Artichokes…two ways

By Ali | Published: May 8, 2012

I made Annie’s basic chocolate cupcakes.  Basic they may be, but boy are they good.  And they are easy to make…the batter isn’t too runny and they were perfect and fluffy.  I will always use this recipe for my chocolate cupcakes from now on for sure! When picking a frosting, I didn’t want to spend [...]

By Ali | Published: April 12, 2012

It’s spring.  Spring means rhubarb.  I love rhubarb in my baked goods.  Especially in this pie. It’s no secret that pies take time.  I would like to kiss the feet of the individual who came up with the idea of the fruit crisp/crumble.  It’s genius.  The flavor of pie without the time and work of making [...]
