With Valentine's Day just two weeks away, maybe you're starting to think about a special dinner, dessert, or gift for the love of your life. I told my husband "I'm making a sweet tater pie for my sweet tater." He answered by asking "who's your sweet tater?" Oh well, I tried. He also added that if I keep making pies, he may end up looking like a sweet potato. . . . Continue Reading

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
I can't think of one person I know that doesn't love pizza. Traveling husband and I are no exception. Recently we were in Chicago and had deep dish pizza twice in 4 days. I think it's more truthful to say we ate deep dish pizza everyday of our trip but only went to two restaurants. Left over pizza is the best! I'm always looking for ways to make this American staple a little . . .

No. 4 Chocolate Cream Pie
Here we are already at pie No. 4 with 48 more to go. Since there's not a lot of fruit currently in season, I'm going to fill in with readily available ingredients. And besides, when is chocolate NOT in season??

Chocolate Pecan Pie
Chocolate Pecan Pie - a family favorite for generations. This deliciously fudgy, rich, sweet and nutty pie is my most requested holiday pie. In fact, this is the only pie our daughter will eat. She says she doesn't like pie. Go figure! Yup, not buying that one! Even if you're not a pie lover, like our daughter, or have never made a homemade pie, I bet this is one you'll love and can . . .

Lime & Coconut Fruit & Nut Bars
It seems like most people in the blog world know all about Larabar's and probably have a favorite flavor or two. I loved (note past tense) the Key Lime Larabar but can't find them anymore. Our local Wegman's had a big sale on that flavor ($.79 each!) and I bought all I could get my hands on. But now they're gone and I want some more! Why do I like Larabars?  They are all . . .

Peanut Butter Puppy Treats
I am so excited about this recipe! I've searched, researched, investigated, and perused various publications all in an effort to find the perfect dog treat! I think I've mentioned before that we have three dogs at our house.  Husband and I actually only own one dog, but seem to be the adopted grandparents of the other two. Grandparents, especially grandmothers, are responsible for fun . . .
