Last week I wasn't able to write my Friday Favorites post... But, I had a good reason! We were camping (and by camping, I mean renting a cabin) in the woods, and I had no cell phone or internet access. Honestly, it was relaxing to ...

The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe ...
Blueberry Peach Coffee Cake
This recipe began last week when we were having a friend over for dinner. I had my hands full in the kitchen and was searching for a quick dessert that I could throw together with little effort. As I paged through the Pioneer Woman Cookbook, I came ...
