coffee black walnut pound cake
Black walnuts. They really are an acquired taste. Not as popular as English walnuts, black walnuts can be a little spendy, unless you buy them still in their shells, but then their shells can stain your hands and are quite hard to crack open without at least a hammer.

orange pound cake with butter rum glaze
This is an optional version of a cake featured on the King Arthur Flour website. Believe it or not, the same amount of batter used in a 10-cup Bundt can be used in a 9″ by 4″ rectangular loaf pan! The only differences were that I added a little vanilla to the batter and also…

I’m a fan of all things licorice, but I read somewhere that it is insanely hypertension-inducing to eat licorice, even in small amounts. My favorite tea was licorice. But…

Greetings! I’m trying to juggle updating this blog regularly, which lately means every Saturday, with being able to be out enjoying the growing number of absolutely gorgeous summer days! Today was hard. It was 70 and sunny. Luckily, I was able to take a walk by the nearby lake, and have lunch out at Ivar’s…
