Creamy Orange-Lemon Gelatto

53 1
I'm trying to cut back on calories for the new year, in addition to starting the couch to 5k program at cool runnings.  This recipe isn't the greatest, but it's a start.  Next times I'll try to make it with splenda[...]

Cocoa Meringues

53 1
After I made the Orange-lemon gelato, I was left with 5 egg whites.  I didn't want to just toss them, and I don't like egg white omelets, so I went looking for a recipe and decided on a recipe for regular french meringues with a[...]

Merry Christmas

Roast Pork Shoulder and Scalloped Potatoes

Book Review: Jane Austen Ruined My Life

53 1
I had really hoped to like this book, but I didn't.  I never really clicked with the heroine, whom I frequently wanted to slap some sense into or any of the other characters and the story just didn't engage me.  I have to force[...]

Book Review: The Briar King
