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.

Chocolate Marble Cookies

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…

Spiced Chocolate Chip Cookies With Raisins and Nuts

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,…

Sommer Kitchen Pudding Cake

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