Four batches of muffins. That’s what it took to perfect this dreamy cherry muffin recipe. I’m really happy with the results of this last batch. You won’t find any chunks of fruit in these, even though I love them that way. I can’t get any of my kids or my husband to eat anything with chunky fruit, so these fruity Read More »
Are you the kind of person who can’t eat an ice cream sundae without the cherry on top? Well, that’s me all over.

Ta da! I did it, I conquered my fear of canning and was able to preserve 9 pints of delicious cherry pie filling that I made from the wonderful fresh sour cherries from my neighbor’s tree! I actually accomplished this a week ago, but am just now getting around to posting. I also have another basket full of cherries that Read More »
I subscribe to Diabetic Living from Better Homes and Gardens. I recently made the Carrot Cake Towers, which were fabulous. I also tried their Chocolate-Almond Topped Cherry Pie. Instead of a carb filled pie crust, they used phyllo sheets to create the crust. While in theory I think it’s a great idea, I found it extremely difficult to eat and Read More »
Welcome to Thrifty Thursdays! To participate, please see the end of this post. I live in a suburban type neighborhood within a rural community. So while my house is in a fairly typical suburban setting, I’m actually surrounded on all sides by farms. This means access to plenty of locally grown fresh produce. There’s a place called Best Bargains, which Read More »

I mentioned before that my neighbor has a sour cherry tree and lets me pick all that I want! As you know, I made this Sour Cherry Almond Cake and have been browsing blogs for more recipes using these darling little wonders. I came across a recipe on Always Order Dessert called Sour Cherry Financiers. I’m not sure why they Read More »
