Lemon Loaf………what were they thinking???? Repeat….were they thinking?
Hi Folks. I was soooo in the mood to put a smile on my friends face after a trying time of her mother falling quite ill. Nothing knocks the wind out of you more than losing a parent. So I wanted Sunshine goodies to put the wind back in her sails. This recipe totally fell…
Blueberry Cobbler…..a definite keeper!
I am on the hunt for a really good cobbler. And I don’t seem to have one. So, I went and found something that looked promising. Of course I think that a good cobbler should have oatmeal. I want something with that Grape Nuts guy standing behind it……ya know what I mean? My experience with…
Naan bread recipe…..definitely not what I am looking for, but not bad.
So there I am searching for that easy, airy, stretchy naan bread that I have in my favorite Indian restaurant. But alas, still haven’t hit the jackpot.

Guinness Molasses Cake…….perfect for Leprechauns!
It’s that time of year again when you pull out your green garb and toast the Leprechauns! This year I went a different route and subjected my friends to the Guinness Menu!! But let’s start with dessert. Guinness Molasses cake……sounds healthy right! You’d be darn tootin! It was like a spicy ginger type of cake…
Kale Chips……..mighty crunchy!
Kale chips certainly doesn’t sound that appetizing unless you have a penchant for the ultra healthy. These are Super easy and I found most recipes only added salt and vinegar. But I wanted to try something a little more adventurous and just used my favorite home made potato chip spices to spice these fine little…

Belgian Waffles….for Valentines Day ;-)
Here is something simple to start your Valentines day! I had been wanting to try this specific recipe with my cute little valentine waffle iron. It had a few new ingredients than your average waffle mix and it looked like it might be lighter and tastier. Well my results turned out a little bit different…
Easy Banana bread with some healthy ingredients.
You can never go wrong with banana bread and I bet it is one of Starbucks best sellers. It’s quick and easy and I try to make any sweet dessert a bit healthier. Hence I have begun adding flax seeds and pumpkin seeds whenever it seems like a good fit. It tastes fabulous with the…
Champagne Vinaigrette a winner any way!
Don’t know why I have never made Champagne Vinaigrette before, but that is certainly going to change in 2012. Wow, wow what took me so long. I guess I just really didn’t think alcohol….salad……alcohol?…in a salad dressing? So I just never really went down that road. But then of course I realized…….I read that wrong.…
New Years Bundt cake…..a favorite with some new tips and thanks!
I wanted to make something special for the gals and couldn’t decide whether my favorite Almond cake or the Sour Cream Coffee Cake from Lisa Dupar’s were my 2011 favorite cakes. I decided on the bundt just because it would be visually a bit more elegant for the ladies but I think I used the…
Potato Parmesan Soup with Pesto
We all know what a soup fan I am and this is one of those soups that is pure comfort. It was so much better than I expected because potato soup …..is well…….some of my old versions anyway tended to get gluey or just way too much potato-y-starchy. This has just the right amount of…
Coffee Liqueur Cheesecake…..a Christmas treat!
Once upon a time in a land far, far away……I lived in Sydney, …….Australia (is there any other??) where I discovered this lovely cheesecake. It was so popular I actually sold it to restaurants. It’s been years since I have made this lovely dessert. But the recipe kept jumping out at me when I was…
Chocolate Zucchini Cake…….DE-lish!
I was going to make a friend another batch of her favorite brownies for her birthday but something caught my eye in the fridge. I had purchased those zukes for a lovely light stirred up pasta dish. But then I remembered how sneaky putting those vegetables into our desserts make it a less guilty pleasure.…
My new favorite…..vegetarian curry. All the right warmth.
Nothing says warm me up like a Curry with coconut milk and all the right fillings on a cold and windy rainy night. This is truly a delicious meal even if my photo suggests otherwise! This recipe calls for chicken, chicken broth and fish sauce, of which I omitted and used veggie broth and it…
