We love it!!

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

"A Contest winning recipe from Oma Rollison (my mother) featured in Reminisce Magazine with her now famous Banana's 'N Cream Bundt cake. A San Diego, Calif. newspaper once dubbed her "The Queen of Country Cooking." (I guess the apple never falls far from the tree.) She's no longer with us, but her wonderful recipes are."

Whole roasting a chicken is a great way to economize. This herb roasted chicken always turns out moist and juicy with great flavor. I then package the leftover meat one cup at a time into zipper bags and store in the freezer for later use in casseroles or hashes. Then using the remains I made a homemade chicken stock that is much better than any store bought stock.

Made this Hawaiian stuffed chicken breast for dinner, didn't have herb stuffing mix, so I sliced up 1 slice of whole grain bread into 1/2-inch cubes, tossed with a bit dry Italian herb mix and a bit olive oil...

A creamy tangy herbed dipping sauces that makes a great dipping sauce for crab cakes. Works equally as well as a salmon cake dipping sauce or even as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers.
