Lately, I have only been buying all-purpose flour at the grocery store. A few years ago, I kept a canister filled with all-purpose flour and another filled with self-rising on my kitchen counter. What I noticed was that I used my all-purpose flour a lot more quickly than I used the self-rising, leaving the self-rising Read More

The Easter Bunny included a bag of Coconut M&M’s in Little Buddy’s Easter basket this year. To say that Little Buddy was a bit perplexed at the inclusion would be a huge overstatement.

One of my favorite jobs growing up was helping my Grandmother Verdie make her Jam Thumbprint Cookies. I’d watch her as she mixed together all of the basic ingredients for the cookies, butter, sugar, vanilla, egg, and flour until it was all well-combined. She’d divide the dough into fourths and only work with one portion Read More
