Honey Drops

September 17, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Several years ago, I had several friends who took up beekeeping. Not sure why that suddenly became a big hobby, but I was all for it, as they would bring me jars of honey. Most of them seemed to have moved on from the bees, or at least from leaving jars on my doorstep. And the truth is, I miss it. It always made me exercise my recipe development muscles to find ways to use it. … [Read more...] about Honey Drops

Peach Brown Butter Cake

I’ve never been very good at making beautifully frosted layer cakes. In fact, I generally avoid them, turning to Bundt and tube pans for simple and attractive cakes.

Share these with friends … [Read more...] about Double Caramel Bars

Strawberry Buttermilk Cupcakes with Buttermilk Vanilla Frosting

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.
