Let's BAKE!
I am sharing my recipes that my family and friends have enjoyed for years.
I love muffins for breakfast, because they are so quick and easy to make. These muffins are moist and tender, filled with blueberries, with a wonderful lemon flavor and a hint of thyme. To give these muffins more lemon flavor, I added a lemon icing, and then I sprinkled turbinado sugar on top for an […]
Pop tarts are hand pies made with a pastry crust, a fruit or sweet filling, and topped with an icing. They are simple to make, and much more delicious homemade. These little hand pies travel well for picnics, lunches, and they’re great for an anytime snack. I start my Cherry Pie Pop Tarts with my […]
My son’s favorite cake for his birthday has always been my Chocolate Cherry Cake. This delicious chocolate cake has a yummy cherry filling, with a creamy chocolate frosting.

Every Christmas I give my daughter Turtles Brand Caramel Nut Clusters, because she loves the combination of pecans, caramel and milk chocolate. I took all the wonderful flavors of pecans, caramel and milk chocolate, and put them in these delicious Turtle Bars. I started by processing pecans into a fine crumb, and adding them to […]
Cherries and chocolate go so well together.

You and your kids will love making these delicious Apple-Walnut Monkey Muffins, and they are so fun […]

These cookies are also called, Russian Teacakes or Mexican Wedding Cookies. My Snowball Cookies are filled with walnuts, rich in butter, and have a melt-in-your-mouth texture. They are covered twice with powdered […]
Years ago I attended a wedding reception where the wedding cake was a Red Velvet Cake. I fell in love with the red cake, with a hint of chocolate, and the cream cheese frosting. Since then I’ve been wanting to make red velvet baked goods. I’m writing this during Christmas, and my friend Nori is […]
I think you’re like me, you love Snickers, since you’re reading this post and looking at my recipe for Snickers Macarons. Snickers Candy Bars were introduced in 1930 and is the world’s favorite candy bar. I know one thing for sure, it’s my favorite candy bar. So, since I love macarons, I just had to […]
