I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall. When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Pecan Pie
January 14, 2013I’ve never made – let alone tasted – pecan pie. The first time I tasted pecan pie was last week. It was delicious! I was hooked.

A summer fav, Sangria is a popular wine “punch.” It first started with the Romans (around 200 B.C.) when they arrived in Spain, planting vineyards as they conquered the country. But it wasn’t until 1964 that Sangria made an official appearance in the United States when it was brought to the World’s Fair held in New York City. Today, sangria is enjoyed around the world in restaurants bars, and even at…

A classic American treat, the Whoopie Pie, otherwise known as a “black-and-white,” got its start as being a delicious treat in lunch pails. Wives of farmers would bake these treats once in a while for their husbands and pack…
