How fun are those cinnamon rolls that come in a tube? Developer Patterson Watkins says, "Popping that cinnamon roll tube gets me every time — it's like a tasty pastry jack-in-the-box." Not only does whacking the can have entertainment value, but the contents are pretty versatile — you can use canned cinnamon rolls to make monkey bread, bake them in a waffle maker, or upgrade them with add-ons, as Watkins does here with the canned pie filling. She describes these peach cobbler cinnamon rolls as having "the fun pops of peaches, the textural crunch of the granola, that rich, buttery roll, and (my favorite part) that glaze-soaked, gooey cinnamon roll center."

Four Virginians were confirmed to be onboard when the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912. Phillip Acts and Selini Decker, who lived a few blocks apart in Norfolk, died when the ship sank. Richmond native Robert Decker and Eloise Smith, who later moved to Richmond from West Virginia, survived.

When I was a child in the Philippines, my mother made mango float all of the time in the summer. She made the dessert from the mangoes that my father harvested from our farm. Mango float is a no-bake, four-ingredient dessert made popular by The Philippines, whose national fruit is the mango. The chilled dessert consists of sweet, ripe mango stacked between layers of whipped cream and held together by crisp graham crackers. This results in a splendid cake-like dessert that’s ideal for summer.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.

Becoming the baker in the family is both a blessing and a curse. I love trying new recipes and having my family members act as my guinea pigs and test the final products, especially when those recipes are desserts tied to my Mexican heritage. Of course, this also means frequent requests for more of said cookies, pies, cakes, etc.—all of which I’m happy to oblige.

Welcome to the world of Amish baking, where time-honored traditions and wholesome ingredients come together to create irresistible treats.

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

This Popular Italian Restaurant in Addison has lost my business for good—no more Chances.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
