My lovely beach vacation has ended. It was a great trip! I made some fast easy meals, so I’ll have some updates coming. I also read a fantastic food related book, Foodist. It’s a great book talking about how to create a “healthstyle” that works for you. It’s written by the blogger of SummerRead more
Happy Birthday, Dad and Grampy!! If you want to check out how we’ll be celebrating please see the fabulous, legendary German Chocolate Cake recipe. This is my dad’s birthday tradition, and I’ve taken over making it since my mom’s been doing it for the past 30-some odd years. I’ll be making it even more epicallyRead more

I hadn’t originally planned on posting this recipe because I wasn’t totally thrilled with the results. However, after refrigerating the leftovers, I realized the secret is in serving it slightly chilled. The cake has buttermilk in it, and with the tangy flavor from the cream cheese and sour cream in the frosting, I thought itRead more
A few days ago I had a few friends over for dinner and expanded their vegetable eating ways! I love getting people to try new things (or things they think they don’t like) that they end up liking! Becky ate peas, which she was surprised had such good flavor. My secret is to just pourRead more
Welcome! As I’m starting to do some catering I figured a blog would be a good place to keep track of my recipes and experiences.
