Classic Brownies

Classic Brownies

  If you bake, brownies are the one recipe that you will likely make again over time unless you don’t love chocolate. If that’s the case, then we can’t be friends. But, if you’re like me, or my daughter, a dose of chocolate in any baked form provides the often necessary relief after a hard […]

Skillet Cherry Cobbler

I’ve hardly done any cooking or baking this year.  Having recently returned from a fabulous 11 day cruise in the east Caribbean, most of the first week of January was spent eating holiday leftovers and cleaning out the fridge and pantry.  By the time we got back, it was already the end of January, and […]
