TWD Regrets
Sorry, TWDers! I’m opting out this week. I haven’t missed a challenge in a while, but I’ve decided to take a week off. With all of the Easter treats and cupcakes around here, I think I’d go into a sugar coma! I also wasn’t able to find the amaretti cookies here in Ohio, but the […]

This week’s TWD has been very popular with the group. Everyone loves it.. including us! I made a mini version of the Banana Cream Pie, picked by Amy at Sing for Your Supper. I used a third of Dorie’s all-purpose pie crust, as suggested, but I used butter only, no shortening. I don’t know what […]
Hot Dogs and Soft Pretzels: It’s Baseball Season!
It’s spring, people! Baseball season is here! If you don’t know, I’m a Phillies fan. Love them. (If you don’t believe me.. check out these cupcakes!)
