Out of all the cakes I have baked, pound cake is still my favorite. I have a few different recipes that I favor. This one is made with sour cream…and of course, BUTTER!
Desserts
Desserts need no introduction as beautiful confectionaries speak for themselves. Finish off a hearty meal with a sweet treat or enjoy a rewarding snack as you please!
Snickerdoodles
This cookie will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. It is a crisp, crackly cookie that is rolled in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, baked to a light golden brown and bursting with flavor. Give me a glass of milk with these cookies and they’ll be gone in no time at all.
Shortbread Cookie
This buttery rich, tender cookie is just perfect when you’re looking for a little snack.
Scones
I’ve been baking these tender scones for many years. You can alter the recipe to fit your mood. For example, if I’m adding cranraisins, I switch the vanilla extract to orange extract for a cranberry orange scone. If I want a lemon poppy scone, I use lemon extract instead of vanilla, and add a Tablespoon […]
Rum Balls
Here is another recipe from my “Christmas Cookie Collection”. These bite size treats are bursting with nuts, rum and gooey goodness and are rolled in powdered sugar. I place each ball into a paper candy cup so the rum doesn’t leach into the other cookies on the tray. I’ve had so many requests through the […]
Rugelach
Crisp yet tender cookie, with a thin layer of jam and nuts, lightly sprinkled with sugar, rolled up and baked to perfection. YUM!!!
Rhubarb Bread
In the springtime, when rhubarb is plentiful, I dice up and freeze 10 pounds of it so I can enjoy recipes like this one all year round. This bread is moist with a nice balance of tart and sweetness and a hint of cinnamon. This recipe makes 2 loaves, so you can enjoy one and […]
Quick Fudge
Sometimes you just get a hankering for fudge but you just can’t drop everything and run to a candy store. This recipe is tasty, quick and easy (no candy thermometer is needed) and the ingredients are things most folks have on hand.
Pumpkin Squares
One of the ladies I used to work with, Barb R., would bring in a tray of these wonderful pumpkin squares. They are moist, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the frosting just “seals the deal”.
Purple Lady Salad
Fluffy, fruiting, nutty and refreshing is how I describe this luscious salad. It’s easy to put together and it’s been a success at every get together I brought this to.
