What I stumble across at a farmers market or grocery store. And sometimes just out of the clear blue. Such is the case with this cake. I really don’t know where the idea came from – maybe I was trying to … [Read more...] about Cannoli Cake

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
