Before I get to the actual post, we stopped out at the property tonight. You can see the first floor rooms clearly now, except the kitchen which kind of morphs into the family room as one big great room. Anyway, about those bars… I don’t know if it is malaise brought on by the economic…
Trish’s Zucchini Bars
I have had this recipe bookmarked in the back of my mind for almost a year now. I first had these cookies at a “bring a side dish or dessert” housewarming party for someone in John’s department. I took Mocha Truffle cookies. The secretary for John’s department, who was unable to be at the party,…
Lemon Zucchini Bread
Does anyone else have this dilemma? Everyone knows the classic thing to do with all that local zucchini in the summer is make zucchini bread. It is (kind of 🙂 ) nutritious, it is delicious with endless variations, and it freezes well. But it also seems to be frequently fragrant with autumnal spices. There is…
Summery Lemon & Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies
This is not the most aesthetically pleasing cookie I have ever baked, but it is probably the tastiest lemon cookie I’ve ever eaten. The edges browned a bit more than I would have liked, but it really only affected their look, not their taste. I actually baked three different renditions of this dough, in various…
When Life Hands You A Screaming Toddler, Make Strawberry Lime Bars

Shortbread Bars Take 3 (and really that’s it, I promise): Citrus Bars
Are you noticing a theme here folks? Bars and shortbread bases? I think this is the last one, for layered shortbread anyway, as I was just looking at some pictures of brownies online that were practically calling my name. Alex will be depressed to hear this, as she is allowed to lick off the mixer…
Ultra Lemon Bundt Cake
Hi all! Sorry for the wait—this next recipe is, as you will see, not precisely complicated but it was a long one to write, and, well, John is out of town again, this time for 5 days. It’s been a little exhausting to say the least. I made this cake for my playgroup—I was not…
Leaving You On A Sweet Note: Glazed Lemon Bundt Cake & Nutty For Oats Cookies
Well the recipes continue to stockpile in my head, and unfortunately we leave tomorrow for another week or so. So, before I forget I have 2 recipes to share with you, both of which I have made in the last few days. The first is a tried and true cookie recipe that is (relatively speaking)…
Capers Are An Olive-Phobe’s Friend: Veracruzan Picadillo de Pollo… and a Lemon Poppy Seed Bread
Well as my readers may have noticed the last week or so has consisted of 2 huge meals and tons of leftovers. It is time to get back to simpler meals! With that in mind—and the fact that we have had Indian and Thai most recently so I was ready to leave Asia for a…
