Old Fashioned Butter Pound Cake
This is an old recipe that most people probably have in their recipe box. Remember those? Little slips of paper or cards your grandparents, moms, or neighbors wrote on their favorite recipes with notes and secret tips for making them even better. I miss those days. I have made sure that I have written a…
Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies
‘Tis the season! Cookies, cookies, and more cookies! Today is a perfect day for us to stay in and bake cookies. We have a nice fluffy 3″ of snow on the ground and are expecting at least 6″ during the day. Beautiful day to stay in and watch it snow while we bake. I am…
Perfect Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
We made these to have on hand around Thanksgiving and they were so simple to make. I thought they would make a great pairing with a hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa. These are not too sweet but have a delicious flavor when you want something just a bit sweet. Verdict: These are very…
Christmas Spritz Cookies
I love, love, love Christmas time! We start baking right around Thanksgiving and make cookies right up until Christmas Eve when we make our families Apple Kuchen. I made these with my mother when I was little. Our cookie press was a bit different from the one I have now but they still have the…
Pumpkin Roll Pancakes with Sweet Cream Cheese Filling
Is it dessert? Is it dinner? Why yes it is! Have you seen the pumpkin rolls with the cream cheese filling? This is a take-off on that idea. No, it is NOT the same recipe so the pancakes are a bit more pumpkin bread like so it is not as sweet but the filling is…

Buttery Toffee Cookies
We are trying to cut down a bit on sweets so one of the new things I am trying is if we want a treat we have to make it. I am not much of a baker so the rest of the family has to pitch in on this. This creation was from my partner,…
My Top Three Recipes of the Month
Someone recently suggested that at the end of each month I post my top three to five recipes each month because it would make it easier for them to plan out some meals and treats for the following month. I thought that was a brilliant idea so here is my first posting for My Top…
Personal Sized Turtle Cheesecakes
My daughter has been wanting to make cheesecake for the past several weeks. She finally decided that digging out the spring-form pan was too difficult and she would make small cheesecakes in cupcake pans instead. As you notice other than cookies I rarely bake. It is just not my thing. She loves baking so I…
DoubleTree Hotel Like Chocolate Chip Cookies
We generally stay at Hilton brand hotels because we travel so much that we can accumulate points towards more hotel stays. One of the hotels we stay at, DoubleTree, has as one of its perks that they give your traveling party free warm chocolate chip cookies when you check in. These cookies are not your…
Dulce de Leche in the Slow Cooker
