I recently traveled to Colorado to attend my nephews wedding. While there, his soon to be mother in law invited us over for dinner. For dessert, she baked a pineapple upside down cake. Now I must admit, I generally don’t care for this type of cake as it is usually extremely sweet. However, this cake […]
While searching for a few new Polish recipes, I came across this gem and since I love gizzards, I decided to try it out. The original recipe listed allspice seeds, but since I only had ground allspice, I used that instead. I also added a chicken bouillon cube to add a dab more chicken flavor. […]
I came across this recipe in a church cookbook and figured I’d give it a try. It probably came off of a Bisquick box, as they had a series of “Impossible Pie” recipes years ago. This is not a gourmet, fancy pie, but a wonderful dessert for a quick treat with little effort to prepare. […]
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 […]

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’ve tried lots of Lasagna in my day, but none can compare to this fanciful feast! No, it’s not authentic Italian style, but it’s bursting with flavor, has just the right amount of meat and marvelous,cheesy goodness. You’ll notice I have one herb called Savory that I listed as optional. It’s something I like but […]

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 […]
