fudge and oatmeal oh my

This is a recipe that I received once at a ladies fellowship for Christmas.  One of them brought these bars and gave everyone the recipe.  I have never made them myself and it had been so many years that I had forgotten how delicious they are!  They can only be described as gooey, decadent chocolate fudge wrapped in the arms of a chewy oatmeal cookie.  They are actually called Chocolate Revel. 

I left the plate on the counter for my daughter to try one when she got home from school.

Marshmallows

I've made a list of recipes that I want to get to and marshmallows was definately on it. A great opportunity presented itself when my daughter was invited to a camping adventure - where s'mores would be involved, of course. So I set out to see if it really was as easy as everyone seems to say. I would agree that it wasn't as hard as I had it in my head that it would be, however it does get messy. 

Easter Cake

I've seen this technique before in pictures and I really wanted to try it!  It was a lot of fun and Easter was a great time to make something special for my family :)  The Cross was fondant.

Meringue Week

Pavlova's with berries and lemon curd

As I went through my recipe box this week I found a recipe for "Basic Meringues" and I thought it sounded great!  So I set it out and got ready to make them.  It was definately a recipe I copied again from my mom's box and from the look of the writing I was a bit young.  I turned it over
