My Fabulous Homemade Pound Cake! Nothing makes the house smell more like home than a delicious homemade pound cake. I decided to whip one up today. I like to eat my pound cake slices hot out the oven or warm a slice quickly in the microwave. I know a lot of people like a dollop of ice cream or whip cream and fruits on top. Not me. I just like the delicious taste alone. Just use the ingredients and directions {Read More}
Best Recipe for Vanilla Cupcakes

This picture says it all. These are definitely the best vanilla cupcakes ever. The kids loved the cupcakes I baked today. This is my second batch. The first set of cupcakes I made were not as moist and tasty as this one. I used more vanilla, butter and oil with this set. Turned out fabulous…not to mention the fact that I dropped 8 of the 12 cupcakes in the oven when I was trying to get them out. This cupcake {Read More}

I went old school this morning and made fried tomatoes for breakfast. My kids were floored that people actually fried tomatoes and liked it. I tried to explain that this was a dish that I ate when I was growing up. Mother didn’t fry the red tomatoes, only the green ones. However, I only liked the tomatoes that had a little red in it. So, I picked out red tomatoes that weren’t too ripe and they were delicious! Fixed some {Read More}

Most recipes for banana bread is pretty much the same, however, this muffin recipe is magnificent. I like walnuts, but I’m sure you can use any type {Read More}

Easy Curry Chicken Recipe

Fixing chicken is always an inexpensive item to prepare. I love this recipe. I learned this one from my hubby. He would always fix curry chicken when we were dating. I like to fix this because it is very inexpensive to make. Chicken is one of the least expensive meats to buy these days. When it goes on sale, I always buy up quite a bit and freeze for future dinners. This recipe tastes best if used with real curry {Read More}
