Vegan Cupcakes in New Zealand

If you follow my Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram pages, you may remember that I traveled to New Zealand’s North Islands the day after Thanksgiving. My son and his family (Linda, granddaughters Georgia and Cecile, and their three rescue dogs, Teddy, Moo and Cocoa) relocated from Los Angeles, CA to Wellington, NZ for a year. I was very […]

Mother’s Day Chocolate Cake- Updated

mayo cake in a bundt pan with glaze

I wrote this post on the first Mother’s Day after my mother, Shirley Bernstein passed.  My Mom was outspoken to say the least, kind of feisty in her choice of words at unexpected times, a totally dedicated grandmother and great-grandmother, and a woman who did not like to cook.
