Summer Flowers






The colors the shapes the sizes they never cease to amaze me. Each individual each special and unique. Together they create a tapestry of color that is un- matched. Some bold, others delicate, some are food for others such as bees and butterfly's.

May Nature Quilt


This is May Nature Quilt. This is the colors seen in May not what I think but what I see. Lots of shades of green color just starting to come and not much tan/gold as everything is fresh.

Birthday Week is here!

The beginning of Sluggers Birthday Cake.
Brownie base in a Springform pan. Then Mint Chocolate Chip Icecream spread in it and freeze. Bake more brownies and cut into like 1/2 inch chunks, drop onto ice cream layer. Drizzle Chocolate Ganache over the top of it all and add white Non-perils for effect. I used to do 2 layers of Brownie top and bottom but there is a lot of slippage and melting that way so we are onto a new method. I will post a picture of the final cake later. We have birthdays on Monday and Wed. this week and will celebrate with Family on Tuesday.

Blueberry Cupcakes

This is an old family recipe from my Great Aunt Inez.
Summer with fresh blueberries is the best time to make these but frozen any time of year work well. I also like to make a lemon-blueberry muffin and a cornbread blueberry Muffin. Sprinkles are just for extra summer fun!!!
