I am happy to report that we have moved a safe distance from the 100˚ mark in Dallas. It’s still hot, but not the kind that makes you break into a sweat if you dare go out to check the mail. Over the coming weeks we will get our VERY short autumn and then straight […]
Among the many charms of living in the South is the undying devotion to sweet tea. This staple sip is part of daily life for many of those in the lower states. Truth be told, I could take it or leave it, but in the event that I could take it, there is no shortage. […]
Fall has arrived and pumpkin spice permeates the air. From lattes to cheesecakes, you can’t seem to escape its magical autumn appeal. We’ve surrendered to its charms and incorporated it into a new fall breakfast favorite, pumpkin spice pancakes. These pancakes are a bit denser than usual pancakes thanks to the weight of the pumpkin […]
Day three of Cookie Week comes with a little crunch. In our effort to bring you a variety this week we knew we needed to offer up something with real texture. This one does the trick. It is quite crispy when you bite it, but becomes chewy as you go. It borders on a thin […]

So I wondered, what if I could have cheesecake and pie and eat it, too. And that is exactly what I did. Unlike some other recipes you may see, this cheesecake […]
In the first grade, I lived above the hardware store at the corner of State and Main. It was the only intersection in our small town with a traffic light. The school was just a few blocks away and I walked every day. In the winter I would tap a stick on the sidewalk or along fences […]
We’re on the home stretch of cookie week. I must admit that I will be a little sad for it to end. Cookies are one of my favorite things to bake. They are just enough of a good thing. Getting a box of cookies delivered to your door might be one of the best things […]
We have finally made it to fall in Dallas.Mid-eighties means fall and that is fine with me. A month ago it was 20 degrees warmer outside. It isn’t quite sweater weather, but I’m also not sweating through my clothes on the way to my car. To me, no food welcomes fall like apples. I love […]
