Yesterday, DH came home from the grocery store with some strawberries that smelled SO good! …like *real* strawberries. 🙂 I was inspired to make some spur of the moment strawberry shortcake. I used this recipe from Southern Living. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 1 stick butter, […]
I found a bread recipe on recipezaar.com that I modified it a little. It makes wonderful soft bread and is so easy my 11 year old daughter can make it by herself. The recipe, as originally given, had a lot of yeast in it so the bread would rise quickly to be ready in a […]

The snowflake cake turned out beautifully. I initially tried white chocolate for the snowflakes, but it had a yellow tint to it, so I decided to use almond bark instead. Much whiter. I liked the way it looked. I googled < snowflake clip art > and copied the ones I liked into Print Shop, where […]
