Hot Peach Vidalia Cheese Spread

I rode the bike to church Sunday, and one of the first persons I ran into was my friend Loanna. She was looking all forlorn because she said she had brought me something and wasn’t sure I could carry it on the bike. I got all excited because Loanna […]

Blueberry Lemon Drop Popcorn

Blueberry Lemon Drop Popcorn

I’m so anxious to jump on the Dessert Challenge bandwagon again, since I had to miss it the last 2 months. To refresh your memory, Sheryl, at Lady Behind the Curtain, has picked 2 ingredients each month (such as coconut and lime or caramel and pretzels) that we are […]

I’m warning all of us now, I might just have to go a little ice cream slap happy this summer. Some of us may recall that I got a new ice cream maker awhile back, after thwarting off the purchase because I was afraid I’d eat too much ice […]
