Continue readingCandy Corn Pretzel Bites
I have a confession to make. I have a weakness for Candy Corn. I usually try to make it until at least October before giving in and buying a bag. This year I didn’t quite make it. The third time of coming across it at the grocery store had me tossing it in the cart. […]
Continue readingPeach Pit Jelly
One of my favorite things about summer here in the south is that you can find peaches everywhere… and if you’re lucky enough to live near an orchard, you can grab a whole box of them without spending a fortune. There’s so much you can do with those peaches. We spent a little time this […]
Continue readingOld Fashioned Vanilla Custard Ice Cream
Is there anything better than a bowl of rich vanilla ice cream, freshly churned? While it takes a little time to make a custard style ice cream, it’s well worth the effort. If the recipe below sounds like a little much, cut it in half for a smaller portion of ice cream. But really, who […]

These delicious cookies are full of coconut and vanilla with a little rum for flavor and of course plenty of sugar to make them sweet and crunchy.

Continue readingSimple But Rich Chocolate Fondue
I remember having a little chocolate fondue pot as a child. It was one of those simple ones with a tea light in the bottom. I loved getting it out and “making” dessert for my parents and my sister. While I don’t have the fondue pot anymore, I’ve enjoyed sharing the same fun tradition with […]

Whenever I send my husband and daughter to the store, they come back with a pack of brownie bites. I’ve finally gotten the hint that they both like these small brownies with plenty of corners. With school about to start up again (and thus the need for lunch box treats and after – school snack) […]
