This is another addition to a collection of all-in-one and skillet-to-oven dishes. Since I have read more negative things about non-stick surfaces, I have been using my cast iron more and more often. The cast iron simplifies cooking and makes for a speedy clean-up. And since I have … oh … a bushel of apples… …
So… I got an email the other day asking for 6 cakes. Carrot cakes. The kind that requires lots of shredding of carrots and toasting of nuts. Now I see why box mixes are sooooo convenient and desirable. I think a box mix would have been about $3 and the crap frosting in a can …
Recipe: I couldn’t decide which recipe to post, so I picked both! Make sure to scroll down for #1 and #2. I like adding blueberries to fruit recipes. They add another dimension of flavor, color and uniqueness to the dish. I’ve done this before with the cherry blueberry pie recipe. Normally, I use frozen peaches …
This is a kid-friendly, family-friendly, summer-friendly recipe that has been updated from a typical pudding and oreos 9×13 slab. The kids love the worms and “dirt” made of crushed Oreo cookies (or Trader Joe’s Jo Jo’s) Dirt Cup Trifle serves 16-20 people (you may want to halve the recipe for a smaller group) 15 oz. …
There is a serious lack of desserts lately! I’m sorry. But, this recipe will make it up to you. I promise. The chocolate cake is dark and moist. The layers of cookies and cream are like the tasty cream filling of an oreo cookies (I used Trader Joe’s Jo Joe’s). Now after making this, here …

Casa Gallardo had the best deep fried ice cream sundaes, but they closed all of their restaurants and I haven’t found something that tasted close. This recipe comes really, really close – …
Book Update: Our book club over “How Children Succeed” by Paul Tough was awesome! What a great springboard to some great questions about society, parenting, teaching and children. My new books are both by Abraham Mlodinow. The most recent published books is “Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior” which is more psychology and physiology. …
Book Update: The things that we are told to make us happy is a total lie. I feel so used. Ok, not really. But, I read about this cool term called “hedonistic adaption” which explains so much! So, hedonism is that term we forgot from high school that is a school of thought where pleasure is …
Book Update: Yeah… still working on that final. Recipe: I grew up with strawberry jell-O poke cake. You know the one where you stick holes in a white cake, pour jello all over it, top it with some Cool Whip and throw it in the fridge? Yeah, that one. It’s yummy. It’s a great cool …
I know I try to post only whole ingredients and replace mixes, but there was this sale…. and well, the cookie mixes were practically FREE! So, I bought some to experiment. If you ever need something fast and easy AND outstanding to take to a pot luck that looks homemade – THIS is it. Perfect …
