The cold weather is coming, and I have a urge to preserve the last of the summer fruit with jams and sauces. My mom told me that’s what she did for her Labor Day weekend–laboring over her food storage fruits. This month is apple season so I better get my butt out there and start…
Summer Love
Popsicles! This is a must in our house. We eat at least one every day in the summer.
Frozen Blueberries
Throw a few fresh blueberries in a bowl, wash with cool water and place in the freezer. Wait a few hours and then eat. It taste like blueberry ice cream. Such a yummy and healthy dessert treat.

It sounds like St. George, Utah is stepping it up with little trendy shops and restaurants. I’ve been away too long!

Yummy Moist Cake
I made my first “real” cake this weekend for Easter dinner–lemon coconut cake with four layers! I was really nervous that it wouldn’t taste good because most of my dishes always come out not quite like they should. I also had a really hard time getting the coconut shreds to stay on the cake sides….
