Years ago I had a big garden which yielded an enormous crop of zucchini. Even after sharing with friends and neighbors, I still had tons, so I started my search for zucchini recipes. Luckily, I found this gem. I didn’t think my family would care for it as they are “meat and potato” folks, but […]
I sampled this appetizer at a party and was amazed at how flavorful it was. I have served this many times. Although I prefer it served hot, I have been at p[arties where it was served cold and it was still very tasty.
These chunky, crunchy cookies are loaded with white chocolate chips and nuts . This cookie freezes well, which is great because this recipe yields 6 dozen cookies!
Nothing’s better on a cold winter’s morning than a freshly baked loaf of bread. When I was a little girl, my mother would often bake bread and with the extra dough, she would make biscuits.

The first time I had this cake, I was at a Filipino party and as soon as they brought it out, the people starting lining up to get a slice. Honestly, I wasn’t interested in trying it because it looked soggy, as if someone spilled a glass of milk on it. Well, my friends were […]
