I made this pie today just because I felt like my husband deserved a treat of one of his favorite desserts! I did make a version of this recipe last October for his birthday and it turned out wonderfully–even though I failed to drain the defrosted rhubarb and strawberries–yikes liquid-ness! I had never before worked […]

Peanut Butter Cake
To celebrate Kevin’s return from his Wisconsin RNA Society Conference as well as the youth group’s getting back together after what seemed like forever apart, I tried a new cake recipe from my trusty Betty Crocker Cookbook. This recipe is originally meant to be a Yellow Cake but by substituting 1/2 cup peanut butter in […]

Lemon Meringue Pie
Back at Christmas time, before heading to my parents’ house for the holiday, I decided to bake mom and dad’s favorite pies–lemon meringue & apple respectively. The apple turned out beautifully, and the lemon meringue looked great but was not at all a pie. It was more like liquid pie in a crust. What a […]

Basic Yellow Cake
aka: Basic Yellow Cake masquerading as a French Vanilla Cake. You may be wondering why in the world I gave this cake an “alternate” title. You see, I was commissioned to bake 3 separate three-layer cakes for an upcoming surprise party. Luckily the decorating was left to someone slightly more skilled than myself (ok…ALOT more […]
