Hi and happy spring! We made it through the cold and gray winter here in Kentuckiana. As all of the beautiful flowers start to bloom, filling our lives with color, I thought it would be fun to share a recipe that I like to make around Easter each year. It’s a creamy fruit salad that my family has lovingly named “Pink Harold".

If you have a sinful sweet tooth and love peanut butter and chocolate, then do I have the recipe for you!! A super simple recipe for a quick, homemade dessert.

Ok, I admit it, I’m a Fall Fanatic! It's my favorite season of the year without a doubt and nothing says fall to me like pumpkin bread. This particular recipe was introduced to our church community in the 1960s by our associate minister’s wife. My mother made this recipe so many times over the years, it’s naturally named "Mom’s pumpkin bread.” One of my fondest memories is sharing a piece (or two) with her whenever she baked it. Trust me, I have tried lots of pumpkin bread recipes, but this one is my absolute favorite. I know you will love it too.

Although I grew up in the country, I first time I encountered a rhubarb plant was in the garden of my mother-in-law. This huge plant with giant leaves and large red-green stalks was beautiful to behold. As I recall, they had several plants that came back each year. Having that much rhubarb almost demanded that we use it in some way, and I was the chosen recipient.

Who doesn’t love a delicious, homemade waffle? Pair with my delicious blueberry sauce and you have yourself a breakfast to remember. I recently visited a you-pick-it farm and harvested my own blueberries for this recipe. I had so much fun and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

For quite some time, I’ve heard about Sally’s brownies from my son-in-law. Sally is his coworker at United Airlines Corporate Office in Chicago. Among her other talents, Sally has earned the title of official brownie maker for their office, and also for her family and friends. Whenever there’s an occasion at the office for any celebration, Sally makes her famous brownies.

Happy Spring Y'all! I have been making this version of a pig pen cake for at least 40 years, after a neighbor shared this recipe with me in the 80’s. This cake is served cold, so it’s light and refreshing on a warm spring or summer day.

Hi Valentine! I absolutely love making treats to share with my neighbors and friends, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to give them a homemade sweet treat.

If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth while watching your waistline, this is the prescription for you. There are literally only two ingredients you’ll need: a box of Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple. That’s it!!

My love of scones started a few years ago after attending Afternoon Tea at the Drake Hotel in Chicago with a lifelong friend. It’s a memory I’ll always treasure and nothing takes me back there like the smell of a warm scone. Delight yourself and your friends with some delicious scones and create your own Afternoon Tea!

This is my hands down favorite recipe for peanut brittle. I absolutely recommend this recipe if you are looking for something really easy to make for friends and family. Substitute with your favorite nut to be even more creative and make this recipe your own. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
