 He means marshmallow creme, as we know, having taken a Peep in his Easter Basket. 

In case you're making a fresh Strawberry Pie for Easter (my mother in law's favorite pie, she says), here's a crust recipe you don't need to roll out.

More Strawberries for this pre-spring season.  Here's a shortcake roll that will taste lovely and look elegant.

What? More strawberries? I printed this recipe as I loved the cookie crust it uses. I'd prefer blueberry or cherry to strawberries in this one but I will start at the top :)

 Looks like Shepherd's Pie is back on the menu, boys.  I've tried various recipes that weren't quite up to expectations.  I'm liking the ingredients for this "cottage pie" (made with burger instead of lamb) from Life in the Lofthouse.  The cheese layer on top is particularly nice.

I love all cheesy things, so I'm thinking Cheese Balls should be eaten more often than just at New Years.

Chess Pie is disappointingly without black and white squares. It does however look and sound much like the Sugar Pie featured on a recent episode of This Is Us.

 I like the idea of this hybrid biscuit/muffin from the English kitchen.

 I made this great chocolate cake yesterday. These pictures are from a previous post on my now deleted 2.0. I needed to look the recipe up oops…while I was in the process of deleting the other blog because I hadn't printed the page with the frosting instructions.

 I don't believe I've ever had a chimichanga at all. They sound very good, and this recipe offers a fried version and an oven baked version.

I'm going to put on a costume and go to this lady's house!  My favorites, Butterfingers and Baby Ruth in full sized bars!

Check with mom before you use her kitchen!

We've got some real fans of Little Smokies in this house. I wonder if they'd approve of the Apple Butter.

 So, you want to make an Angel Food Cake, but could never commit to 12 egg whites to make one from scratch. A cheapo box version is the way to go.  The batter tastes vaguely fizzy, not quite citrus. Also good news, you don’t need to grease your Angel Food Cake pan. This delicate wonder doesn’t stick to the pan.

Slides right out. You should have lots of frosting to fill in those, ah, concavities (?), though.

Sunday dinner, here we come, with Life in the Lofthouse's Three Packet Roast. The three packets are Brown gravy mix, Italian Dressing Mix and Ranch Dressing Mix.

It's a meaty week here at DOA Central, so this recipe for Swedish Meatballs by Recipe Critic sounds very nice!

So we're not only eating meats, there should be pie.

When I worked in Wheeling WV, there was a shop that made Pepperoni Rolls that I think were just like these from Janet's Appalachian Kitchen.  So good! I'd walk down and get one or two for lunch or dinner more than once a week.

Pink is my favorite color, but I've seen pictures of some retro rooms lately all in shades of pink--whoa way too much.  This kitchen with turquoise added is perfect.
