Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I wouldn’t say I LOVE vegetables, but when cooked properly and with the right amount of seasoning they can be really tasty. I think even kids might enjoy these especially if you cut them to look like spaghetti like I did here. You could substitute garlic powder for fresh garlic. This dish is fast, full …
Aside from the favorite song I try to remember every day “It’s just another day for you, you and me in paradise,” here is a quote I found on a journal in Barnes and Noble. Tomorrow I’ll have the recipe for my new cookie: triple chocolate hot cocoa cookies! But the photos didn’t turn out …
Shirley Jarman submitted and won the National Beekman Contest with this recipe. That’s right, she won a trip to NY and everything from our very own St. Louis, MO. We’re so proud of her! She is wonderful and so is her pie. It was the BEST lemon meringue I’ve ever had! And now we …

This is one of my top 5 favorite cookies. They are easy to make, look pretty and have a hint of ginger flavor to go with the semi-sweet chocolate. You would think the flavor combination wouldn’t work well, but it’s the best. I made these because they were on the cover of Martha Stewart’s Cookies …
If you have any questions at all, please ask! I know I could spend a month writing about what I do and not cover it all here. I am just giving a basic list of what has worked for me. There is a plethora of books and blogs that instruct on how to take good …
This is another one of Todd Wilbur’s Copycat recipes from one of his Top Secret Recipes books. I have never had the original at the Cheesecake Factory, but this cake is delicious. The chocolate is subtle in the red velvet and the cheesecake flavor really comes through in the layers as well as the icing. …
This is a great go-to side dish for any occasion. The vegetables are readily available all-year long, but are most are in season during the Fall and Winter months.
