Recipe: Fudgy Brownie
Fudgy brownie. This one is good. I made a brownie back in the fall, the chewy brownie, and it was good, yet this one is thick and has way more calories. Perfection. When I made the other chewy brownie I took them on a trip to California where I was visiting my husband – he was in school, fine woodworking, for three months. He was talking one night about how the instructors would go to this coffee shop around the corner and they had the…

Recipe: Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin bread – but it’s not October?! I know. Yet it’s still so good. The pumpkin is known as a fall food, kind of like lemonade is a summer drink.

Recipe: Blueberry Bundt Cake
Blueberry bundt cake! Sweetness, especially on a sunny Sunday morning (that’s when I made it…make your bundt cake this weekend!). Okay – I usually use fresh blueberries for this recipe, but not only did the store not have them…the store was offering 2000 points (which is 2$) per can of pie filling. Since the can was 2.49$, sure, I went for it. Turned out well – my suggestion, however, use fresh fruit – it’s a healthier option. Once you’ve tried this recipe, be sure to…
