As you may already know my garden is full of this bountiful golden swiss chard. Even now with the winter upon us. I had seen some really delicious sounding quiche recipes using chard, but hadn’t gotten around to it until today. And, true to form, I winged it. Since I have been making quiches for…

So there I was………pondering another bundt cake. And you know how I don’t like a lot of icing and such? Well heh heh heh, This was the most moist and delicate yummy coffee cake I think I have EVER made. Thank you Lisa Dupar!!! Just delicious. I ate too much. What more can I say????…

Autumn. The most glorious season of all. And with it comes such beautiful veggies. I normally make a Thanksgiving Pumpkin bread to dream about, but this is the perfect little any time of day, easy to make Pumpkin cake. You don’t need a lot of time. You don’t need a lot of ingredients. A great…

Did you know of such a thing? Well I am sure it’s been out there awhile, but without having grown so much I did a little digging and found this little ditty. It’s great. I throw it in a pasta dish, but it would be great on a cheese plate, or baked brie, or…..you get…

I got this scary yummy recipe for my swiss chard. It was so cool to grow some easy and beautiful golden swiss chard (my first year growing swiss chard so forgive my giddiness) Who hoo.  The snails enjoyed it a little too much but that being said, I had to come up with a plethora…
