September 18, 2014March 28, 20176 Comments

We just had our fall Social Work department dinner last weekend. As we were signing up for what we would bring, I pleased to see that Debbie signed up for her Pumpkin Cake.  It wouldn't be the fall supper without it.  It is a tradition.  It is so delicious.  It's the most moist, perfectly pumpkin, … Continue reading Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Raspberry Almond Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

June 12, 2013March 10, 20171 Comment

I love how children shed light on things by questioning what we adults sometimes don't think to question. Like why is a hamburger called a "hamburger" instead of a "beefburger"? Or why is  a "step parent" called a "step" parent? Or is he a 2nd cousin, or a cousin-in-law, or a cousin twice-removed,  and why? Or why is coffee … Continue reading Raspberry Almond Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Anniversary Lemon Berry Poundcake

August 24, 2012March 10, 20171 Comment

My husband and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary last week. I have never been good at keeping up with people's anniversaries, celebrating people's anniversaries, (even my parents), or even doing a great job with my own anniversary-honoring. However, there have been a couple of people in my history who have honored my anniversary in really … Continue reading Anniversary Lemon Berry Poundcake

Lemon Berry Trifle: A Mother’s Day Tribute

May 13, 2012March 10, 20171 Comment

    I have been baking and cooking a good bit lately and have had a hard time knowing what to post about this week.  I thought maybe a dessert, since it has been a few posts since I’ve written about sweet stuff.  I also thought I might write about something Mother-inspired.  Then it hit … Continue reading Lemon Berry Trifle: A Mother’s Day Tribute

I have a student, who just got married over  Christmas break.

I thought immediately of Sour Cream Poundcake. You just can't … Continue reading Grandmother Simpson’s Texas Sheet Cake

Double-Digit Birthday Boy Celebrating!

December 10, 2011March 11, 20176 Comments

My son is double digits! His birthday was Friday.  It’s hard to believe.  I can’t really remember life before Asher, but I certainly can’t believe I have a 10 year old, and that we are fast approaching adolescence!  I debated on whether or not to post about his birthday celebrating because I have already written … Continue reading Double-Digit Birthday Boy Celebrating!
