It's definitely soup and stew weather here in PA. My son is a big fan of soup - he'll inhale it like it's his job, and it's one of the things I can consistently get him eat.

Well it looks like summer might be finally over here in PA and that means bring on soup and chili weather!

This Eastern European yeast-risen cake has lots of steps and takes all… Continue reading Chocolate Babka

When it's your pup's birthday, it's time to make a special batch of birthday treats! Piper LOVES treats....including counter-surfing to steal steak, pork chops, chicken breast - really anything she can get her mouth or paws on. One of her favorite things to eat is apples, but they need to be tiny pieces. For being… Continue reading Pumpkin Apple Dog Treats
