I made it to Ohio! I know it took me forever to post a new recipe, but I just barely got me internet hooked up. Can I just talk about my new home for a minute? It is awesome! There are so many awesome restaurants, foreign food markets, and farmers markets! We even have a…

Lemon Meringue Pie Ice Cream
The other day I went out for some ice cream with my aunt. We went to a Farr’s creamery. They had tons of different flavors of fresh made ice cream. I chose the Lemon Meringue Pie ice cream. I wouldn’t normally choose that flavor because I don’t really like lemon meringue pie itself, but for…
Applesauce Muffins
When I think of muffins, I think of my two younger brothers. I first think of Joe who loves any kind of breakfast food. He makes himself German pancakes for lunch, has a “cereal snack” three times a day, and he can eat more muffins than anyone I know. He is 15, 6’3” or 4”, …

Apple Crumb Pie
I like pie, but I don’t really like traditional pie crust. It is too heavy for me. I found this recipe for apple pie with an almond crumb crust. It is much lighter and it tastes delicious and crumbly. I made it for my family and my grandparents and they all loved it. My little…
Caramel Apple Cake
I am re-posting this recipe because I now have a picture of my own and I want to recognize it again. It is a great fall food and it is VERY EASY. It is one of my husband’s favorite desserts (and mine too!) The caramel forms as it cooks. Serve with vanilla ice cream or…
Zwetschgendatschi ( German Plum Cake)
I found plums for 28 cents a pound. That is a good deal right? I thought it was! I spent two or three dollars and got tons of plums. I cut them up and bagged them in the freezer. Plum season is from May through October. In some places it ends around the first of…
Mom’s Banana Bread
