Last weekend my friend Mary and her family held a cancer fundraiser in honor of their son Sean who passed away from cancer.

Here’s another recipe from Pampered Chef’s “Simply Sweet” cookbook which I highly recommend investing in if you like to make desserts like I do. I did not make my cookies giant size, just regular size and they are for the grips at work who always take care of me and make sure that I have … Continue reading
Last night at church we had an event to celebrate the Young Women who have graduated from high school and are getting ready for college and the next phase in their lives. I was on treat duty so I found this recipe on a website called http://www.spoonforkbacon.com and decided to give it a try. It … Continue reading
We had some friends coming over for treats last night so I thought about this recipe that I’ve been wanting to try and it seemed right since summer is here (or is here and gone, here and gone, due to the unpredictable weather!)

They are really good, slightly different texture and taste than regular brownies, due to the brown sugar, but I really liked it. I did a little bit of … Continue reading
Another one from my big blue file of “recipes to try someday”, this one from the April and May 2008 edition of the “Taste of Home” magazine. These are for my friend Jill’s wedding shower tomorrow morning. They are topped with both streusel and glaze so I can’t imagine that they would be anything other … Continue reading
