My granddaughter Chloe turned five in October 2006, and she was lucky enough to get a to-die-for Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle instead of a birthday cake. This trifle is a huge hit with grown men and five-year-olds everywhere:
In 2007 my husband Rick and I moved from suburban Chicago to Marshall, Minnesota. My transition from city girl to country girl has been eased by lots and lots of culinary therapy. I love nothing better than lavishly covering a homemade cake with creamy frosting, baking cookies with my grandkids, or making delicious dinners for my family and friends.
