Grandma’s Crazy Cake

cake topSo have you heard any good polka music lately? I suppose some would argue that they have NEVER heard any good polka music, but I beg to differ. The polka music that played on my Grandma Rohde’s kitchen radio was pretty good, and I’d love another chance to sit down with her to listen to it.

Grandma passed away in 2000; today would have been her 96th birthday, and I couldn’t let the day pass this year without telling you about her.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake

garnishedCheesecake…

My church holds a fundraising auction for missionary projects every spring, and one of the biggest money makers of the whole thing is a dessert auction. Of course, I am all over this and have to hold myself back from trying to make all of the desserts. I ponder what might be a desirable dessert to garner good bids–tasty and pretty at the same time. I have submitted several different things over the years, but this white chocolate raspberry cheesecake has been one of my entries every year. And it always goes for a good price. It is both beautiful and delicious.

Cheesy Hamburger and Vegetable Soup {AKA Cheeseburger Soup}

pot of soupIf you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably have gotten the message that I love soup. Soup is warm and comforting, and most of the time, all the food groups are covered in one bowl. I could–and do–eat soup happily all year long, but when it is cold and snowing, there is something even more special about it.

With Colorado’s recent round of snow and wind, you could probably guess that I made a big pot of soup. Of course!
