Valentine’s Day is almost here which of course means I can eat red hots all day long. It doesn’t really but I am using it as an excuse. I love red hots. They are in my top five favorite candies, and sometimes they are really hard to find. Fortunately, they are always in the baking [...]

I was flipping through the channels on Saturday morning and stopped at a cooking show where two women were making a chiffon cake. Of course I was inspired immediately, so instead of watching the rest of the show or even figuring out what show it was, I started googling chiffon cake recipes. There are quite [...]
Sometimes there is nothing better than a chocolate chip cookie. I used to make them all the time when I was little- starting from scratch with the recipe on the back of the Nestle Toll House yellow bag. So great. Of course, eating the dough was my favorite part, but warm chocolate chip cookies are [...]
I love bananas in dessert. They add such a wonderful flavor and creamy texture, and somehow any dessert with bananas evokes some great far off memory I can never quite put my finger on. Banana splits, banana pudding, banana bread- they are all delicious. I came across this recipe in Saveur Magazine, and wow- it [...]
I went to boarding school in Connecticut, and let me tell you, for those of you who don’t know- Connecticut winters are long. Really long. Especially when you are used to South Carolina weather- that cold will take your breath away. While I do love the snow, and skiing, and lots of things about winter, [...]
I was looking around for easy fun gift ideas for friends when I saw in Southern Living (www.southernliving.com) the idea of gift jars of hot fudge sauce. I had a few nights before fixed Corby and Walker ice cream for dessert and had found some hot fudge in the refrigerator. I heated it up and [...]
I am trying so hard to get into the Christmas spirit!! But when it is over 80 degrees, and Walker and two of his buddies have a ragingly successful lemonade stand in the middle of December, it just does not feel like Christmas. So to combat the feelings of summer, I made gingerbread angels over [...]
The annual Charleston Christmas Parade was yesterday afternoon. I haven’t been to the parade in maybe twenty years, and it was so much fun. The parade route runs right in front of the Charleston Library Society where I work, and it is definitely one of the best places to watch the parade. First, the steps [...]
I used to think my mother was trying to trick me into eating vegetables when she would make carrot cake. I also used think she was not being very sneaky since she called it carrot cake- clearly there were carrots in there. So, of course I would scrape off the delicious cream cheese icing and [...]
Every year when I was little, we would spend either Thanksgiving or Christmas at my grandparent’s house. It was always a lot of fun being with the whole family, but the best part every year was dessert. My grandmother used to make the most amazing dessert that I had always known as “Gook” but that [...]
