Pumpkin Blondies
I made the perfect fall dessert for my bookclub ladies–Pumpkin Blondies. My friend Karen shared this recipe, and I’m so glad that I had an occasion to try it out. Pumpkin puree always makes baked goods nice a fluffy. Either white chocolate or dark chocolate chips can be used, but I prefer [...]

My friend Laura is a huge garlic fan. Not only does she use it for meal recipes, but also in a number of home remedies for most things that ail her family. Raw garlic is a natural antibiotic that does not carry the bad flora that a Rx antibiotic will put into your [...]

Hmph! Some friend. Anyhow, apparently one night in a drunken moment of weakness she divulged her recipe [...]
