I'm not exactly sure why I have been away so long, but I've been thinking about all of the kind people here and realized that I needed this in my life again. It's been a rough year mentally, we were sent home from work for two weeks and it's turned into 9 months, I hope that I can go back...

This cake is my recipe using the reverse creaming method. The cake will be moist and fluffy at the same time. It will have the flavor of a scratch vanilla cake, if you want to mess around with flavorings, butter flavor, lemon extract and almond all work well in addition to the vanilla. Butter...

This is a great video showing what leaving out critical ingredients in a cake can do to the final result, and explains why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBouLt-hXDU

My niece pointed me to this recipe from a blog for 100% whole wheat bread, and I'm glad that she did, this made a beautiful, high rising loaf that wasn't at all crumbly. My adaptation was to add vital wheat gluten, and to use 1/2 white whole wheat flour from King Arthur for a lighter flavor...

I just noticed that I posted this in a thread a while back, but never made it an official recipe. We eat this as a side, but it could easily be a dessert. This is a sweet indulgence that we make for holiday meals. Rob's dad got it off a can of yams (sweet potatoes) and he made it every...

My mom used to make these, she loves anything date filled. I remember her buying a "brick" of dates and sitting there cutting them up, and removing the stray pit. Now we have chopped dates in a bag, making this much easier! Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease a 9x13 inch cake...

Here's the thread that some have requested! Today our wonderful friends threw us a wedding shower. It was fantastic, had over 30 people show up! They rented a space, made food and set up games. We're honored to have such great friends. Here are a few pics of the event. I'm the bald one in...

These are similar to IHOP's "harvest grain and nut" pancakes. They just might be my favorite pancakes. ¾ cup quick oats ¾ cup whole wheat flour ½ cup white flour 2 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. Baking powder ½ tsp. Salt 1 ½ cups buttermilk or sour milk ¼ cup veg oil 2 eggs ¼ cup sugar 3 tbs. Finely...

Thought that I'd post this in time for Thanksgiving. I made this last year and it was fantastic! I've skipped the lemon zest and replaced it with orange zest, and used the orange for juice. But it is perfect as written! Cranberry Pear Sauce 3 cups fresh cranberries 1 cup white sugar 3...

This recipe is from my mom's church cookbook, they were submitted by my grandmother's neighbor. The name of the recipe was "Peter Pumkin Bars" so that's how we always referred to them. My mom made these every year in the fall. This is the original recipe only calling for cinnamon as the spice...

I have made this for the last couple of years and it is wonderful southern comfort food. It is like a big peach dumpling, not like a pie crust topped peach filling that you often see, this is how they do it in my section of the south. This yankee has warmed up to southern cobbler! Peach...

I saw this and just had to have it! It won it on ebay for $15 with free shipping. I wonder what Hamilton Beach would do if I sent in the warranty card? :lol:

Here is my new toy, a vintage Kitchenaid mixer. It still works and the motor seems good and strong. I saw it and just had to have it! Now I have a vintage Dormeyer too. I have a vintage Hamilton Beach hand mixer that I haven't got a picture of yet. All of these were bought within the...

This is my favorite brownie recipe and I've been making it for years. People really like them and go out of their way to tell me so. These make a nice thick fudgy brownie. I line my pan with a "sling" of parchment paper for easy removal. For nice, pretty brownies, after cooling, chill them...

OK weird dilemma here. I want a ceramic or stoneware lasagna pan (not glass or metal). Most lasagna pans that I have found are 9x13 or larger, but lasagna noodles are only around 10 inches long (yes I've measured a noodle, don't judge me!:lol:) I like to make my lasagna tall rather than...
