Did you ever hear someone say, if you do this then this is the result…
“If you try this weight loss program, we promise you 10 pounds in a week!”

White Cake with Raspberry Filling

This Thanksgiving was about giving thanks, of course, but my family also celebrated the upcoming birthday of my sister.

She is a special blessing to our family, adding thoughtfulness, care and much class!

I had the joy of making a small cake for the celebration. Six-inch cakes are fun to make. You can get about ten slices – plenty big enough pieces after eating supper!

I found a recipe for a White Cake with Raspberry Filling on Sally’s Baking Addiction.

“But see, in our open clearings, how golden the melons lie; Enrich them with sweets and spices, and give us the pumpkin pie!”
~Margaret Junkin Preston

Rather than making one big pie, I made mini ones. How small were they? Well, I made them in mini muffin tins. I loved them because you get pie crust all the way around the filling! They were the perfect little bite of dessert! Well, we may have had more than “one bite,” but you get my drift! They were so easy to make!

Winter Window Boxes

I have loved having window boxes at my upstairs windows. It’s easy in the summertime to know how to embellish them with beautiful annuals, but when winter comes, I struggle with knowing what to add, aside from Christmas greens.

One day I was perusing Pinterest when I saw an idea that caught my eye. I adapted the picture I found and came up with boxes that I’m loving! They’re like little winterscapes.
