Dessert
Simple Orange Cake
This Simple Orange Cake should be called EVIL ORANGE CAKE. I HIGHLY recommend you bake it, eat one slice, then RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN to your neighbor’s house and give it to them!
DO NOT KEEP IT OUT ON YOUR COUNTER! YOU’LL EAT IT!
Of course, not all in one bite, nohoho, no. [...]
Simple Apple Squares
Simple Apple Squares are so moist and addictive, it’s a good thing they’re easy to make again and again.
This dessert is just the beginning of a looong list of dessert recipes that have fallen into my hands…
Mwah ha ha ha ha haaa (that’s my sinister laugh).
My neighbor loaned me a stack of OOOOOLLLLLD recipe books [...]
Fresh Peach Cobbler
I cannot get enough of the fresh goodness that grows on Jarvis Farm. A couple of days ago, I went back out and experienced the fun of pulling ripe peaches right off the tree. AGAIN, we had a BLAST! The kids totally grooved on the hunt for the biggest and best peaches [...]

Fancy Biscuits and Honey Butter
This is the simplest treat for kids, family and new friends. In my efforts to explore and compare honey, I needed a foundation to carry the honey from plate to mouth. I decided on using Pepperidge Farm puff pastry.
Of course one sheet made MORE than enough for my taste test. So, I [...]
Cinnamon Apple Bars
These cinnamon apple bars will go well with coffee, hot tea…I see baking them for the next ladies luncheon or for my diet minded friends. They’re moist, cakey, and two is about all you want. They’re not rich or overly sweet. They have a simple, cinnamon apple flavor that makes for a [...]

Blue Magnolia Bread Pudding Mix
I wasn’t a bread pudding fan until I ate Blue Magnolia’s Cinnamon Bread Pudding. Oh mercy, was it GOOD!
I was over shopping in my favorite little town of Winnsboro, Texas. Winnsboro is such a cool little place with great live music, awesome restaurants and fun shopping. Oh, and the spa! (pause for [...]

Sweet Potato Oat Bars
Ok children, today we’re going to learn about birthing a new recipe. Oh I can here y’all already.
“But Miz Scarlett, I don’t know nuttin’bout birthin’ no recipes!!”
To tell you to truth, me neither! But it’s not going to stop me from trying and trying and trying.
I had five small sweet potatoes and I [...]
Carrot Cupcakes
My sweet husband’s birthday was Monday and one of his favorite cakes is carrot cake. Seeing we McKeever’s like to celebrate for days, I turned his favorite cake into cupcakes. He loved this, because it didn’t limit him on how many he could eat.
“A slice of cake visually says this is all you [...]
Simple Chocolate Pie
Get out the milk for this rich delight and cut yourself a small slice of chocolate pie.
My friend, Anne, came over and we made this pie together. We usually enjoy lattes together while our kids play. This time, we got together just to eat chocolate. What are friends for, [...]
Peanut Butter Chocolates
You may be tired of looking at chocolate recipes after Valentines. Is that actually possible? If so, think about the peanut butter filling instead. It’s my favorite part of this recipe. Traditionally, these are called ‘peanut butter balls.’ All the times I’ve eaten them at parties, I found them to be [...]
