Did you know that if you plant jelly beans in your yard, lollipops will grow in their place? It’s true, just ask my kids. It only works the week of Easter, though. Easter is kind of a big deal around here. Since we do a brunch over at my sister-in-law’s house on Easter morning, and… Continue reading Easter Bunny Pancakes. Simple Pleasures.
I’ve been thinking of adding a Hot Cross Buns recipe to my blog around Easter time for years, but one thing has stopped me: Made the traditional way, I just don’t really like them. My family is mostly English and Irish. The English are some of my favorite people. They have delightful accents, but are not necessarily… Continue reading Hot Cross Buns (tasty ones)
I was supposed to have a busy day today, running back and forth between ballet class and the library, and the grocery store.

So, you can imagine my alarm when she said to me yesterday afternoon “Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’d like everything to be pink, and very fancy.” I should have known it was… Continue reading “Very Fancy” Strawberries and Whipped Cream Sponge Cake
This is not my typical recipe post, but I wanted to share the puppy party I did for my kids on their joint 3rd and 5th birthday party. 🙂 Pin the tail on the puppy! – I found the picture of the dog here, and I just free-hand drew it onto a large piece of… Continue reading Daphne and Charlie’s Puppy Party!
