Kirk’s Favorite Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
This cake is incredible, but it's not quick. I generally split it up between two days, one to make the cake and another to frost and glaze.

If his birthday isn't coming up, make it… Continue reading Kirk’s Favorite Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Sally Lunn Bread
Is it dessert? Is it a side dish? You decide. Candice, mom of 5 children, spoiled us with this "to die for" bread 8 years ago.

We met in a doctor's office almost 9 years… Continue reading Sally Lunn Bread
