Happy St. Patrick's Day! Have a drink when you get home today! I initially was looking for something to bake that would have a green element to it, but then I found this recipe. As soon I saw the ingredients, I just knew it would be a hit. At first glance it looks like an [...]
Yesterday was National Palindrome Day! You know, the numbers and words that are the same forwards as they are backwards - 02022020. I actually started writing this post yesterday but got distracted - happens a lot these days. In any event, it made for a nice introduction to a lovely cake recipe from the talented [...]

There are versions of this chickpea [...]

Oh this is a must try recipe – unless there are nut allergies in your household. My wife and daughter had this cake – or something like it, at a tea shop a while ago. They raved about it to me which I always take to meaning I should make it. I scoured the internet [...]
I know it’s as natural as the seasons changing or night following day but it is never easy to let someone go when you love them - even if it is their time. My father passed away a few weeks back, he was 98 and I miss him very much. I often joked in my [...]
I know, it's been a while, lots going on that kept me busy. But I will make it up to you with this recipe. I call this the All-in Cookie. It is packed with a variety of flavors from dried fruit such as cranberries, currants, raisins and sour cherries all reconstituted in a bit of [...]
