Reviewed 5 Minute Spice Cake in Microwave

"For a spice lover like me this cake was over the top delicious! Since I am the only one in the family who truly appreciates spice cake this recipe is perfect as I can make just a small portion for me to enjoy. I used Diner's hint and used ramekins to make two smaller cakes and they turned out so perfect! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe ..."

Reviewed Sweet Little Zucchini Bites

"What a winner of a recipe! Loved how easy this was to make and bake! So full of flavor for so little effort on my part. Made these as regular sized muffins and received 18 nice sized muffins based on my muffin tin (they all fluctuate a bit in size). Very moist with the use of the pineapple juice and just bursting with flavor. Thanks for sharin..."

Reviewed The Very Best Hot Chocolate

"Made as a treat for myself when I was not feeling my best and it was so enjoyable. I loved that this is not overly sweet and really gives a punch of chocolate! It was a knock-out for me! :)"

Reviewed Jello Pudding Parfaits

"This is such a comfort dessert!! I remember my mom making something similar when I was a kid and forgotten all about it until I saw your post. I twisted it up a bit by using sugar-free raspberry gelatin and then dark chocolate pudding. It was a perfect match but I can see so many other possibilities. Stacked in a pretty clear glass and topped w..."

Reviewed Super Easy Sausage Gravy

"Quick, simple and downright delicious. The guys scarfed this up and used it over their pancakes. I followed your directions completely and the only modification I'll make the next time is to drain off most of the fat. It was just way too fatty and in the end I was trying to skim it off the top. To make up for that I'd add a bit more butter and ..."

About Me

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Welcome to my AM page...thanks for taking the time to try to learn a bit more about me. I am a forum host in the Cooking Games With Friends forum. I love interacting with all the wonderful chefs on this website. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=72

Come by and check out the food games. We really have a ton of fun and you'll meet so many nice folks from around the globe!

I love words and quotations...here are a few which recently have touched me.

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
---- Charles H. Spurgeon

Happiness is not about being perfect, but about seeing beyond the imperfections.
---Anonymous

The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be. . . . Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others.
---Wilfred Peterson

If at first you don't succeed.... don't take up skydiving. - Unknown

I live in a rural area of the state and I love that I can sit on my front porch and look at the sun setting over the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is getting busier around these parts and I'm close enough to a tiny city to feel more hustle and bustle but I love tucking into my little corner of the world and just relaxing.

I am a HUGE Virginia Tech Hokie Fan (hence my chef name)

What is a Hokie you ask...well there is a really long story to go with the mascot name but leave it that somewhere along the way a maroon & orange "Fighting Turkey" was created as the VA Tech Hokie.

I truly enjoy reading and always seem to have 1 or 2 books going at a time. Thank goodness I have a Nook now to take with me everywhere I go! Find me on Goodreads and let's hook up with our books. (The link is at the bottom of this page)

I really enjoy a good cup of coffee and as my DH likes to tell me I'm becoming a "coffee snob" as I am pretty particular now about the coffee beans I purchase.

I've always enjoyed cooking and finding ways to make meals that are easy on a budget and use ingredients that are usually on hand in my pantry. I am terribly allergic to seafood and fresh water fish so I have to avoid those of course since I enjoy breathing much more than the taste of seafood.

Favorite Foods

My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home Annual Recipes (1998 is one of the best) and all my local church & foundation recipe collection cookbooks - such neat ideas from people in my area.

I love to make a variety of things and especially love those good 30 minutes or less meals. I am practical so recipes with a lot of ingredients that I cannot find usually in my pantry are not things I usually am attracted to making. I love the Simple and Delicious Magazine for its variety of ideas of simple meal plans and hope they start including more crock pot ideas.

I am a lover of anything chocolate - so desserts are a specialty of mine. I also love making old fashioned candies and fudge and making cookies for my family and friends.

Favorite places to eat and hang out....I love going to Panera bread and trying out their fresh salads and soups. Now if I could only talk my Java Express coffee drive through to add on and create a seating area I'd be in a bit of heaven here on earth.
