Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
Alas, this is the final recipe I am sharing as a result of one weekend camping trip this summer. It is another dutch oven friendly dessert…peach cobbler. This super easy version of peach cobbler is can be made with just a few ingredients making it great for camping or a simple dessert at home.
A recent camping trip has inspired me to do a series of recipes that you can make over or in a campfire…or in a kitchen. Our last night camping, we had what I call a “foil dinner.” Each of our easy classic campfire dishes were cooked by wrapping them in foil and placing them in […]
My seven-year-old daughter wanted to enter a soup/stew contest that they were having at church. Although she wanted to create her own recipe using some avocados I just bought, my husband talked her into making a recipe for cold strawberry soup he found somewhere on the Internet. She loves strawberries…so she agreed. They had to […]
A delicious, easy cake that is a great summertime treat is a Mandarin orange cake with its light, creamy pineapple frosting. Yum! Even when you don’t stir the Mandarin oranges enough to break them up and they sink to the bottom of the cake, the cake is still very good. Although, it is harder to […]
What happens when you bake cakes for a gathering and forget to take pictures for your food blog before service? In my experience, you do not get any pictures of two of the three cakes and the only piece of cake you do get a picture of is sloppy looking at best because your in […]

I find myself making a lot of sheet cakes whenever I cook/bake for a large crowd (70+ people). Thus, I am always on the lookout for new sheet cake recipes. I found one for a pineapple sheet cake in the Lehman’s Anniversary Cookbook and immediately changed it 🙂 Yep, that is how I roll anymore. […]
I must confess that I would much rather skip dessert than eat a piece of a dry, bland cake. Additionally, I must confess that I do not enjoy the act of applying frosting to a cake…let alone multiple cakes. Thus, I love a cake that is moist, delicious, and does not need a buttercream or […]
My sister and brother-in-law make these delicious candies every year and often give them away in Christmas gifts. This year I was lucky enough to get to make them with my sister…..you should not expect any as gift this year as I brought most of them home with me (well, minus what we ate on […]
This moist, tasty, simple pear cake is super easy to make. Seriously, I don’t think you could ask for much more except if would not require frosting…oh wait, it doesn’t. Unlike many cakes, this pear cake is good if it is still a little warm or made the day before. It is also a very […]
