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)
Summer is coming to an end, and I am so VERY ok with that! Its been a hot summer and though I have enjoyed my beach time,gardening and farmers market outings..its time for cooler weather! When I think of fall, I think pumpkin everything ( of course), caramel/toffee, chai tea, and cinnamon! I am always… Continue reading Toffee Bars
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
In the month of May, I have had the tradition for the past 6 years to go pick strawberries here in NC. There is something about going into the large fields of green and hunting for that perfect strawberry, the reddest and largest ones you can find. It’s like therapy for me. Sadly, this year… Continue reading Strawberry Crumb Bars
I wanted to come up with a Thank you gift the other week for someone, who really helped me in s tight spot. I love doing Thank you cards, but adding a baked treat with it makes it more fun! I had found these adorable mini loaf liners at Hobby Lobby and they were… Continue reading Mini Coffee Cake
My favorite brownies have been something that goes back to my childhood. I used to make these brownies every time we had company at the house after church on Sunday nights, and to all the potluck events. I even made them in a 6th grade baking contest and won first place! Please note, that is… Continue reading My Favorite Brownies
I was craving those cookies that you get in the bakery section of the grocery store the other week. Yes, I love those cookies that are soft, “cake” like with buttercream frosting on top and sprinkles. It’s a little embarrassing to admit, because I rarely buy baked goods. But I make an exception with these… Continue reading Orange and Cream Sugar Cookie
It’s almost St. Patrick Day and that means I am making a batch or 2 of Irish soda bread, and getting a corn beef roast and cabbage for a big meal. I am not Irish; my husband says he is so we just make the meal because it’s fun and delicious, even if we have… Continue reading Irish Soda Bread
