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 […]
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, […]
Fifty years ago, I purchased a cookbook titled ” Crisco presents Favorite Family Foods”. Through the years, I have turned to this book for its pie crust recipe. Although I have tried many others, I always come back to this one, as it is tasty, easy to roll out and has never failed! Well, the […]
Who doesn’t love a crispy sugar cookie? Try adding some peanut butter to that delightful cookie for a lip smackin’ treat! I came across this recipe in a very old cookbook I picked up in a thrift store. It was obvious from all the debris on that page, that this recipe was a favorite. So […]

Recently I was at the car dealers waiting for my car to be serviced when a lady came in and noticed I was reading a cooking magazine. We started chatting and I told her all about my website. We talked for quite some time about different coffee cakes and she mentioned that her daughter bakes […]
While thumbing through an old cookbook of Mom’s, I came across a handwritten recipe for a cake that I haven’t had in over 60 years. Just seeing Mom’s beautiful handwriting again just about brought tears to my eyes. But even more joy filled my heart when I read the ingredients and realized this was one […]
I’ve always enjoyed a light, not too sweet dessert, that wasn’t too difficult to whip up. While surfing the web, I came across this recipe from Spatula Desserts. It sounded easy to prepare, so I decided to give it a try. The custard was silky and smooth, with just the right amount of sweetness. The […]
I’ll be honest here…I never was a fan of fruitcake. As I was browsing through the baking aisle, I spotted a container of mixed candied fruit, all chopped up and colorful as could be and I thought to myself, why not try to bake something with this fruit. After all, there are several foods that […]
