Watermelon Sorbet
You can plant a watermelon up above my grave, And let the juice (slurp) ooze through, You can plant a watermelon up above my grave, That’s all I ask of you. These lyrics are part of my favorite song…when I was six. So, why am I quoting a song I learned in first grade? Well, [...]
Quick and Easy Cherry Turnovers
In honor of National Cherry Pie Day, I decided to share one of my favorite quick and easy desserts, cherry turnovers. (A turnover is a folded pie, isn’t it?…Okay, I am stretching the occasion to fit what I have already made). What makes them super easy is that I use frozen puff pastry dough and [...]
Cream Horns

An Old Family Doughnut Recipe
My dad talked about his grandmother’s homemade doughnut’s with great affection. Therefore, I was really happy when I found the recipe in my grandmother’s handwriting while going through some old recipes. As with the rest of my paternal grandmother’s written recipes, the recipe was had incomplete directions. It did tell ingredients and mixing instructions, yet [...]
