I’m on the fence about whether I should post today’s recipe — a lemon pound cake made with cream cheese. The recipe is from a very old and not-so-reliable source and pan size, cook-time….everything in the original recipe seemed to be wrong. The catch is, after I’d made some adjustments, the end result …

Glazed Peanut Butter Bars

by Anna on July 30, 2007 · 5 comments

I wasn’t planning on baking cookies today, but Taste of Home magazine showed up in the mail, and page 31 had a very tempting photo of some glazed peanut butter bars. Fuzz had gone next door to play, so I took a few minutes to whip up a batch. The original recipe was submitted …

Here’s a recipe you don’t run across every day. It’s an old one — a very basic caramel cream pie which was invented in 1952. I believe it was a bake-off entry. This pie is very easy, but there is a lot of cooling and chilling time involved, so it’s a good pie to make [...]

The Third Bad Thing

by Anna on July 26, 2007 · 4 comments

Bad things really do happen in three’s, because I just broke my “e-business turns on your brain” mug. I’m glad the series of bad things is complete, but I did love that mug.

Pumpkin Bars with Boiled Frosting

by Anna on July 24, 2007 · 9 comments

It’s been quiet here. Not literally, because there are always kids around…yelling and stomping; but nothing very interesting has happened, so I’ve decided to make my own excitement by planning a mid-August trip to Las Vegas. If you have any Vegas tips, send them my way. I’ve never been and am enjoying the process of [...]

Ah, red velvet cake. Is there a better cake to end the week with? Well, yes. But I had a bottle of red food coloring, a cup of soon-to-be-bad buttermilk, some butter extract and 1/2 cup of Crisco to use up, so I went with red velvet. Besides, a few months ago I’d promised I’d [...]
