I decided to make a yummy chocolate cake for my sweet husband. I used the same cake recipe as always. It’s such an easy, delicious, and failproof recipe that there’s no reason to try another (for regular chocolate cake, that is). But this time, I tried a new frosting recipe and it worked! It stayed…

Another variation on the Acorn Squash with Apples, this one takes the meal to a new level. This time, I cut up golden delicious apples, plopped butter and brown sugar on top and microwaved it to melt the butter. Then I added the apples to a rice/barley thing from Rice-a-Roni and tossed in dried cranberries….
Easy peasy. Oven = 375 degrees Fahrenheit Potatoes = sliced super-thin Toss the potato slices with melted butter (not margarine), Worcestershire sauce, and Lawry’s seasoned salt. Spread on a cookie sheet or two, trying to not overlap the slices. Bake, flipping/stirring/shaking now and then, until the potatoes are crispy enough for you. I like mine…
