Well, Cinco de Mayo is coming up this weekend, and we all know what that means…TEQUILA! Such a great song, I always think of the Pee Wee Herman movie when he jumps up on the bar and starts doing the dance in those big ole shoes with that goofy look on his face. Next thing youRead More
In a perfect world, no one has Celiac Disease. Or lactose intolerance. Or diabetes. Unfortunately so, this isn’t the case, and it seems as though these problems are more common now than in the past. A close friend was going through a rough time with constant stomach issues a few years ago. After running manyRead More
Four glorious words, all rolled into one delicious dessert. I like it. I originally found this recipe in the Philadelphia recipe book, a book filled with tons and tons of recipes using Philadelphia cream cheese. I love cooking and baking with cream cheese! This is one of my favorite recipe books to look through, becauseRead More
This past weekend, we took a family trip to the beach. Myself, my daughter, brother, sister-in-law and nephew all packed in the car and went to my parents house to harass them for the whole weekend. Lucky them! After the cupcake contest Friday evening, I was talking with my mom and sister-in-law about different ideasRead More
About a month ago, a very close friend’s mother lost her battle with cancer. Rhonda was a wonderful woman with a good heart, spoke her mind, and laughed all the time. Literally, all the time…she always had a smile on her face. She organized the Relay for Life in Myrtle Beach and her hometown. Before sheRead More

I know, memorable and dessert probably doesn’t make sense putting those two words together…but in this case, it makes perfect sense. Before I really got into bakingRead More
Although I may not be able to cure cancer…yet…that doesn’t mean I can’t honor the people who have battled cancer. There are two cancer benefits on the same day in two different cities that are 150 miles apart, and I’m donating several dozen to both places. Crazy? Yes, that just may be the case here.Read More
On Easter, we celebrated with my husband’s family. My mother-in-law always has great magazines that I like to thumb through, including Southern Living. Well, this issue had a section with just strawberry flavored desserts, drinks and other snacks. Just reading over the recipes made me excited and want to try a bunch of them, soRead More
Personally, I’m a sucker for milkshakes. It’s hard to say no to the question when my husband asks, “I’m going to get a milkshake, do you want one?” Well, I hadn’t even thought about having one…until you said something about it. That actually happened last night, when he was going to the best place aroundRead More
During college, I worked on a dinner cruise boat as part of the waitstaff. Cheesecake was the usual dessert at the end of the meal, and after everyone was served, you could find me back in the kitchen, hunting for extra dessert that wasn’t used. That may have been my favorite part of the eveningsRead More
