I found this recipe as I was browsing through news articles. I stopped because of the recipe and stayed because of the great story behind it. Melissa Vickers came up with this recipe to help her grandfather satisfy his sweet tooth as well as get him to eat something healthier. Looking at the original recipe [...]
I had other plans on what I was going to cook this week. I have some turkey legs I need to use up. I am still working through some meat that was in the broken freezer. I was originally going to do chicken and dumplings. I still will. However, I watched an episode from Middle [...]

Did she just say "Fruitcake"? Yes, I said fruitcake. You may be wondering why I am doing a recipe for fruitcake. It's after the holidays, and the most reviled cake on the planet, isn't it? Go the the United Kingdom and it is served all over and is even wedding cake. I think you are [...]
