    Decadent Homemade Brownie Mix: Bake Bliss in Every Bite

    Ingredients: I just put everything in a Gallon sized Ziplock bag, and shook it like crazy to get everything mixed together.

    End of the Month Quesadilla’s

    It’s the end of the month. You got a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Maybe you could do tacos. But maybe you don’t’ have all the toppings you really like on them. In my case, that was it. I had one pound of hamburger in the fridge, Some Corn Tortillas…

    Discover the Versatility of Our Decadent Caramel Sauce

    This all started because I wanted iced coffee to take to work in the morning. There are times when I am leaving for work at 7 am and its already almost 80 degrees. So, drinking hot coffee is the last thing that sounds appealing to me. But my favorite Iced coffee? Carmel iced coffee. When…

    Eggs In Cheese Sauce – Retr0 Recipe

    When my grandmother passed away, I received a few of her books, and one of them was a Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. Recently, I started to go through and mark pages of things I have in the house so I can try making them. I color coded them too for quick searching. Yellow…

    Remember a few posts ago when I made my very own cake mix? Well its time to give it a try! I was excited to make my first cake completely from scratch, and got started right away. The first thing I noticed was how dense it was. The batter was extremely thick, much, much thicker…

  • The GOOD coleslaw

    The GOOD coleslaw

    I am very particular when it comes to coleslaw. I think that 90% of the ones I’ve had put far too much sugar in it, or worse. They use that absolutely horrid ingredient……miracle whip. But one time I made shrimp tacos, and something felt wrong about topping it with the traditional taco toppings. So, I…

    Good news everyone! I’ve harvested my first Zucchini! I thought about saving it, and putting it in a stir fry, but I decided that I’d make something that I could see my family really enjoying instead.
