Strawberry Shortcakes - Kirbie's Cravings Thursday, May 13, 2010 When I was little I had a Strawberry Shortcake doll. It was one of my favorite dolls. Recently, I turned on the tv during the weekend morning and there was a Strawberry Shortcake show on. It occurred to me very recently, that I’ve never actually eaten strawberry shortcake. I chose to use a recipe from Joelen’s Culinary Adventures because she used a sweet cream biscuit recipe I had been wanting to try.

Gina DePalma's Zucchini Olive Oil Cake - The Amateur Gourmet October 30, 2009 | By Adam Roberts | 20 Comments You say “chocolate cake,” and the masses come; you say “olive oil zucchini cake” and there’s a bit of a silence. “Ummm,” a timid voice emerges a few seconds later. “What kind of cake did you say?” It’s olive oil zucchini cake, timid-voiced person! Or, rather, zucchini olive oil cake.
