I was given this recipe to try, and boy am I glad I did! It fit in with my Pantry Staples concept. You probably have everything in here so no reason to leave home to buy anything. Flour, baking powder, water, olive oil, sugar and cocoa – or in my case I used Milo, that [...]
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 [...]
Okay who made pumpkin anything this Thanksgiving weekend?! Yes me too, I made a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing. Moist and delicious just like a carrot cake but with pumpkin. But this recipe isn’t about the cake (I didn’t take pictures so can’t blog about it, but it was a hit so will definitely [...]
This was an experiment – it could have gone either way, but if it went that way – you wouldn’t be reading this. Oh it was a pleasant surprise! A delightful soft cookie with flavor combinations that really aren’t that unusual when you think about it. I’m sure if you have been to Italy you [...]

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 [...]
Sweet potato! In a cake?! Well why not! Not much though, just ½ a cup, but it lends such richness and an earthy sweetness to this cake. But the real star is the boost it gets from the addition of the seasonally available blood orange. Only a little time left to get them, the season [...]
Oh these are grown up brownies and they are good! I would typically say “I know, I had you at bacon!”, but I’ve added scotch and pecans to the title - so really take your pick at where I had you! In any event, now that I have you here, you need to try these. [...]
So we started off the 2018 Christmas Treats with Mum’s Fruitcake, so let’s finish it off with another cake. I will serve this cake as the main dessert (along with all the cookies we made). The recipe reads very well and is from one of my favorite sites – epicurious, so I know it will [...]
