While browsing on Pinterest last week I ran across a few recipes for blueberry muffins and my pregnancy cravings kicked in. I’ve been thinking about blueberry muffins ever since and have been dreaming of the morning when I’d wake up to make them and enjoy them warm for breakfast. Well my friends, this morning is …
This week, I’m making about 200 cookies to go into goodie bags for 80+ soldiers who are deploying from my husband’s unit.

Also in Salzburg you’ll find Mozart Chocolate Ball, made by a Salzburg confectioner in 1890 and named after Mozart. I picked up a …
Seriously, who doesn’t love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? I grew up eating them for lunch almost everyday day. If it wasn’t for lunch, it was a snack. And although as an adult, I don’t each them as often I did as a kid, they are still a staple in my daughter’s life. This …
I’ve been trying to recreate the recipe my mother used on all her chocolate cakes. It was a rich, thick chocolate fudge frosting that firmed up just a bit after it had a chance to set up on the cake. I remember she used melted chocolate and powdered sugar, but I never wrote down …
