Dulce de Leche Pound Cake is a delicious way to enjoy the rich and indulgent flavor of milk caramel. Pictures of the whole cake were updated in November 2017. Much like exercise, there is a rhythmic routine to cooking dinner for your family. Unlike baking, which I do to relax at my own convenience, dinner…

Dulce de Leche Swirled Marshmallows
I do lead an interesting life, don’t I? That’s 3 surgeries since the start of this blog and 11 total over my lifetime. The good news–in addition to the fact that I got the infected appendix 12 hours before it ruptured (that’s an approximate guess by the doctor), is that having removed now 2 organs…
Molasses Ginger Granola Bars

One is an unusual granola bar, and the other,…
Comfort Kheema
First, some housekeeping: last winter I was contacted by a representative from Meijer about trying some of their products. Meijer at the time was my favorite local grocery store–ever since the Kroger’s has been renovated, I would call Meijer the most economical and the best one stop shopping, but the renovated Kroger’s outshines it some…
Kishmish Waale Thane Ki Dal (Sweet Hot Yellow Split Peas with Golden Raisins)
So, my mother came to visit and actually requested Indian food. I had made a quick Indian potatoes, peas and cauliflower dish in Nags Head which she liked–apparently a lot. Once my head had stopped spinning, I started thinking about what I could make for lunch, since my dinner was already planned. The fact that…
