Themes
March, 2025
I’ve always loved a good theme! Growing up, Halloween was always a big family affair, and every birthday party had a theme too. It became such a thing in our family that Jeff once gave me a homemade jelly roll—along with tickets to a Jelly Roll concert! This Valentine’s Day, I kept the tradition going by putting my own spin on Zoe François’ pavlova recipe to make the day extra special.
Pavlova
February, 2025
Bake pavlova recipe from Zoe Bakes Cakes.
When assembling, I make mine into a hear shape
After cooled put her lemon curd on the pavlova, leaving 1 inch edge
On top of the lemon curd is my new favorite whip cream invention
In a stand up mixer with wisk attachment add one individual serving of lemon yougurt, add lemon zest, a teaspoon of honey.
Start the mixer on low. Slowly add a cup of real whipping cream
Increase the speed until soft peaks, the consistency of whipping cream
Spread whipping cream on top of the lemon curd and arrange fresh berries on top in a decorative manner
Yummy!
Add any left over whipping cream to berries and granola for a breakfast parfait

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
So, this is what started it all—everyone wants this recipe. I believe in sharing both the love and the cookie. This cookie is the most requested by family and friends. I only make it in the fall unless someone really wants it. My youngest is coming back from overseas, having missed two falls, so the next batch will be made in April.
The recipes in this blog are a mix of my own creations and adaptations from others, but each one is made with love.
