Nana’s Pear Salad

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

As a child, I absolutely loved pears, so my Nana would always prepare this salad for me. She’s a bit on the fancy side so she’d plate it up for me on lettuce leaves atop fancy china and let me use her real sterling silver cutlery. I’d eat up every bite that she ever fixed me and […]

Lemon Surprise

Friday, September 16th, 2011

My goodness it was killing me! I am totally a sweets person and have had this recipe ready to blog for a few weeks now, but thought maybe y’all were getting tired of sweets so I’ve been trying to be more diverse with my recipes lately. I couldn’t take it anymore and had to post […]

Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

Monday, August 1st, 2011

I don’t even have to tell you how delicious this dessert is. It’s basically a no-bake cheesecake mixture, sliced strawberries, and cubed up pound cake. What’s not to love about that? I didn’t have a recipe for this particular dessert but rather just kind of threw some things together one day on a whim and […]

Strawberries & Cream Upside-Down Cake

Monday, June 20th, 2011

The first time I tasted this recipe I was at a meeting and as soon as it touched my mouth I immediately thought of my hubby. He loves strawberries and would rather have a simple dessert like this rather than a fancy layered cake with lots of decorator frosting any day. So I decided that […]

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Banana Nut Bread is one of those foods that was quite often found in my home, but I always hated the stuff. I don’t even really remember why. I remember it being dry, overwhelmingly banana flavored, and just in general not very good. Now this comment is not meant to offend my mom, because she […]

Margaret’s Fruit Dip

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

I know I already posted a fruit dip recipe, but this one got such rave reviews that I had to post it also. After all, one can never have too many creamy ways to fatten up delicious, healthy fruit, right? So this recipe comes to you from my aunt, Margaret. Not Aunt Margaret, just Margaret. […]

New York Cheesecake

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Before you all think I’ve gone nuts posting such a long recipe, hear me out. I know that this recipe looks very intricate, but I promise you that it’s not. Honestly, most of the steps involve nothing more than moving the cooked cheesecake from place to place to ensure that it cools down at the […]

Favorite Fruit Salad

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

I call this recipe Favorite Fruit Salad, because it’s just that…everyone’s favorite fruit salad. My husband is the only one that I know that has ever tasted this yummy treat and not liked it. But then again, he’s a little weird so that doesn’t surprise me. HA! Anyway, this is another simple dish that you […]

Creamy Fruit Dip

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

In this photo once again, you’ll see those yummy Louisiana strawberries. Can you tell I’m a bit obsessed? All winter long I went without eating my favorite fruit because they were so dang expensive, and now that the local farmer’s market has had them I just can’t get enough! When I was doing Weight Watchers […]

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

This yummy recipe comes to you from yet another friend…I love it when friends are willing to share their recipes! This is one super easy, delicious cake. I happened to have fresh Louisiana strawberries on hand so I sliced those little babies up and topped them with some sugar, and left them to macerate. They […]
