If you have never tried it before, it is a delicious yellow cake that is saturated with a caramel sauce (thank you butter and brown sugar!) and studded with pineapple and cherry pieces. This particular recipe has a nice addition of pecan halves which add a bit of crunch and flavor to the cake.

California Wine Club Review – March 2012 Delivery

California Wine Club

I am back with another California Wine Club review!  For March, I received a Kiara 2007 Private Reserve Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. As I have said before, I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I do have a glass of wine a few times a month and have tried several flavors and wineries. I didn’t know what to think of receiving two reds this month, since I usually prefer a white, but I was pleasantly surprised!

I came across the original recipe for this Asparagus Gruyere Tart from ‘Chefanie Frasco’ at The Chefanies while participating in a fun little foodie event, the Secret Recipe Club, which was created by Amanda at Amanda’s Cookin‘.

Today I have a delicious treat for you to help you get through the rest of the week. Delicious and moist Strawberry Bread topped off with a sweet Strawberry Butter. I have to say, the strawberry butter is what took this recipe from great to pretty damn amazing.  If you can, please make both and try them together. The recipe for the yummy Strawberry Bread comes from Closet Cooking. Many thanks to Kevin for allowing me to post the recipe from his website! Strawberry Bread Makes

California Wine Club Review – February 2012 Delivery

CA Wine Club

I am back with another California Wine Club review!  For February, I received a Three Saints 2009 Steakhouse Santa Barbara County Red Wine and a Three Saints 2010 Santa Maria Vineyards Chardonnay. As I have said before, I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I do have a glass of wine a few times a month and have tried several flavors and wineries. I tend to prefer a white wine over a red, so I really enjoyed the chardonnay that included nice pear, apple, lemon
