Orange Mousse

This no bake dessert is one that I made recently and it is now a new favorite in our house. It is light and creamy and very good. We all loved it. It only contains three ingredients and it goes together in no time. You really cannot get much simpler than this dessert. Not only is this [...]

Homemade Blizzards

August 5, 2010

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard is 25 years old?! Now, that makes me feel a little old. I remember when they first came out and the commercials and ads were everywhere. I love Blizzards and they were quite a treat when I was growing up. I grew up in a small logging [...]

I love anything lemon, from lemon bars and lemon pie to lemon curd, I love them all. So, when I saw a recipe in Martha Stewart’s Dinner at Home (which is a great cookbook) for lemon mousse, I knew that I had to try it. I marked this recipe months ago, but just recently took the time [...]

I have tried many versions of rice pudding, but this one is my current favorite. I love it. I made this rice pudding a little bit more special by using sweetened condensed [...]

Gluten Free Sandwich Cookies

March 6, 2010

I am fairly new to gluten free cooking. I have only been gluten free for about five months. I have had a lot of disasters when it comes to baking. Everything is so different when you are dealing with gluten free flours. This has been hard on my family. I used to bake all the [...]

Lemon Coconut Macaroons

March 4, 2010

I love cooking magazines. I love to look through them for tips and ideas like I do cookbooks. I often go to a used book sale in my area that is several times a year. Last year I came across quite a find at the sale. They had a whole stack of past issues of Paula [...]
