Rave Reviews (Vanilla Coconut) cake – BEST CAKE EVER!!!
Ok, I’m not that much into chocolate.  But once, when I was going to make chocolate cupcakes for a party, several people requested this recipe instead…  So it’s not just me.  I do think the pudding probably helps make this recipe very moist. I first had this cake when my late cousin Georgeanna, served it.   Rave Review [...]

Silhouette Mint – make your own stamps!
The Silhouette Mint allows you to make stamps from your own artwork.  I’ve tried a few other tools that promised to do this, but failed miserably (in my experience.)  The Mint delivers on this promise, though! This isn’t the best example, but it’s the first stamp I made.  The original photo is on the left & the stamped [...]

This was one of those gazillion video recipes that flash up on Facebook.  But I modified it for my own (as usual) & it turned out great!  I will definitely be making this again.   The recipe below is my modified version.  The original recipe is here.

Recipe: Cold Sesame Noodles
This has been a long time (~25 years) fav-o-rite recipe of mine.  And it’s from one of my long time fav-o-rite cookbook authors, Lorna Sass. I follow most recipes (oncluding this one) loosely & adjust the soy sauce, vinegar & maple syrup according to my whim.  I love this recipe so much, that I’ve been known to use creamy [...]

Box cards using SVGCuts files – Part 1
I have made most of our greeting cards, since 1996.  I’d been wanting to try making box cards (cards that fold flat for mailing, but pop up for a 3D card) but figured they would be very time consuming & difficult to make.  NOT TRUE!!!  I found these cards not only easy to make, brilliant in design & have a big wow factor!  I us [...]
