about me:
I've always loved baking, a love I come by naturally from my mother who was a traditional Southern cook and loved to make cakes, cookies, and other sweets.

Anything requiring sugar and butter! ;)
Monkey Bread
My Sister makes this for breakfast and it is almost addicting. It is super easy to prepare, but is extremely decadent tasting. You can make a cream cheese frosting to top it off if you really want to indulge. Your kids will definitely love it! (I think she may have named it for her little monkey...ok, child, Sam)
Kentucky Butter Cake
This cake, from a family friend, was made with oleo- a.k.a. margarine -but I've replaced it with real butter. This is absolutely sinful and a must try for anyone who loves rich cake.
Idle Hand Bars
These sinfully delicious peanut butter and chocolate dessert bars are out of this world. As a "sweet" fanatic married to a "salty" fanatic, it's always a struggle coming up with desserts that can be shared and devoured with equal gusto. These bars are the solution.
Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta
QUICK, CREAMY, TASTY AND AFFORDABLE!
Skinny Lemon & Strawberry Cheesecake
This is a tasty recipe I came up with the other day when I had a large tub of Cottage Cheese (Cream Cheese) that I needed to use up. I’ve called this a “skinny” cheesecake not only because it’s relatively low in fat/calories but also because once it has been baked and “sets” it is rather skinny in size – but still very tasty ! I garnished it with thinly sliced Strawberries, but you could use any other fruit you happened to have on hand or you could just leave it plain if you preferred. Enjoy !
