I remember as a girl, growing up in Michigan, picking wild blueberries near our house. My friends and I would set out armed with old butter tubs. What we did not eat was brought home. My mom would save them up until we had enough to do something with, usually it was blueberry pancakes but on occasion she would make blueberry cobbler.
I adore Lemon Pound Cake. What’s not to love. A simple cake made using a box mix with the delicate taste of lemon. And it requires no icing. It’s perfect for dessert and for breakfast.
Recently, I found Mamaw’s recipe for Sour Cream Pound Cake. I had to give it a try. This is a traditional pound cake. While dense like a pound cake should be it has a delicate flavor.
It is great on its own or topped with strawberries and whipped cream. Mamaw used to place slices in the toaster oven and toast them slightly for a breakfast treat.
Today is National Pie Day. It should not be confused with National Pi Day which is on March 14th. National Pie Day is sponsored by the American Pie Council. In recognition of this “great” day, I wanted to share my mother-in-law’s Pecan Pie recipe.
Every year I make a ton of Christmas cookies. What my family does not consume goes to the neighbors, my husband’s office or Christmas parties. One of my favorite things to make each year is Peppermint Marshmallows.
