"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

These juicy and classic burgers are shaped and decorated like the American flag, perfect for celebrating the 4th of July.

This is a great way to use up some leftover turkey breast. Not to mention after the holidays we all need a little weight watcher help!

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

This soda bread was absolutely tasty, cheddar cheese, chunk of fresh onion and garlic add huge amount of flavor into the classic soda bread, of course you can always serve it with any your favorite Irish main course, but just eating itself is absolutely enjoyable!

"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."

Pumpkin, cognac, cream cheese, sour cream and spices make this cheesecake creamy, smooth, rich and delicious. The toasted almonds adds extra nuttiness, and it also gives the cheesecake a beautiful coating on the outer edge. This is the kind of cheesecake that everyone gives a big "WOW".

Tasty Halloween treats made into the shape of mice. Very chocolaty but not too sweet.

Very flaky and buttery, just right amount of sweetness! Definitely recommend this recipe for Christmas.

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These oven roasted potatoes come out delicious, sage gives the herby flavor and it's a light yet tasty side dish that can be accompanied with any your favorite main course.
