The Wall-E cake
Posted in life with my children, recipes on March 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I forgot to post the picture of the cake I made for Mr 5’s birthday. Since he is enamored with all things Wall-E currently, of course his cake request was for a Wall-E cake. We looked at a few pictures online and this is the one he liked the best. I changed the eyes and [...]

Today is National Chocolate Cake Day! Who knew?! And if you know me, you know I don’t need a reason to celebrate chocolate anything~ LOL
Off to bake a yummy chocolate cake with my children who … yes… are home from school until tomorrow. (See the previous post if you don’t get that [...]

Here’s the recipe I promised earlier. It’s from a terrific cookbook we have called “Memories of a Cuban Kitchen” by Mary Urrutia Randelman. The book is a combination of traditional recipes, Cuban adaptations of recipes, and recollections of the author’s childhood in Cuba and Miami. We love it!

Fast and Easy Cinnamon Buns

(and they’re milk, egg, and peanut free as a bonus…of course!)
My children LOVE cinnamon buns! Love love love ‘em. So do I , actually. But let’s face it…homemade cinnamon buns are time-consuming and I never seem to plan ahead for them. Several years back I made up this recipe and they are so yummy!

Easy Mounds Chocolate Bar Cookies (milk and egg free)
Posted in Works for Me!, recipes on October 15, 2008 | 5 Comments »
A few weeks ago I discovered a wonderful butter crisp cookie recipe over at Rocks in My Dryer. They are truly delicious and just as addicting as she described.
Since I love to bake, I thought I’d fool around with the recipe a bit and make it into something chocolately good. I think I succeeded and [...]

Milk-free, egg-free lemon cookie recipe
Posted in Works for Me!, recipes on May 9, 2007 | 2 Comments »
In honor of spring, I am posting one of my favorite cookie recipes! This is a mildly lemony cookie with an intensely lemony sugary icing. Yum-o!!! It’s milk, egg, peanut and nut free so that it’s safe for Mr 7. For the most part, I make all of our meals, desserts, etc “safe” because it’s just [...]
The cupcakes were a success (recipe)
Posted in life with my children, recipes on January 13, 2007 | 2 Comments »
A few days ago, I mentioned my toddler’s evening request for cupcakes. Plain with vanilla frosting….I know….not very creative in the tastebud department yet.
I make an awesome (if I do say so myself) chocolate sour cream mini-cupcake. They are so cool! You flavor them individually with different added flavorings to the individual mini-cupcake holder. So, [...]
Homemade doughnuts (egg/milk free)
Posted in recipes on January 2, 2007 | 1 Comment »
In the ever-present quest to find tasty, safe foods for Mr 7 to eat (he has life threatening food allergies to milk, eggs and peanuts), I found a gem on New Year’s Day! Homemade doughnuts! Usually doughnuts that are tasty, fresh, and yeasty/soft, have milk or egg in them. But I found a sopapilla recipe [...]
