“Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting” is sort of a family tradition. It was usually the cake of choice when our son Robert was asked what kind he wanted. Mom’s was always a cake mix, but I am a failure with cake mixes. This recipe however always works for me. Growing up it wasn’t Sunday dinner […]
Chicken is a mainstay in our diet. The continual question is “What shall we do with it tonight?”. This recipe is one of those that can be tweaked a little and be different every time you make it. We don’t like to fry food, but liked the baked crispiness of this recipe. We have […]
