Strawberry Scones

Biscuits and pies and scones have been flying out of my mom’s kitchen these past few weekends.  I am bound and determined to get these recipes etched in my brain so that I will not need to reference the paper copy. This will save me many hours of searching and digging for saved and clippedContinue reading “Strawberry Scones”

Citrus Almond Pound Cake

I have had the fixings for this cake for nearly 2 weeks.  Which means it has probably been 3+.  Always add more time when discussing the passage of time…and me.  Much like when doctors ask you about alcohol and/or caffeine consumption.  They double whatever you say.  Because we lie.  Or miscalculate.  Or misjudge.  Did you knowContinue reading “Citrus Almond Pound Cake”

Cake number one was more of a belated birthday cake of sorts … I made the proper month but wasContinue reading “Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Cake”

Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake

I need to apologize.  I have been holding out on you guys for at least two weeks.  And honestly, it has been longer than that but the exact amount of time is beyond me and any guess would be a straight exaggeration because I can not, for the life of me, make an educated guessContinue reading “Chocolate Orange Olive Oil Cake”
