THE ADVENTURES OF MIGHTY THE MINI ROLLING PIN

Mighty the Mini Rolling Pin is stuck in the crock on the counter at Grandma’s house. He feels left out because he never gets picked to do the baking. That all changes one day when Grandson Blake comes to bake cookies and picks Mighty.  However, when Blake’s friends come over to bake, one of them takes Mighty home and he wonders if he will ever come home to Blake again.

SPICES, RUBS & DIPPING OILS

I love to cook and bake.  My children often say, why don’t you open a bakery so more people can enjoy your food!! I have been sharing my spices and rubs for years and now you can enjoy them too. Let me tell you about them.  I love the smell of seasoning in the kitchen and fresh bread baking.  Fresh herbs and the aroma of natural spices add the right touch to your dish or baking delight. Only the magical mix of spices will be right for your steak or chicken or fish.  I have taken time to test and retest my recipes with known and unknown recipients of my spice and rub recipes.  While I know their favorites, you can pick your own.
