I have mentioned before how much I like JoyofBaking.com. So when it came time to find something fun to make with Cam for Halloween, that is where I turned. I needed something he could do the decorating himself, and I found their chocolate spiders – chocolate macaroons with chocolate-covered pretzels for legs. Perfect! He could…

Cucumber-Melon Smoothie – San Diego Cooking Adventure, Part 3
It is my last day in San Diego, time for another treat, i.e. another smoothie with wonderful fresh fruits and veggies! I decided that today was my day to go green and use green – honeydew, cucumber, and lime. Heather and I had had a wonderful brunch in La Jolla – Amazing huevos rancheros and…

Over the past few weeks I have made strawberry bread, strawberry oat bars, strawberry infused water, strawberry…
