As some of you may know, I used to work in the corporate offices for Starbucks…and no, I do not have any inside information on the recipe for this bread…but what I got is a daughter who is an amazing cook and loves Pinterest! She found this recipe yesterday and whipped it up last night, and…

Caramel Apple Cake
I love, love apple cake! This is a dense pound cake type with tons of topping and homemade caramel sauce. I think you could easily use store bought caramel sauce and save yourself the time…but it’s kinda cool to make your own! Let me save you some time on this cake. I learned it the hard…
Lemon Raspberry Snack Cake
We never seem to be able to finish a big sheet cake…I know!!! I can’t believe it either! I end up tossing half and I hate to waste food…hate, hate, hate! This is the perfect size. Lemon Curd and Yogurt are the secrets to this moist, yummy snack cake! If you haven’t cooked with Lemon…
Strawberry Shortcake Cookies
Portable Strawberry Shortcake! You can take it on the road with you, and anytime you need a little taste of summer…take a little nibble. I’ve been wanting to blog this recipe since the dark days of winter and finally, the sun is out in Seattle and there is reason to celebrate! I consider myself a…
Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake – Lightened Up!
Still trying to use the plethora of lemons I have! Thought thowing one in a cake would be good idea. This lightened up version of a dense pound cake is based on a recipe I have been making for years from Cooking Light Magazine in 2005. The low fat cream cheese and yogurt are a great substitute…
Outrageous Chocolate Cookies!
These are the hubby’s favorite cookies ever! Fist pumping chocolaty goodness and of course, easy to prepare. These can be a bit sticky to get off the pan, if you have parchment paper or a silicone baking liner hanging around, use them! If not, make sure you give a good solid spray of non stick. Do…
Cinnamon Apple Cake
As my friend said to me yesterday…’ For me, food and weight are associated with quantity…you should eat the things you love in moderation’. That was all I needed to hear to break out the cake pans! Jeeze, I’m so easy. The good news is that this is a lightened up version. It was adapted from Cooking Light…
Cream Wafer Cookies
My grandma was a lousy cook. I mean spit it out in your napkin kinda bad. Everything was fried to a crisp in a cast iron skillet on her stove…you better have a sharp knife if you are going to dine with Grandma ’cause hackin’ through some of those pieces of chicken was a chore!…
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Oh great pumpkin…moist and mysterious…okay, sorry, I got a little carried away. I am so in love with pumpkin flavored everything this year! We had this at Shuckers Restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel in Seattle…it was to die!  I knew I had to try to remake it…I think I came pretty close! Crust: 1 3/4 cups…
Orange ‘Brownies’
These are just decadent and wonderful! Blasts of sugar, butter and orange will fix that sweet tooth you have had hangin’ around. I heard some where that these won first place at a Pillsbury Bake Off contest but I can’t find any info on it. They are simple to make with only a few ingredients…hope…
