Its not Fall unless you have a Caramel Apple. Well, that’s at least my philosophy!I have been making them for years, and every year I get family and friends asking when they can get theirs. I have given them away for gifts, so they know the drill! There is just something about a crisp apple… Continue reading Caramel Apples
I must say the Banana Cinnamon Crumb Bread recipe is popular one in my house. It is the one that is most requested all though the year. Snack time, breakfast treat, gift giving..it’s all that! My kids like me to add chocolate chips, I like it with pecans and my husband likes it plain..ya, so… Continue reading Banana Cinnamon Crumb Bread
We have officially entered my favorite 3 months of the year. Oct-Dec are months of traditions, creativity, and opportunities to be generous and reflect on our blessings. Its a time where you plan on practicing generosity and spending more time with family and friends… I just love all of that! I don’t know about you,… Continue reading Happy Fall
If you don’t know me (and chances are pretty good you don’t) let me just say that I’m a little crazy about scones. I love all things baked, but it’s the idea of a warm scone and cup of tea that warms my heart. I have been visiting tea rooms all over east coast for… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Scones
Gobs are a delicious delight I was raised on as a child. My grandmother made them for every holiday and every gathering we ever had..we always anticipated her gobs. I had no idea that GOB was another word for Whoopee pie until I moved to the south. I was thinking they had it all wrong… Continue reading Pumpkin Gobs ( Whoopee pies)

I have been fascinated with farmers markets this summer, and all the beautiful berries. I can not just simply pass them by! The berries have been so gorgeous that I have been wanting to explore making things with them that I have never made before. Jam and jellies are what I was raised on. Every… Continue reading Blackberry Jam
Blackberries are very nostalgic for me. As a little girl, I spent the summer months at my grandparents. They were very old school, so there was no form of entertainment but the good ol outdoors! There where two places you could be. Kitchen with grandma while she cooks, cans and bakes or outside with grandpa… Continue reading Blackberry Cobbler
With the days getting hotter and more humid, I tend to shy away from making tea time. I usually reinvent it with ice tea and keep it at that! But then I start missing the pure joy I get from pulling out my China and inviting a friend over for conversation and cup of tea. I… Continue reading Summer Tea
Last year I did a blog on how I started a new tradition with my daughter to do spring break adventures. I am by nature, not too adventurous. I’m really boring to be honest, I like familiar things and don’t branch out much if I’m not persuaded. My daughter Emma is always seeking to do… Continue reading The Tradition Continues!
