It has been a while since I have shared a recipe from my mother’s cookbook, A+ in Cooking. The idea was to find a muffin or breakfast bread recipe to share with you. I for one was somewhat tired of having wheat toast every morning, and I wanted something different. I also wanted to share […]
True confession – I am not a huge fan of cake balls. I know the rest of the world loves cake balls, and gobble them up by the fistfuls. BUT – So many of the cake balls I have eaten were gummy and mushy. It is not a taste thing. It is a texture thing. With that announcement […]

Suzanne and Leslie invited the group to their home after our Friday night dinner. It is unbelievable all they did for our 50th Class Reunion. Not only were they in charge of planing the entire reunion, but they also had a gathering in their home, and provided Tortilla Roll-Ups for a gathering on Saturday afternoon. […]
