One of my husband’s most favorite treats is peanut brittle so I always try to make several batches for him at Christmas. Of course he doesn’t eat it all because others in the family, myself included, tend to love it too. It has also become a tradition to send a large package of it to [...]
This cake almost always gets rave reviews. It is similar to the one Ree over at Pioneer Woman Cooks calls The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever. The only difference I can find is that my recipe includes a teaspoon of cinnamon and is cooked in a 9 X 13 inch pan rather than [...]

Readers of this blog may remember the abundance of pecans we have had this winter. I cannot begin to say how many my husband has picked up so far and the ground is still covered. Two friends came over today and picked up enough to fill several boxes that pretty much filled the back seat [...]
