Of course y’all know that I love to cook, but did you know that I’m really not much of a baker? Baked goods kind of make me crazy. All that fiddly measuring and beating and folding. Well, it’s just not so much my favorite kitchen activity. I’d much rather be making a savory recipe, throwing in a dash of this and a pinch of that. So when I do decide to bake it’s usually something easy and quick. Like a one pan cake or maybe muffins or cupcakes. They’re just so easy and simple, you know?
That’s why I thought this Chocolate Walnut Pound Cake would be the perfect recipe for a Valentine’s Day treat. Simple ingredients. Not too much measuring. One pan. How could you go wrong with that? Plus it has a double dose of chocolate. Serve this with a dollop of whipped cream. Or some fresh sweetened strawberries. Or both! Your Valentine will thank you.

Last Sunday morning was really unusual. Why, you ask? Because I slept until 9:00! That almost never happens. Not that I’m an early, eager riser either. I just usually wake up around 6:30 or so on the weekends and can’t get back to sleep. Probably because that’s about my normal weekday wakeup time. BeeBop was [...]

Pin It Sunshine! There’s sunshine today! Beautiful, bright, brilliant sunshine. Why am I so excited? Because for at least the past week we’ve had either rain or heavy fog. Cold, grey days that seemed to just drag by. Now I’m not complaining about the rain, goodness knows we need it, but just for today I’m [...]

Pin It Seems like I’ve been on a bit of a roll with breakfast recipes lately, doesn’t it? Since the last one for those little Hash Brown-Omelet Skillets went over so well, I thought I’d go ahead and share this one with you, too. Sometimes I feel like a good savory dish in the morning, [...]
Hash Brown-Omelet Skillets

Pin It I love weekends. Weekends are when we slow down and do what we want to do instead of what our jobs demand. For me, one of the pleasures of weekends is having time to cook breakfast. A proper breakfast – not just a quick cup of coffee and a muffin. A few weeks [...]
