Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
What kind of fool has her oven on during the middle of the day when it is hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk outside? You know what? I am that kind of fool. I am the kind of fool that was tempted last week by a Banana Cake photo and article…
Get Well Soon
Jacob went in to Children’s Mercy hospital on Monday morning for surgery. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed, a hernia repaired and the veins in his nose cauterized. Talk about a triple whammy! He was really out of it on Monday, as can be expected, but yesterday he was back to his normal…

I have never been a huge fan of peanut butter cookies. It isn’t that I don’t like the flavor of them… it is just that they are so inconsistent. You never know what you are going to get when you bite into a homemade peanut butter cookie. Is it going to be crunchy? Will…
Excuses, Excuses
Who needs an excuse to make something cool and refreshing like sorbet? I don’t, but just for kicks and grins I will give you the top five reasons why sorbet was on our dessert menu today: The temperature today, where I live, topped at 92 degrees Fahrenheit… it was H-O-T hot! Hot chocolate just…
