***Tap Tap Tap*** This is a test, only a test! I decided to use the rice flour in my pantry in this morning’s banana bread, which, by the way, was not planned, like a lot of little chillins in families! The four black bananas on my kitchen counter were either going to be thrown out or used~~this was not a ... Read More »

My reason for going was to find springroll wrappers to use in a recipe that I was cooking for a competition…they were called ‘Cheeseburger Springrolls’…not my recipe, but my cuz’s from NY. Since she couldn’t get to the competition in SC, and since I lived only ... Read More »

I hadn’t even done anything with springrolls until my cuz, Lorin Cook, was selected as a finalist in a cooking contest for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, which is a Class A minor league baseball team. She had submitted a ... Read More »
During apple season there’s nothing better than a moist nutty apple cake! Second to that for me, is a nutty candy apple with homemade caramel! True to my Bohemian culinary style, I decided I wanted to combine these two favorites into one cake. I posted a comment at my FB page ‘What’s for Dinner? Ally’s Kitchen’ asking who had a ...
