This time of year takes me back to Elementary School… we used to prepare for Thanksgiving by coloring Turkeys. (We also talked about Pilgrims, but I never could get my head around why they landed on a rock.) Back to the Turkeys…. To draw a Turkey the teacher would have us trace our hands, and then […]
Pumpkin Ginger Bundt Cake (minis) fit the Fall perfectly. You see, Fall is Pumpkin everything season! The way I see it, you can either run screaming the other way, or you can embrace it, and alter it to suit your tastes. I went with plan B. To me, pumpkin tastes somewhat bland and a bit […]
I love baking for Halloween. It’s a great chance to be creative and fun, without stomping on anyone’s pre-conceived ideas of what HAS TO BE BAKED (seriously, I know a few people who go absolutely batty if they don’t have their Gingerbread at Christmas, or Chocolate Cake at a Birthday). Here are some really CUTE […]

Vanilla Crescents or Vanille Kipferl come with a history lesson…. seems they were invented by the Austrians to celebrate a victory over the Turkish army in some war or another (which one is not important… there were so many…. and there won’t be a test, so you can stop taking notes.) Can you just picture […]

I found these Spider Cupcakes Kids and Adults will love on the Lindt Facebook page. They are super easy to make… and quite delicious to eat! Being me, I made a change… I gave the spider a head. I firmly believe that spiders need heads (so they can see to stay out of my way). Also, I had […]
Spring Break is here, and Easter is rapidly approaching, this means that the kids are home, and need “something to do” because they are “bored”. (Never ceases to amaze me, in a house full of games, toys, and electronic devices, they are bored…. I wish I had time to be bored). Edible Bird Nests are […]
It must be time to bake this Easy Pumpkin Whoopie Pie Recipe… why? well, I’m walking through the Grocery Store, and I notice they are starting to load up the aisles with Holiday food items. Makes it tough to get the cart through without causing some serious mishaps (honestly… I do feel REALLY bad about […]
Why do I make special Halloween Chocolate Mousse? I was thinking about the Holidays… already getting the calls from my mom and sister.
