Apr 3rd
The office would love these!
Guest post written by April Gibbs
I’ve never been turned away at a party for bringing cupcakes along. See, I’m really into baking cupcakes and I come up with all kinds of awesome varieties for baking them. I’m always looking for the next big great recipe too!
I’m not quite sure what got me on my cupcake baking kick a few years back, but I’m glad that I did because I’ve never looked back and my coworkers love it when I bring them with me to work. One thing I want though is an apron to wear while More >
Fantastic “Healthy” Cookies
Jan 17th
Of course all cookies are a treat, but if you make them as healthy as possible you can give them out more freely. Whole sugars, such as Sucanat, have all the nutrients and minerals still intact.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!
Jun 30th
Or do we? In the “olden days” there really wasn’t anything else to choose from. Oh, there was sherbet (no it’s not sherbert), but that wasn’t really considered “cool.”
Today there are a number of frozen summer treats to choose from.
- Ice Cream – the old standby. There’s egg based, custard or French style, and Philadelphia-style without eggs. Ice cream has to contain at least 10% milkfat.
- Popsicle – not really ice cream, but a summer favorite. Any type of frozen flavored water is considered a popsicle.
- Sherbet – Contains some dairy, but only 1-2%, no more or less.
- Soft-serve – Continuously churned so it More >
