I’ve been viewing the posters of the new Dunkin’ Donuts Breakfast Wrap with equal parts dread and hope. Could it really be my beloved breakfast taco? From my favorite coffee place?! Having had one this morning, I can sum it up in one word: No. Anyone who knows me, (or if you read this blog) …

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake is luscious and easy. No need for extra eggs or butter, this cake comes together in one bowl.

Tonight I had the pleasure of taking a cupcake decorating class at the local high school. The class was taught by a local business woman that was inspired by a magazine cover, got some books, and started decorating. She now has a successful home catering company. Exciting!! I learned how to mix colors in one …

I’ve been meaning to get an entry up for a while. I missed all the Valentine’s Day shennanigans, so instead, I’ll bring you a cake perfect for Easter-Spring-Fiestaish celebrations.

Notice the years of cooking stains, the worn edges of the pages, binding that is slowly coming loose. This war-torn tome is my grandmother’s favorite cookbook. No, it’s not Betty Crocker, nor is it Better Homes and Gardens, though she has both of those in her collection. This particular cookbook is “Recollections and Recipes From …

Look at those lovely flecks of orange Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice goodness. I first saw these specialty Hershey’s Kisses at Target in a pre-flight snack rush. I grabbed them on impulse. Who knows when you’re going to find a novelty like that again? Plus, every time I find something amazing at Target, if I don’t buy …

So this post isn’t by your wonderful blog author, but instead her web tech and general dogsbody husband, James. She’s been nagging me for a while about posting my recipe for Rock cakes, so here you go. Enjoy! Now Rock Cakes aren’t exactly southern fare, in fact they belong more in Hogwarts than Texas, but …
