Vanilla Orange Cream Cheese Carrot Cake

Vanilla Orange Cream Cheese Carrot Cake. My Mom made an excellent carrot cake. I don’t remember the amount of times that I sat waiting to lick the icing spatula. This recipe makes a delicious cake and is simple to construct. If you can let the food do the talking and use fresh ground spices and the better the ingredients the better the results.

Championship Soup

Championship Soup. I find the better one eats the better one feels. Soup is a great way to take in the needed nutrients and proteins. Using a variety of vegetables like sweet potato and bok choy you can achieve great tasting soups. It all starts with a good bone broth.

Gingerbread Person Cookies

The traditional Christmas baking was all done with hands on passion following original family recipes. Each batch of dough was hand crafted and the cookies that came from the dough batch were all slightly different with no two cookies looking the...
