Spice Cookies
Today I was feeling a bit nostalgic and decided to make some spice cookies. This recipe was passed on to me from my mother and this is one of my favorites. These are wonderful to make just before having company over, as the house will smell of molasses, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Spice Bread
Tomorrow is the first day of fall in 2015 and my house certainly smells like that is the case even though it still feels like summer outside. Today, I had the urge to make some loaves of pumpkin bread. Over the years, I have tried many different recipes but by far my favorite is from…
Peppermint Sugar Cookies
Today has been crazy! Since today did not go as planned, I had to scrap the original cookies that I was going to make due to the time crunch. Stay tuned tomorrow for a chocolaty treat 😉 We all have these kind of days where we can’t find time to bake. For these days, I…
Mint Meringues
For Day 2 of cookie baking, I chose a cookie that everyone loves because they are so light and they melt in your mouth. Mint meringues are not cookies to be frozen but they do keep for weeks very nicely as long as they are kept in an airtight container. If you do not like…
Gingersnap Cookies
Today is December 1st, the start of my cookie baking season! I love this time of year, the cool, crisp night air and the beautiful lights and people just seem a bit happier.

Twice Baked Potatoes
Today we woke up to rain and temps in the 50’s in Tucson and it finally feels like fall! Out came the long sleeve shirts, pants, and jackets. So what better to have for dinner than baked potatoes. My family likes just plain baked potatoes served with some chives and sour cream or even just…
Halloween Ghost Meringues
How would you like a nice sweet treat to make for your next Halloween party? How would you like that sweet treat to only take minutes to assemble? How about if it only uses five ingredients?
Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler
Even though this may not be healthy in the traditional meaning, I believe that in moderation we should all be able to enjoy a little bit of something sweet! This past weekend we had a wonderful time picking peaches at Apple Annie’s orchards. As a result, I have been on a hunt for a new…
Meatloaf Night!
Not many people get excited when meatloaf night roles around but in my house everyone looks forward to my take on the old-fashioned loaf of cooked ground beef. Add to the meatloaf a side of mashed potatoes and a salad and you have a wonderful hearty meal. Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground beef 1 egg ½…
