Mocha Chocolate Layer Cake
I can’t recall where I found this recipe, but if I remember correctly, I think it was touted as a low calorie cake that you could indulge in without guilt.

Disclaimer: I take no credit for this recipe. I am sharing it with you because it is just so tasty, that I want you to have a chance to try it too. I had never tried making whoopie pies before. I’m not sure why not. perhaps I didn’t want to go through all the steps?…

Today I pulled out an old cookbook that I purchased many years ago but hadn’t looked at for ages. As I browsed through the pictures and recipes, I was surprised by how many of the recipes I had actually tried. I believe that it is also the first recipe book where I made notes for nearly every…
Read MoreNanaimo Bars
What an odd name. Why exactly are such delicious treats named after an costal town in British Columbia, I wonder?

Read MoreThe Marble Cheesecake Squares That Almost Never Happened
So, what do you do when you realize you’re missing a key ingredient? Occasionally I’ll panic and search the internet for alternative recipes that omit whatever ingredient I’m missing. Or I’ll just change what I was making entirely. Other times I’ll run to the store, but that option doesn’t happen very often since I live…

We are going camping next week. Not the “canoe and only what you can carry” type, but the full-on “glamping” version – complete with fridge, freezer, A/C and running water. My husband says it’s not real camping. I say it’s really the best camping for me and my sanity. What kind of treat to you take camping,…

I worked as a full-time waitress at a small, family-owned restaurant one year after high school to earn money for college.
