Do you know what a pawpaw is? Would it surprise you to know that it's a fruit? And that it's native to the eastern United States? Yes and yes, right?! When I first read about the American pawpaw, I thought it was too good to be true. Whaaat... a hardy fruit tree native to this area where I live and it tastes like a tropical custard mix of banana, mango, and pineapple?! Impossible, I thought. Well, I was wrong. It is so possible and so real that such a fruit exists. The problem is... you can't ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #451
Fall is officially here so it’s time to break loose... with apples and pumpkins. Which camp do you belong to, camp apples or camp pumpkins?

My pooch Skye turned 14 last week and I made her a dog-friendly cake to celebrate the occasion. It's become a tradition to make her a meatloaf cake annually on her birthday. The cake was made with unseasoned ground beef mixed with chopped chicken and pumpkin. The mixture was then pressed into a mini cake pan and baked in the air fryer for about 30 minutes. To make it look more like a real cake, I covered it with potato fondant. No, not fondant potatoes, but mashed potatoes mixed with shredded ... continue reading...
