I traveled back to my childhood for this recipe. Even before the Fabulous and Sassy Dolly Parton recited this recipe on Steele Magnolias, any country woman I knew served this cobbler when time was scarce and money even scarcer. We never added Dolly’s can of fruit cocktail (thankfully Grandma & Grandpa Neeley had their own

Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes
So, as it happens, I was watching an episode of Best Thing I Ever Ate and one of the chefs was talking about their favorite cupcake… a Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake out of some miracle bakery in San Francisco that everyone should have before they die. Since I have no immediate plans for travel to

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
I’m at it again! Trying to alter recipes can sometimes be a trial and error. So, I was skeptical about making a muffin with no sugar…but these muffins turned out amazing! So amazing I ate about 15 of them. Thankfully they were mini. I bet that no one will be able to tell you made

Good Morning Granola
Truth be told, this recipe was supposed to be granola bars. But, as is often the case when I’m making up my own recipes I don’t usually get it right the first, second, or even the forth try. I’ll attempt bars again later (the key is I needed more “glue” to hold them together) but
