German Chocolate Cake
German chocolate cake isn’t really from Germany? Wow ~ Our commissary has [inconveniently for me] stopped carrying this little bar called German’s Sweet Chocolate by Baker’s… so, as I was looking for suitable substitutions, I ran across this article on joyofbaking.com German Sweet Chocolate German’s® Sweet Chocolate is a dark baking chocolate created by the Walter Baker & Company…
Fresh Sandwich Rolls
I love the smell of bread baking ~ cinnamon rolls, brioche, French baguette, ciabatta… and yes, fresh rolls for sandwiches! You will never buy another bag of rolls again, promise! Just think, in the time it takes you to get into your car, drive to the market, park, buy the rolls (and 25 other things…
Guinness, anyone?

Thanks for a great day out! Guinness-Cheddar Dip 1 lb shredded cheddar 1/2 lb shredded gruyere 1/2…
Rice Pudding
My family loves rice pudding ~ I mean they really love rice pudding! Their favorite isn’t dotted with jewels of dried cherries like Bobby Deen’s; nor does it have a sprinkling of golden raisins or a dash of cinnamon like Alton Brown, Emeril Lagasse, Tyler Florence or the Barefoot Contessa! They love it plain and…

Food from Friends… Heinz 57 edition
Heinz 57, because we are a little of this, a little of that. Native American (Sioux and Cherokee), Irish and German. But growing up, there really wasn’t the distinction of tribal or global foods; my Mom is from Alabama, Dad is from New Mexico. So, we ate southern: spinach with vinegar, beans, fried potatoes and…
Food from Friends ~ French Edition
By now, those of you who are actually reading this little blog of mine, know I am some how affiliated with our US military ~ Tony and I married 23 years ago, and 22 years ago this June will mark his anniversary of joining our US Air Force. As Mom and Dad reminded me…
