After sharing this cake, I had several requests for a tutorial on cake decorating. Here, I walk you through a Batmobile cake, but you can make any shape you wish! Read More …
I’m back! And it’s Monday, so it’s time for another recipe! It’s funny, four years ago I discovered that a good way to ignore the passage of time is to be 8 1/2 months pregnant on your birthday. I wasn’t the least bit interested in turning 30 because I had a baby on the way Read More …
A few years back, I wondered if I could replicate the traditional Luau Pork in a crockpot, to serve at a Hawaiian themed party. Internet searches led me to a variation of this recipe, which is both wonderfully flavorful and wonderfully easy! The only catch is that it takes a lot of time. It stews Read More …
I love mushrooms! Especially cooked mushrooms. That flavor is just oh, so delectable! So last week I decided to pull out an old recipe, for Portobello Mushroom Burgers!

This is a very old cake recipe. It goes back to the depression era when eggs, butter, and milk were both expensive and rationed, so some genius (who is lost in the annals of history) developed this cake. I’ve seen it referred to online as the “Wacky Cake,” “Crazy Cake,” “Depression Era Cake,” and the Read More …
Yum! I have had a very hard time finding breadcrumbs that I can buy. Not very many varieties of bread (especially sandwich bread) have egg in them, but for some reason, most breadcrumbs do contain egg. This is a conundrum to me. But as a result, we seldom make recipes that require breadcrumbs, because of how Read More …
