I haven’t really had much to say lately. Not much has been going on. Lots of work. On my day off Thursday, I ran to the garden center and picked up a couple flats of annuals. Came home and got them in the ground. Yea, for getting something accomplished. Loving the new washing machine. Besides…

Root Beer Bundt Cake
I enjoy baking quite a lot. But cakes are not my favorite to make. There seems to be much more pressure on the final outcome. Now cookies, cupcakes and brownies…no problem. They all seem easier, more care-free to make. At any rate, we’re heading over to Michele’s for a cookout this afternoon. I’m bringing the…
a holiday weekend treat
Greg and I celebrated the start of the long holiday weekend last night with pizza and beeritas on the patio. A few years ago, I put the beerita recipe on my blog. I thought that perhaps now would be a great time for a re-introduction. My good friend Michele discovered this tasty concoction at a…
banana split brownies
We’re having a Cinco de Mayo party at work tomorrow. My friend Martha sent me this recipe last week. Words can not describe these chocolaty treasures, so here are the photos. Yummy scraps to snack on for the next couple of days.
easter treats
While we were in Columbus this weekend, I checked my favorite food blog Smitten Kitchen and saw the post and photos for Chocolate Caramel Crackers. I knew then, exactly what I would be making on Sunday. According to the recipe you can use either matzo or saltine crackers. Even though it’s Passover, I couldn’t find…
when life gives you lemons
I still had lemons, damn it, and I was determied to make something with them.
the requested muffins
A certain someone (you know who you are) has been requesting these muffins almost daily since I brought them to work a while back. So here they are again, the banana espresso chocolate chip muffin. Aside from the ‘nana mashin’ they are pretty easy to make. One batch done, perhaps another batch tomorrow before I…
the cookies are everywhere
It’s that time of year again…the cookies have arrived from the girl scouts. You remember, those cookies you ordered a month or two ago. Those cookies that you planned to freeze, yes, that’s why you bought four boxes of thin mints…to freeze them so you could enjoy them for many more months to come. But…
happy birthday to greg
The Gregster celebrated the 37th anniversary of his birth yesterday. We ran errands earlier in the day then joined a small group of friends at Dewey’s Pizza in Cleveland Heights. Dewey’s was the first pizza that Greg and I shared when we started dating when he lived in Cincy. It’s some damn good…
baked
Continuing with the theme that this is definitely not a food blog, I made some treats this evening to take to work tomorrow. I baked Orange Almond Blueberry Muffins from a cookbook I mentioned earlier in the year. I had to taste one before taking them tomorrow. Quality control…you know. Greg and I split it,…
