Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: I just checked out “Storyteller” by Jodi Picoult from the library. I used to LOVE Jodi Picoult, but then you get tired of her formula and you stop reading. But, it has been a year or two so I’m ready for another controversial topic + drama + courtroom + antagonist not really the …
Another moist, tasty treat from our book club last week! I have not been able to post too many recipes because I have been plowing through Bobby Dean’s new book “From Mama’s Table to Mine” and making failure after failure from that book. I’m totally done with it and will never look back! The food …
I’m in a book club where each of us picks a book each month to read. Usually, it is fiction, and if you are Alison you will like it if it has a happy ending. 🙂 My friend this month chose “Eat Cake” by Jeanne Ray which was a really fun read and also …
Book Update: Yeah… still working on that final. Recipe: I grew up with strawberry jell-O poke cake. You know the one where you stick holes in a white cake, pour jello all over it, top it with some Cool Whip and throw it in the fridge? Yeah, that one. It’s yummy. It’s a great cool …
Book Update: I finished reading “The End of Overeating” by Dr. David Kessler and highly recommend it. The book does get technical, but fully explains why we crave food the way we do. Well, for some of us. Not everybody can look at a bowl of M&M’s and go “meh.” So, he discusses the brain chemistry …
Most of us here in St. Louis are very familiar with ooey gooey butter cake. It is a dense layer of yellow cake underneath a luscious gooey layer of cream cheese. Very easy to make and this one is, too! I found this recipe was really good the same day, but even better when refrigerated and eaten …
This cake was awesome! We stored it in the fridge due to the cream cheese filling and it was still delicious 3 days later. Even if you don’t want to make the entire thing, the frosting is exceptional. I’m trying to think up other applications for it – maybe cupcakes or muffins. Very simple and …
These were so delicious they deserve their own post. My second most favorite cake (#1 is strawberry) and my cousin Dorothy is dying for the recipe, so here it is! I created the pumpkin cake pop for my cousin’s wedding and her dessert buffet. That will post soon! If you don’t have lollipop sticks, simply …
I looooooove strawberries! They are my favorite food ever! So, naturally I love strawberry shortcake and anything strawberry related. This recipe has a few steps and I did break it down over two days, but it was really worth it. Plus, now I have a super awesome way to make cream cheese whipped cream by …
This cake is crazy chocolate good. You could even just make the chocolate chip cookie dough part as a raw cookie dough substitute. Roll it into balls instead of putting it on the cake or just eat it out of the bowl. Plan to make this at least 2-3 days ahead of time to allow …
