12 Days of Goodies: Peanut Butter Fudge
:: Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas Goodies 2010 :: Peanut butter fudge is such a treat! It’s so rich and creamy… If it weren’t almost entirely sugar, I would make it year round! This particular recipe makes a lot of fudge, so it’s great to share with family and friends,…
Alicia’s Awesome Crab Rangoon
I invented this recipe many years ago… when I was in high school. I loved eating crab rangoon at Asian restaurants, and of course there were none of those in my hometown of under 1,000. Like a lot of recipes I come up with, this one was invented out of necessity. And it…

Homemade Applesauce
I have an 11-month old son, and he loves to eat! One way I have found to save money in our food budget is to make his baby food myself. It’s not hard to do, but it does take a little planning and time. In crunching the numbers, I’ve found that it cuts…
