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 they could pick. It didn't take us long to fill our buckets. While I was there, I picked up a few more bags of their Honey Roasted... More...

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 plated up the rest for our friends. The neighborhood kids REALLY enjoyed eating the extras. Our little friend, Eli,... More...

One of my husband's favorite cakes is carrot cake. Seeing as 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. Charlie says, "A slice of cake visually says this is all you get. However, a cupcake is so small. You can treat yourself to two!" I can't help but agree. Now comes the part where... More...

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 so sweet, I couldn't taste the peanut butter. This recipe changes all that. These peanut butter... More...

Do I really need to tell you how moist these dark chocolate brownies taste? Should I warn you that as you eat these bad boys, you'll eagerly pinch up every crumb that falls back on your plate and around it? Not to mention the strong urges to hide them away from other family members. Consider yourself warned. HERE'S ALL IT TAKES 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter, softened 1... More...
