Old Fashioned Carrot Cake
Please, please make this cake immediately! Carrots are on sale, people! They’re an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamin A, for pitty’s sake! A big hunk of cake pairs swimmingly with a glass of calcium-rich milk! And seriously, do you really need a reason?!!

Sweet Nothings: Guilt Free vs. Guilt-y!
This morning I’m hanging out at home with two of my punks who are off of school for the long weekend. One of them will probably sleep until noon and the other is already wide awake, munching on Cheerios and playing on the computer. As for myself, I’m doing my best to avoid crummy chores such as folding laundry, making beds, and scraping blue toothpaste out of bathroom sinks. I’ve headed into the kitchen to see what kind of housework diversion I can cook up!

One For The Lunchbox
Oh, the joys of brown-bagging it. Even though the food selections have gotten much better now that my daughter’s in middle school, she is still not much of a hot lunch fan. When pressed (like when our fridge is void of deli meat and the pantry holds no bread), she’ll grudgingly settle for the cafeteria’s salad bar.

Best Ever Blueberry Coffee Cake
I brought this coffee cake as part of a hostess gift. I love to make this cake when fresh blueberries are on sale, but it could of course be made with frozen berries in the dead of winter. Speaking of freezing, I’ve doubled the recipe and frozen one for a rainy day; I’ve made it in round cake pans, loaf pans, and muffin tins too, with no trouble. You’ll be a welcome overnight guest wherever you go if you take this coffeecake along, or try it out on guests of your own!
