As part of my (and my hubby's) new budget, we've cut eating out from our life for a couple of months in order to try to pay down a big chunk of our car loan. As a result, I don't get to go have my favorite pizza at The Rock, and I've been craving it… Continue reading Pizza! Pizza!

Chicken Florentine Casserole
I had just put this casserole in the oven when my husband walked in the door from work today. The first words out of his mouth were "Man, something sure smells good!". I responded with "It could be the bacon, or the sautéed mushrooms, spinach and onions. Or possibly the Parmesan cheese cream sauce." It… Continue reading Chicken Florentine Casserole
Perfect Pancakes
My kids absolutely LOVE pancakes. Especially my son. "With SYRUP!" is his typical exclamation when I tell him I'm making pancakes for breakfast. It's adorable. This is my go to recipe for a perfect short stack. I've modified the daylights out of the original recipe as I've made these at least 50 times. I first… Continue reading Perfect Pancakes
The Best Cookie Ever
At least according to my husband. Of all the cookies, cupcakes, muffins, breads, truffles, cakes, snacks and candies I make, this is the only item my husband loves. Actually, he says it's the only cookie that matters. Everything else absolutely pales in comparison. In order to make amazing peanut butter cookies, you must include super… Continue reading The Best Cookie Ever
Drizzled English Lemon Pound Cake

He says back in the home country (England) they have a lemon pound cake thing that has drizzles of lemon running… Continue reading Drizzled English Lemon Pound Cake

I still prefer lemony deliciousness over just about anything else. This recipe is from the May 1989 issue of Bon Appétit magazine (which you can purchase online for… Continue reading Lemon Cheesecake
Bakerlady Scones
I've posted this recipe before, but I have a lot of new readers who may have missed it. This is my absolute most requested treat. I have never had a better scone. Seriously. You may think "a scone is just a scone", but you are wrong. You only think that because you've never had mine.… Continue reading Bakerlady Scones
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
This recipe started with a Baileys and Chocolate Cheesecake recipe I found. I have never made a no bake cheesecake because I very much enjoy the baked kind - and I've heard all kinds of stories about no-bakes not setting up right. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try. I intended to make it… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
Cake Bites
I stumbled upon this recipe while reading another baking blog and thought I'd try it out. I adore bite sized treats because you get to indulge, but not really feel badly about it. The thing that really drew me in to try these was the thought of using my cake scraps to make them in… Continue reading Cake Bites
