These homemade hand pies taste so good & just make you feel like you are wrapped in big hug. I decided to make these blueberry filled yummies to commemorate the first lunar landing. Tomorrow, July 20, 2019, is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon mission. So what better to top them with than some galaxy icing. Enjoy, and look up in the sky tomorrow night and gaze in wonder!
My granddaughter named this cake and she asks for it every July 4th. I originally found the recipe on Tasty, although they provide it more through instructions than a list of ingredients, and do not include a frosting recipe. I have included my favorite vanilla frosting in the attached recipe. Either way, we love it!

When I think of July 4th celebrations and summer entertaining, berry pie always comes to mind. I decided to make this pie, when my granddaughter showed up with fresh picked blackberries. It’s super simple, especially if you use pre-made pie crust. I use the Dough Puck from Texas Pie Company, which is sold at my local grocer. Adding some fun stars makes it even more festive. What are you waiting for? Start that summer baking!
Its almost St. Patty’s Day & I found the perfect cake to celebrate all things Irish in style! I found this recipe on Instagram at “katiebird bakes.” I checked out the ingredients and was intrigued – Guinness dark beer & olive oil…hmmmmm. I had to try it! It did not disappoint! The cake is very moist, even though it has no eggs in it. The flavor is outstanding & the frosting…well, let’s just say I could have eaten a bowl of that fluffy, Irish Cream flavored, yumminess all by itself. The link to the recipe is below.

Dropping off these Valentine cuties to my daughter’s school tomorrow ~ she’s a principal! Shhh…don’t tell her, it’s a surprise! I cheated on the cake part, but the frosting is the real deal ~ made w/all the sugars & butter AND freeze dried raspberries & pink lemon juice!! Tart & sassy!
I made this torte for our daughter’s birthday. This recipe is from my mom, which I am sure she got from her mother. I’m so glad I had my mom type up all her recipes. You should consider getting your favorite family recipes memorialized, too. I’m so happy I have them! By the way, this torte is addictive!
Nothing say fall like pie! This rustic pie feels like your momma just came over & gave you a hug!
Plums are still plentiful in Texas, when this popped up when I was scanning trending news stories, I had to try it. This torte is not too sweet, and just right for the wet, cool weather we are experiencing right now. It was super easy and looks really pretty when plated. Click photo for printable recipe.
