Bananas Foster Pecan Crunch Cake
So, I got away with not making resolutions for the New Year, but my question is, “If I want to celebrate Fat Tuesday like a rock star, must I give up something for Lent?” Does one have be Catholic to get the most out of Fat Tuesday, or can I celebrate and wake up ...
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Don`t worry, I’m not going to spew about the weather again, except to say ... it’s so hot, the chickens are laying hard boiled eggs. Thanks, I’m here all night! Of course it’s hot — it’s July. And what treat is front and center in this patriotic month? Ice cream, ...

Oatmeal Trail Mix Cookies

Spiced Eggnog Cake with Eggnog Frosting
The season to indulge, smile, shake hands and kiss babies is upon us. And, of course, ’tis the season to enjoy a libation or two (or four) each and every night. At least that’s how I enjoy the season. Yes, I’m sentimental that way. Champagne, hot buttered rum, spiked...
