Soft Amaretti Cookies are some of my favorites. Way back when I worked in Lake Charles, there was a bakery way too close to our office and they made these cookies. I loved them and stopped by there way too often. I started making them myself but then stopped. I don’t remember when or why...

A while back, a neighbor came over with Amoretti cookies and when wanted me to try to find a recipe to make them. She has way more confidence in my baking skills than she should have!

Monday was a pickup day for our Azure Standard order. With Azure, when we place our order, we only know the week our items will be delivered. We don’t know the day or the time. We have to meet up with a group somewhere. I had been part of a group with our pickup location...

It’s been a while since we bought a Ninja Creami. I don’t remember which model I have but if you aren’t familiar with the Ninja Creami, it’s so easy to make really great ice cream in small amounts in no time at all. When I first got it, we were making ice cream every few...

There are so many great recipes at Mediterranean Dish. I can always find something interesting to make there. When I came across this Baklava Pumpkin Pie recipe a few weeks ago, I knew I had to try it for Thanksgiving. I made it and it was very good. I will use the phyllo dough again...

This morning right after breakfast, I started stitching and planned to stitch all day. We were going to have sandwiches for dinner. I’d made fresh bread yesterday, we had roast beef and I love roast beef sandwiches with zucchini relish. Then . . Vince came in and said “Want to go to town with me?”...

Just when I’ve convinced myself that I don’t need any more pots and pans or baking dishes or ANYTHING . . a friend posts a picture of a cake she’s made in her new bee/honeycomb loaf pan. She received hers as a gift but I found it on Amazon, thought it was a bit pricey...

Friday on one of my cooking posts on Facebook, a friend mentioned that she had just made a Pinto Bean Pie and it was really good. She thought it was a bit sweet . . which is impossible for me. It has white sugar, brown sugar and molasses so it could be a bit sweet....

Last night Angie came by and brought a treat for Oscar and a treat for us. She had made this Caramel Apple Fruit Pizza and shared it with us. It was so delicious! The ingredients have been added to my grocery list. If anyone is looking for a special Fall dessert, this is a great...

In addition to baking the bread yesterday, I made brownies. It was just a box mix but . . still something else to bake. Saturday evening Vince said “Brownies would be nice!” He had worked so hard on the deck and he deserved brownies but I had dug up all the sweet potatoes, used most...

I have really enjoyed sharing my favorite recipes with you during our month-long heart-warming recipes + heart-warming project! Recipes are so much fun – they really are like sewing projects – you get all the required items together, put love and time into it…and the result is certainly special. This is why we coupled these recipes with our brand new Home in my Heart kit!

To round out our heart-warming recipes, we are making the sweetest dessert: Caramel Chocolate Dipped Pears! This is one of my top “pinned” recipes on Pinterest! It first appeared in one my newsletters a couple of years ...

I LOVE this stuff! Yesterday we went by the grocery store that has the bargains and they actually had Big Red soda. It’s kinda hard to find in this area. The cans were more expensive but the 2 liter bottles will lose their fizz before I use it all and does it even matter with...

A few days ago, Twyla commented and mentioned a Lemon Meringue Cake. I promptly responded and said “I need that recipe”. She sent it to me and it was a recipe from Lovin’ Life at the End of the Dirt Road’s blog. I’ve followed her blog for a very long time. Somehow, back in 2014,...

For the last several days, I’ve been thinking about Butter Mochi. We both love it so I know if I make it, we’ll eat the whole thing and we don’t need it. I kept thinking I’d wait til Thursday and make it, take some to Nicole and then Addie could help us eat it but,...

It seems like 30 years ago, fruit pizza was so very popular and I hadn’t thought about it til Addie mentioned having made one the other day. This is the recipe I “kinda” followed. I halved the recipe for the icing and it made more than enough for a small sheet pan (affiliate link). I...

Don’t even ask me how I came across this cake video but I struggled for a bit to make sure I understood it all since it mostly isn’t in English. The cake looked good, it looked easy and it looked like a nice little cake for two people. It has a can of Eagle Brand...

There’s a family that is always at the Farmers’ Market selling fruits and vegetables and we purchase a lot from them. The line is always long at their booth. Not long after we moved here, as I was going to get Addie, I noticed a sign on the side of the road that pointed down...

Tonight I made the Erin McDowell’s all butter pie crust. The Video: This blog post has my thoughts on her video and a link to the video. It’s over an hour but so worth watching. The Book: Her book, The Book on Pie, is beyond amazing. I have carried it around with me ever since...
