It’s time for another Secret Recipe Club post! I’ll tell you, I really love how being part of the club forces you to get to know someone’s blog, writing style, and photography style. It can be too easy to hit the StumbleUpon button, like what you see, but then move on in your everlasting quest …
It’s no secret that I love fruit butters. So this summer, when my cute-as-a-button friend, Jen from My Kitchen Addiction posted her recipe for Peach Butter Bundt Cake, I was all over that. Except I didn’t have any peach butter. And a distinct lack of will to make peach butter that week. Luckily, Jen’s pretty …
Kahlua Pie has been a family favorite at my house for decades. Make it mini or make it full-sized. Just make it! Kahlua Pie has always been a big deal in our family. Nanny made it a lot, especially at Christmas time, when my Uncle Charlie would request it as his “birthday pie” – he …
Bluebonnets and Brownies 2011-09-01 1 hour 1 pie The other week, Jennie put out the request that we all make a peanut butter pie for the ones we love. I was definitely inspired, only, the one I love is as anti-peanut butter as you can get without actually being allergic to peanuts. I was pretty …

Is there anything better along-side some good barbecue or beef stew than a thick slab of warm cornbread, slathered with fresh butter? I’m going to guess the only thing might just be this maple cornbread. I’ve been on a bit of a maple kick in recent weeks, well, a) because I am SO ready for …
Remember the other day when I said my niece and nephew no longer have high fructose corn syrup in their diets? Well, not so surprisingly, that makes ice pop purchasing kinda difficult. This summer has been a never ending parade of learning to read labels for my sister, and a whole lotta saying “No”. That …
For the past four years, I’ve been harboring a not-so-secret addiction: my Keurig. If you know me in person, or follow me on Twitter at all, you already know my deep and unabashed love for all things Keurig and Green Mountain Coffee. I’ve talked about them so much and so often that at a recent …
I can hardly believe it. In just a few short days, my nephew Davey enters Kindergarten for the first time. I’m so excited, freaked out, flabbergasted – and I’m just his aunt!
