As per most get-togethers, I was asked to bring my scones to this weekend's bridal shower. However, there was some discussion as to which variety. My two sisters wanted chocolate chip as well as blueberry scones. But my nanny and mom are partial to the cranberry orange version. So - I made all three. Since… Continue reading More scones

Fudge Frosting
This is a great fudge-y frosting for topping cookies, frosting cakes or just eating with a spoon. What? Doesn't everyone do that? Today, I piped it on top of my Melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread. I also used the extra to slap between two graham crackers - a super easy family favorite treat. Fudge Frosting 2 ounces semi-sweet… Continue reading Fudge Frosting
Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
My favorite thing about these quick little shortbread bites is that they really do simply melt in your mouth. My second favorite thing is that there's only 4 ingredients - all of which you probably have in your cupboard already. Melt In Your Mouth Shortbread 1 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup… Continue reading Melt-In-Your-Mouth Shortbread
Free Cheese!
I love couponing. It saves me so much money. I cannot believe I used to pay full price for things at the grocery store. I love this site and this site. They help me stay on budget for groceries. Tonight was possibly the most fun I've ever had at Albertsons. Why? Because I got free… Continue reading Free Cheese!
Lemon Bars
The key to great lemon bars is to use lots of fresh lemon zest and juice. The bright tart lemon is a perfect complement to the rich buttery crust. This recipe will fit into a 9x13 casserole dish just fine, but you'll end up with a thinner bar. I like my lemon bars to have… Continue reading Lemon Bars

Buttermilk Cornbread 1/2 cup butter 2/3 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup cornmeal 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon… Continue reading Buttermilk Cornbread and Honey Butter
BBQ Wagon Wheel Stew
We came back from sunshine and 80 degrees yesterday and woke up this morning to blustery rain and a chilly temperature of 55. Seemed like a good night for stew. My daughter saw wagon wheel pasta at the store our last trip and has been begging for it ever since. This stew was the perfect… Continue reading BBQ Wagon Wheel Stew
Dutch Apple Pie
My husband is not really a fan of sweets. Which is probably good since I'm baking all the time. However, he loves pie. So, on top of all my baking for going away this weekend - I made him an apple pie. I'm one of those people who views the crust as simply something that… Continue reading Dutch Apple Pie
Rice Crispy Treats
I know what you're thinking. I don't need a recipe for rice crispy treats. I've made them since I was 12 years old. The recipe is on the back of the cereal box for Pete's sake! Just hear me out. Have you ever had a rice crispy treat that was too dry? Too skinny? Skimpy… Continue reading Rice Crispy Treats
