Hummingbird Cake and Homecoming

Hummingbird Cake and Homecoming

Homecoming, also known as Dinner on the Ground (it’s a southern thang!) in 1978, somewhere among all those familiar dishes and desserts was a cake we had never tasted before. My mother had found a new recipe she wanted to try. Hummingbird Cake. And since that time, it became one of our holiday favorite cakes.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies

As a child, nothing smelled better than walking in the door from school with the smell of something, anything, baking in the oven. One of my favorite memories is when my momma would bake her peanut butter cookies, and they were ready fresh out of the oven when we walked in the door from school. Get the recipe…

Holiday Acorns

Holiday Acorns

Holiday Acorns. This is a fun and simple recipe I made with my two grands. It was as easy as anything we have done and taste so good! Be sure to make plenty! They go fast!

Fill a fruit jar with the Holiday Acorns and secure the top with a Thanksgiving gift tag and twine. The perfect way to say “Thank You” to neighbors and friends during the holiday season.

One of the best chocolate pound cakes that is quick and easy to make! So moist and delicious fresh out of the oven drizzled with chocolate sauce! This cake never stays around for long!

Apple Crisp with Walnuts

Apple Crisp with Walnuts

It’s that time of the year. Fresh apples. Good to eat straight from the tree, bake with cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter, or maybe a fresh apple cake that my aunt makes that is always so delicious. So many recipes and ideas running through my head!
