This is an oldie but goodie peach pie recipe that is the best ever! And I’ve tried a few different ones. It goes back decades, to the 1970’s. I based this recipe on a Betty Crocker one, but can’t find one like it anymore in their archives. I love Betty Crocker! They gave it in two pie pan sizes, a 9-inch and a 10-inch. I…
This coffee cake has a crunchy shortbread topping, pecans, and a layer of fruit. It is a favorite of mine! And of Bill’s, and he just asked for it again! Add a layer of any fruit on top of the batter. I’ve done strawberries, then a pear one, once a combination one, and this one pictured has mandarin oranges. Whatever I feel like! They all…
If you love butter cookies like I do, try this very buttery one with jam in the middle! It is an easy recipe with very few ingredients! For the chocoholics I know I add some drizzled chocolate on top. Use whatever preserves or jam you like! I made the ones pictured a little bigger. I used a cookie scoop and that will make 20 cookies,…
This has to be the EASIEST ganache to make ever! It is delicious! It pours beautifully over cakes! Not too thin, it is just the right consistency to pour. You can use it as a chocolate sauce over ice cream, too. In the picture the ganache is over my Inside-Out Chocolate Cake. You can find the recipe for that in the search. A fudgy, moist…
When I need a delicious, moist chocolate bundt cake, I go to this one often! It is so moist it is like the frosting is inside the cake! So delicious! This simple recipe came out in 1975 by JELLO! There are many variations of it out there. I used my EASY GANACHE recipe in the cake pictured. See the notes at the bottom of the…
You use 2 box mixes to make these red velvet brownies. A lot of red velvet brownies have cream cheese in them. This one is simple version and my favorite. I like it better than a regular brownie! They are SO incredibly MOIST! I’ve gotten many requests for this recipe! And, these sell really well at fairs! You can dress them up for holidays with…
A NO_BAKE blueberry pie that is better than a 2-crust blueberry pie!! You make the filling on top of the stove. Add it to a baked pie crust! Voila! Better than a time-consuming 2-crust! My sister Annie gave me this great recipe. It is so good! I make this version of blueberry pie more than the baked, 2-crust version. Everyone loves it! Try it, you’ll…
“A delicious cookie to add to your recipe box that has been around for decades if you don’t already have it. This version of the classic finger cookies is similar to the Butterball Cookie or the Mexican Wedding Cookie, but the cream cheese make it more rich and gives it a nice velvety, smooth texture. Enjoy!” INGREDIENTS: 1 cup butter, softened 8 ounces cream cheese,…
For a twist, I kept the same Libby’s Pumpkin Roll recipe you can find anywhere, and you can also find it on my website by typing Pumpkin Roll in the search. For a change to this well-loved classic dessert, I added 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese filling mixture. Instead of sprinkling the top with confectioner’s sugar, I beat 2 cups…

“Royal Icing is a stiff icing used for decorating and it is usually made with egg whites or meringue powder. I never liked the hard royal icing where it is so sturdy that it cracks when you bite it. And I never cared for the taste either. But I discovered a trick I use all the time now! ……CORN SYRUP! Corn syrup gives you the…
“Chef John of Allrecipes says this is “One of the most delicious and easiest pie recipes I know.” I attest to that fact! NO mixer needed! It is SO easy and SO good! Everyone loves it! You can vary the fruit too, just keep it to 4 cups. Also pictured is a version I made of apples, peaches, strawberries and rhubarb. You can try…
My son Brian gave me this recipe when he was in college. He tasted it at a coffee hour at his church near Penn State. He raved enough about it that the ladies of the church told him the recipe was in their Faith Church cookbook. They didn’t have to convince him to buy that cookbook for his mom! It was originally published as Rhubarb…
I like to try recipes from the White House chefs and favorite recipes of presidents and first ladies. They are usually great recipes! In honor of First Lady Barbara Bush, I tried this White House recipe at the time of her passing in April, 2018, and I am very glad I did! They are really delicious! They are very buttery, crispy on the outside and…
“There is no other brownie pie recipe like this one! I got this in 1971 from my soon-to-be mother-in-law who loved to try new recipes. It has NO FLOUR in it and not many other ingredients either. It is a thin pie, like a torte. It is so delicious and so moist! It is not your typical brownie pie where you feel you need a…
