I was looking for a new recipe for dessert this Thanksgiving.
I came across this one, which I have tweaked a bit.
It is like those “Dump Cakes” of the 1970’s. I have the one in the oven right now. Wish you could smell it baking

This is one of those recipes that you find on the back of the box of sugar.
I have a fabulous cook book that I bought 20 years ago called:
Best Recipes From the backs of Boxes, Bottles, Cans and Jars. by Cecil Dyer 1989
Since it is nearly Thanksgiving in the States, I thought it was time [...]

Early this morning, I thought that I would go out and pick berries for breakfast for me and the kids. My SIL has blackberry bushes around two sides of the property. A few summers back the berries were abundant. Last year, the harvest was very late; we were already back in CA by the time [...]

Last month I purchased a vat of Nestle’s Chocolate Chip Cookie dough from Costco.
Sometimes I want to make cookies for my students and I don’t always have time to make them from ’scratch.’
I heard your gasps of horror at the thought of me buying store bought cookie dough…..
When students ask me if I made them, [...]

Years ago, hubby and I drove up to Monterey and stayed at the Martine Inn in Pacific Grove.
The inn is a charming bed and breakfast on the coast of California.
Our room was wonderful, with a sitting room area that overlooked the ocean.
Finally this was a trip where we could stop frequently, and did. Unlike when we [...]

Sam is officially 12.
I know, I can’t believe it either. Pete is a bit annoyed that Sam is taller than Pete was at the same age.
Adapt – I told him.
There were 12 birthday “partiers” at my house this weekend. Eleven 12 year old boys and one petite and polite 8 year old girl, dressed in, what else? [...]

It must have been in the mid 1980’s when this famous fudge recipe was published in the local paper. I remember wanting a new fudge recipe and since this was from my favorite candy store, I was excited to try it for the holidays.
This candy store is in the Western United States…as far [...]
Pecan Pie

This recipe has been in my family for three generations. My boys make the fourth. Years ago my great-aunt found the recipe in an old cookbook. It has always been one of my favorites because unlike some pecan pies that are too sweet, this is just perfect.
Pie crust has never been one of [...]
