Cookies and Creme Pretzels
Here is s quick treat you can make for Valentine’s Day. Nothing beats the sweet and saltiness of a chocolate covered pretzel. The original recipe for this was made with Hershey’s Hugs.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars
Well, Valentine’s Day is coming up later this week, and it’s time to think about chocolate. I personally am not a huge chocolate fan; a little bit will last me for quite a while, but mix it with peanut butter and I’m an addict.

Another dessert that my friend and I prepared for book club was my mom’s easy lemon bars. This recipe is quick and simple, and can be modified to a cream cheese bar by substituting the lemon cake with yellow cake. It is usually a hit with anyone who tries it. I buy cake mixes and … Continue reading
Black Grape Tarts
Earlier in the week, I helped a friend bake for our book club meeting. We all read Embers of Love by author Tracie Peterson. While I felt the book was lacking in character depth and seemed disjointed at times, it was interesting historically in that it explored the world of those connected to the logging … Continue reading
