Sweet Notes

My daughter and I decided to fix a dessert.  We both started off with pound cake slices, pan toasted on each side.  My creation was with melted chocolate chips in-between the slices, topped with strawberries and whip cream.  My daughter's was with strawberries and whip cream between the slices and drizzle of white chocolate all over.  Although hers looked decadent ...mine tasted fantastic!  I think she had just a little too much whipped cream!  What do you think?

In The Heat? Bring on the Slow Cooker!

The temperatures here have toned down a bit; at least this week!  I saw the large bag of dried apricots in my pantry and realized that I was the only one eating them.  Well, I've had my fill and there was still a butt-load left.  What to do? Well,  I looked at tons of recipes but wasn't interested in any of them with the exception of Apricot jam.  So I thought, since it's so hot, why not make it in my slow cooker.  So I did, however, I was not totally prepared with my jam jars and such, but used what I had and it worked out just fine, and tastes really good!!! So now I have plenty of apricot jam in my freezer!! Got toast? Biscuits...chicken? I feel another recipe coming on!!!
