The Not So Fabulous Apple Raisin & Pecan Bundt Cake
Because of the rainy weather here in Denton yesterday, I was stuck inside, so I decided to bake this fabulous Apple Raisin & Pecan Bundt Cake and give you the recipe. Well, things didn’t go as planned. As you know, this whole blog business is new to me. I bought a...
Izzie’s Obedience School Graduation
Woof! Woof! Pat me on my back. Scratch my tummy. Tell me I'm a good dog. I graduated from Obedience School. I knew I would. After all, Poodles are really smart. I had lots of fun and met new friends at Obedience School. Boo was my favorite friend, but mostly because...
Banana Bread Made Healthy with Einkorn Flour
This recipe is a healthier version of banana bread that is made with coconut oil, brown sugar, and Einkorn whole wheat flour. In my Sourdough 101 post last week, I introduced you to Einkorn flour. It’s an ancient grain that has not been hybridized and is more easily...
Sourdough 101
One of my ambitions is to bake really good sourdough bread. Sourdough bread is made with sourdough starter instead of commercial yeast and has a pleasant sour tang. The starter is fermented dough and contains friendly bacteria. Wild yeasts exist naturally on all...

Happy Mother’s Day
These gorgeous flowers are for my Mother. She lived with me for several years after she sold her home in Iowa. My sisters would send flowers to her every Mother's Day. Mom passed away in 2010, but when Mother's Day comes around each year, I buy a big, beautiful...
Asparagus from My Garden
My little garden produced a lot of asparagus this year… enough for me to eat a few spears almost every day and to also give some to my neighbors. Sadly, asparagus season is over. I picked it from February till the end of April. All asparagus that pops up now will...
Izzie’s Going to Obedience Class
Mom says we’re going to obedience class. She says I’m smart but won’t mind. She thinks I’m stubborn especially when we’re out on the back porch. It’s very important that I inspect the backyard and search for trespassers. I also chase the bunnies out of the garden. And...
