happen ON a holiday or special calendar day. So naturally they do not get blogged until after the fact.  Since we like our readers to have the opportunity to take our ideas and find creative inspiration from them, or flat out borrow the ideas, I like to try and share (or re-share) those Read More

No-Bake Eclair(s)

I’m going to be quite honest with you here:  This dessert is quick, easy, and sooooo good.

I’m going to be even more honest than that:  It’s not quite like real eclairs.   It’s more of a…. fun spin-off, of real eclairs.  But you know, everyone is going to eat them all up, just like that, anyway.  So does it really matter?

I’m thinking, ‘not really’.  So here we go….Read More

There was more than a smile, in THIS box!

The other day, I got the surprise-of-my-life.  The kind that left me in a daze for the rest of the day.  And into the next day.  OK, seriously……I’m still kind of in a daze about it.  I don’t even know where to start with this little story.  I feel speechless, and yet, you and I both know this post will probably end up ridiculously long, once the words start … Read More

Deep Fried Ice Cream. (Yes, Seriously.)

Aside from the occasional batch of donuts we make in autumn now and then, which was well worth buying a fryolator for alone, deep-fried anything is just not a part of our diet.  But when we came across this recipe, it had us so curious, we just had to try it.  The way we saw it, it was kind of like a science experiment.  And if our experiment was successful … Read More

Easy Chocolate Ice Cream w/ a Hint of Coffee

The other day, {A} asked me if she could make some ice cream.  “Ice cream?” I asked, puzzled.  “Yeah, Mama. Ice cream.  I’ve made it before and it’s really good!”  “Uh huh” I answered. But I was thinking, ‘Don’t you really need an ice cream maker for that?’

So got out all of the stuff, and I started taking photos.  You know, just in case this one turned out ok. … Read More
