Quick and Easy Blueberry Cake
Quick and Easy Blueberry Cake
Easy, Delicious Blueberry Cake Recipe
This Blueberry Cake is one of my favourite dessert or cake recipes I can mix it up in about 15 minutes from getting out and measuring the ingredients right through to putting the cake in the oven. I am a very impatient person and love quick and easy recipes, particularly when I'm trying to make a cake in the middle of a busy day. Another reason I like it is because I can use any berries, not just blueberries. In fact I use blackberries more often in the late summer and autumn, rather than a...


Make Your Own Homemade Baking Mix - Like Bisquick
Make Your Own Homemade Baking Mix - Like Bisquick
Save Money And Keep The Convenience of Baking Mixes
Love Bisquick or Jiffy Mix baking mixes? Do the rising prices of these and other convenient baking mixes have you passing them by at the grocery store? I love both of these baking mixes, but the rising costs of advertising, packaging and labor have increased the prices of many of these baking mixes to almost double that of cooking or baking from scratch. Why do people buy baking mixes in the first place? Convenience, pure and simple, as well as time saved in the kitchen. But you can have al...


Mom's Pecan Pie
Mom's Pecan Pie
Mom's Pecan Pie, a simple holiday treat.
This pecan pie recipe is probably the most simple one I've ever used. It takes five minutes to mix, and as long as you have a good pie dough to bake it in, you're good to go. But it will taste as though you took hours or that it came from some high-toned bakery. For a sweet crunch you'll love, this pecan pie is your recipe. Photo partial Pecan Pie courtesy Wikimedia

It's easy as pie ~ and that's no lie!
Sometimes I like nothing better than to make complicated confectionery creations in my kitchen (of course afterward, I fantasize about someone ELSE cleaning up the mess). In reality though, I don't usually have too much time for those extravagant baking benders anymore. Because of that, I try to keep a handful of super simple (or as I call them, "idiot friendly" :o) recipes in the front of my recipe box for whipping up something that tastes wonderful but doesn't take a whole lot of time or ef...

Edge Brownie Pan- A Brownie Baker's Solution
Edge Brownie Pan- A Brownie Baker's Solution
Do You Enjoy Baking? Are You An Edge Person? A Brownie is Not a Brownie Without an Edge?
I first saw this on the Oprah Favorite Things Show for 2010. Once a year, except this year when she did it twice, Oprah picks out the coolest things that she really loves and shares them with her hand picked audiences. This Brownie Edge Pan was among her favorites! I love Chocolate Brownies. But I have never cared for the brownie in the middle of the pan. It is flat and there isn't any crunch to it. What's that all about?? You've got to have an edge to a good brownie. But when you fill the b...


Maple Syrup Information
Maple Syrup Information
Maple Syrup
Every year during the Christmas Season, one of my husbands vendors gives my husband a bottle of this Pure Maple Syrup. Besides my husband eating it on French Toast what else could I can it for? Well, after doing some research, I have found out some fantastic information. Don't take me wrong, many years ago I use to use Maple Syrup for its health benefits, but through the years I just forgot about it. You can substitute maple syrup for sugar in any recipe by using 1 1/2 cups of syrup to 1 cup...
