Recipe: So this is like my favorite dessert ever. I’m not sure why it took 4 years to post it. There are other versions like the one my mom makes for my birthday. (Yes, I get a strawberry pie instead of a cake.) Most have lots of Jello brand strawberry gelatin and some cut up …

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 …
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 …
So baked a bunch of stuff, but it is 112 degrees outside and decided against posting them until later. Instead here are 3 recipes this week to get you prepped for either the 4th of July or National Ice Cream Day, July 15th. I think these would be a great idea for an ice cream …
