Raspberry Trifle Fudge

I’ve had this recipe for several years and sadly, I don’t recall who gave it to me. This is super easy to make, is creamy and delicious, and the raspberry liquor gives it that special little kick. I was in such a hurry to eat this fudge, so I just randomly started cutting it, not […]

Wild Blueberry Pie

If you’ve never baked with wild blueberries, you are missing out on one of mother natures delectable treats. Wild blueberries have a very short season, so you’ll usually only find them in the freezer section of your grocery store. This pie is made with frozen wild blueberries. The tiny berries are juicy little gems, bursting […]

Apple Pie

Through the years I’ve tried many, many recipes for apple pie. Although most were tasty, I just wasn’t satisfied. After much trial and error, I came up with this recipe and it is everything I was hoping for. The apples are tender, the spices are subtle and the thickness of the “sauce” is just right. […]

Vanilla Pudding Pie

What’s better than rich, thick and creamy vanilla pudding? Vanilla pudding pie!!! This dessert is so easy to prepare and best of all, you probably have all of the ingredients on hand. Although you can use 2% milk, I highly recommend whole milk for that extra bit of richness. If you don’t have vanilla paste […]

Chocolate Strawberry Layer Cake

This three layer, moist chocolate cake is filled with delicious strawberry buttercream frosting. That’s good in itself, but top that off with a layer of chocolate ganache and chocolate covered fresh strawberries for a real treat. This cake takes time to prepare, but it’s worth every minute. Enjoy!

Spumoni Cake

I was thumbing through a church cookbook and came across this recipe, submitted by Clarice Gorton. Anyone that knows me, knows that I don’t favor cakes made from a mix…just my personal preference. However, occasionally, I’ll come across a recipe that intrigues me, as this one did. I tried it, we liked it, so here’s […]

Buttermilk Pie

The first time I tasted buttermilk pie was on a trip to West Virginia. I was quite hesitant to try it as I’m not a fan of sour tasting milk, but, so as not to insult the hostess, I graciously accepted. Wow…one bite of that pie and I was sold! It’s a light, creamy pie […]

Frosting/Icing

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

My favorite frosting is buttercream. Unlike most frosting which is very sweet, buttercream frosting is creamy, buttery and no too sweet. With this recipe, you can switch the flavor of the extract. For example, if you’re making a lemon cake, substitute lemon extract for the vanilla. Orange cake…orange extract and so on. Keep in mind, […]
