With Memorial day coming up, Here is a simple cake with a story of simple things that I wrote back in May of 2009.
 

You don’t have to slave over a grill for tender and delicious ribs!

Pulled pork barbecue is pretty much heaven on a bun as far as I’m concerned and it seems every region has their own way of doing it. Where I am from, the barbecue is smoked and juicy, served as pictured here or with a little bit of clear mild vinegar sauce poured over it, perhaps some of our white bbq sauce. In my husband’s home its served slathered in a thick layer of sweet red barbecue sauce, like the bottled sauce you buy in the stores.

This recipe makes it easy with the help of a slow cooker.

I have a sweet tooth big enough to take over my entire mouth but I can’t eat sugar, at least not in anything other than small quantities. So I adjust a lot of dessert recipes to make them lighter or sugar free altogether. This is one recipe that works really well and is every bit as decadent and refreshing whether you make a regular or lighter version.

Leftover Hamburger Buns, HOORAY!

You know, every time I grill out I end up with leftover hamburger buns. Now I get excited when that happens because this is the BEST french toast ever! Okay, sometimes I even go and buy buns just to do this with them ~grins~. Instructions for freezing also included :).

    I wanted to leave you a quick thank you for your help on my sons homework. He made the sawdust pie and received an A-. All his teachers want him to bring in more samples for their critique. Thanks again!
