Strawberry Shortcake with cream on top

First, a link to a recipe for an amazing Low-Carb Strawberry Lemon Shortcake.  I just made this for dessert tonight, and neither my husband nor I were disappointed. Most people who know me will answer if asked, that my favorite dessert of all time is Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting....

#TBT Cast away

I went to make funnel cakes last night and wanted to use the smaller cast iron pan I own. It had been hanging on it’s hook for a few months, and we had not used it for quite some time. However, when I turned the pan around, there was...

#TBT The Musical Fruit
