  • Apple Raisin Coffee Cake

    We have coffeecake for breakfast almost every Lord’s day morning.  It’s been a Sunday tradition in our home for almost 15 years!!  It’s a great way to have an easy, yummy Sunday morning breakfast all prepared the evening before.  Light, not too sweet, and topped with beautiful, sliced apples, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, this […]

  • Peanut Butter Bars

    If you love peanut butter and chocolate together, you’ll love these wonderful, crunchy Peanut Butter Bars! They are quick to make in a saucepan on the stove and are only in the oven long enough to melt the chocolate chips on top. PEANUT BUTTER BARS 1 cup sugar 1 cup Karo syrup 2 cups peanut […]

  • Dani’s Orange Coffee Cake

    My daughter is such a generous girl!  She readily agreed to allow me to share her Orange Coffee Cake recipe with you here. It’s moist and tender, with a lovely orange flavor and a light streusel topping for crunch. Dani usually doubles this recipe and puts one in the freezer for another time. This coffee […]

  • Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies

    I love this cookie recipe. Not only are these cookies tender and sweet, but the recipe card is written in my late mother’s own hand. The recipe is one she was given by one of her best friends. These cookies really do melt in your mouth.  They would be lovely to serve at a tea, or […]

  • Copper’s Caramel Corn

    Caramel Corn is a great 4th of July treat!  We’re taking a BIG bowlful with us to the park later on.  My husband loves caramel corn, and this recipe in particular.  He has probably made it up for the family more times than I have. There are some simpler recipes around, but I don’t want […]

  • Mom’s Banana Split Cake (Copper’s Favorite!)

    The notation in my mom’s handwriting at the top of this recipe indicates that it is Copper’s favorite.  A rich, creamy filling, on a graham cracker crust, layered with pineapple and bananas, covered with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on top make this one of our all-time favorites. It’s especially good in the summer. […]

  • Fresh Berry Pie

    Fresh berry pie is a special treat that my family looks forward to every year.  My mama started making these fresh berry pies thirty years or so ago.  They are an annual tradition for us as soon as our Young Berries (a type of blackberry) ripen. I  know that it’s possible to make your own pie […]

  • Streusel Coffee Cake

    For about 15 years now, Sunday morning breakfast in our home has been some form of coffee cake.  The coffee cake is always made Saturday afternoon or evening.  Coffee cake for Sunday morning breakfast helps us to get ourselves ready for church with minimal preparation and clean up, and it’s tasty to boot! Our repertoire of coffee cake […]

    This is a quick and easy recipe that requires no eggs, nor the use of your electric mixer.  It is very moist and absolutely delicious. Our vegan friends love this cake, and so do we! This cake is delicious served warm from the oven with nothing on top, and it’s great when cooled and frosted.  Our […]

  • My Grandmother’s Applesauce Cake (An Apple A Day Recipe)

    I don’t remember very much about my grandmother.  I called her “Grandmother”.  Very formal, now that I think back on it, but I didn’t seem so at the time.  She became increasingly senile from the time that I was very young, and passed away when I was only 12.  She lived in the midwest, while we […]
