The blog has been quiet for the past couple of weeks and not because I’ve been working but because I fell down the stairs like a complete idiot and hurt my ankle, not broken but sprained and torn ligaments and it feels like it’s taking forever to heal although it’s only been 2 weeks and … Continue reading
Dinner last night with the fam plus my nephew Wyett and my niece Amber and her family. I made spaghetti with my homemade sauce, a salad, some easy homemade rolls and this beautiful cake for dessert. It said it was a coffee cake but I just drizzled some frosting on it and it was good … Continue reading
And the last recipe from Christmas, another dessert, it was good but not great, nothing earth shattering, just chocolate cake with mint chocolate on top, could have used another layer, like a ganache layer and then the candy on top but then you know me, the only thing better than chocolate, is more chocolate!

It comes from a blog called “Capturing Joy with Kristen Duke”. It makes … Continue reading

It was Zach’s birthday this past week and he is a huge Oreo fan so when I found this cake on the Food Network site, I knew it was the birthday cake for him and I was right, it was delicious and I think he ate probably half of the cake himself. The recipe for … Continue reading

The recipe comes from a blog called “Very Culinary”. These were also delic! 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled 1 cup sugar 1/2 … Continue reading
This looked great, everyone was excited about it but it wasn’t all that great. The cake was good but the nut topping actually hurt your teeth when you ate it, perhaps I cooked it too long and it was crunchier than it was supposed to be, I’m not sure but most of it ended up … Continue reading
