Espresso Hot Fudge Sauce with Toasted Walnuts

Maybe this is not acceptable use in terms of posting but I just had to. I have a very old recipe for a hot fudge sauce that hardens when it hits the cold of ice cream. How old is that recipe? Can you believe Before Food Blogging (you mean there were recipes BFB?) or even…oh [...]

Hot Slaw, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich for #Recipe Swap

I was afraid tonight I was going to have to change my name completely. I have long had intentions of changing my last name but I’ve kept my ex-husband’s name to make it easier for our kids. OK, enough is enough, right? Lauren just turned 28 and is on her own (there might be a [...]

Manhattan Bundt Cake – Bourbon, Pecans and Maraschino Cherries

Like many people, I’ve got some traditions for New Year’s Day. Nothing that would stand up to any historical perspective but just ‘our’ traditions.

Hamburger Baked Bean Casserole

A friend of mine sent me this recipe her mother-in-law had made for the 4th of July; they were a hit and I wanted to share the recipe. I used to make something very similar years ago but they didn’t have the mix of beans or the barbecue sauce so I’m looking forward to making [...]
