If your New Year’s resolution had anything to do with dieting or healthy eating, please be warned. This post is not going to help you keep that one. Just go on somewhere else and forget you ever came here. Seriously. Turn away now!
Still here? Good…me, too.
This is a recipe that I first saw at a fellow [...]

Banana Nut Bread

This bread fits my family perfectly. We’re all either bananas or nuts. Really. A family get-together with all of us is like being in the middle of a comedy show. I have the two most adorable, entertaining granchildren you could imagine. They are always saying or doing something hilarious. For example, today Mag, the three-year-old, said [...]

Texas, ya’ll! Cattle…Cowboys…Cheerleaders…Sheet cake! Sheet cake? That’s right, sheet cake!
This is one of those oldie-but-goodie recipes. You know, the ones that everyone loves and no one knows the origin of? (And, yes, I do realize that I just ended that sentence in a preposition. Thank you.) This one was adapted from the recipe in Southern Living [...]

I knew the minute I saw this recipe in Southern Living Easy Entertaining that it would be a big hit at our house. And since it was a Southern Living recipe I knew that it would be very good. Southern Living, is after all [...]

Red Velvet Cake

June 8, 2009

It’s been a really long time since I baked a cake. I don’t even remember the last one I did bake. So, last weekend I thought it was just time for one. And what could be better than a good old Red Velvet Cake? With all that yummy cream cheese and toasted pecans. How can [...]

Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

April 4, 2009

This recipe is from Rachael Ray on the Food Network. I saw her make this along with some other things for a 30-minute breakfast on her show one day.  30 minutes. Yeah, right. Maybe if I’d already had about 6 cups of coffee.  Needless to say, it takes me something more than 30 minutes to [...]

Slow Cooked Oatmeal

February 23, 2009

Is there anything better than warm, creamy oatmeal on a cold winter morning? Not much, in my opinion. Even better is waking up knowing that that warm, creamy oatmeal is already waiting for you. If you plan ahead and make your oatmeal in the crockpot the night before, all you have to do is put on [...]

Overnight Sweet Rolls

February 11, 2009

These are another of BeeBop’s favorites. They are so good. So easy, too. Especially nice if you have a house full of overnight guests because you prepare everything the night before and bake them off the next morning.  But, I’m not going to lie to you. They are jam-packed full of buttery, sugary calories. That’s why we have [...]
