Ok, I admit it, I’m a Fall Fanatic! It's my favorite season of the year without a doubt and nothing says fall to me like pumpkin bread. This particular recipe was introduced to our church community in the 1960s by our associate minister’s wife. My mother made this recipe so many times over the years, it’s naturally named "Mom’s pumpkin bread.” One of my fondest memories is sharing a piece (or two) with her whenever she baked it. Trust me, I have tried lots of pumpkin bread recipes, but this one is my absolute favorite. I know you will love it too.

Nothing announces the arrival of summer quite like a generous slice of fresh strawberry pie piled high with a mountain of fresh whipped cream. Here in Kentuckiana, strawberries are really in season starting in late June. Its always a fun time to go to the local family farm and go strawberry picking…

I LOVE BREAD! One of life’s simple pleasures is a great loaf of fresh baked bread. After attending a “no knead” bread making class, I decided to explore alternative options for easy bread making. During my journey, I came across several recipes for easy homemade bread, baked in a slow cooker or crock pot. After some experimentation, I combined a few of the ideas from various recipes to create my own special version of crock pot bread. Enjoy!

For quite some time, I’ve heard about Sally’s brownies from my son-in-law. Sally is his coworker at United Airlines Corporate Office in Chicago. Among her other talents, Sally has earned the title of official brownie maker for their office, and also for her family and friends. Whenever there’s an occasion at the office for any celebration, Sally makes her famous brownies.

Happy Spring Y'all! I have been making this version of a pig pen cake for at least 40 years, after a neighbor shared this recipe with me in the 80’s. This cake is served cold, so it’s light and refreshing on a warm spring or summer day.

This chocolate cake is a great way to celebrate Fat Tuesday and your sweet tooth - making this recipe seems too easy to be true! It starts with a cake mix and with the addition of a few more ingredients, it’s all mixed and baked in one 9"x13" pan. Couldn’t be easier and the chocolate frosting just adds another layer of decadence. Once you have tried this, let me know how much you enjoy it. I believe you will be making this again and again! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

If you need to satisfy your sweet tooth while watching your waistline, this is the prescription for you. There are literally only two ingredients you’ll need: a box of Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple. That’s it!!

My love of scones started a few years ago after attending Afternoon Tea at the Drake Hotel in Chicago with a lifelong friend. It’s a memory I’ll always treasure and nothing takes me back there like the smell of a warm scone. Delight yourself and your friends with some delicious scones and create your own Afternoon Tea!

One of my earliest memories of making cut-out sugar cookies, lovingly called “cookie cutters,” was with my mom and brothers during the holidays. Over the years, I have collected many different cookie cutters from boutiques and shops both local and abroad. I love using them, because it always brings back so many amazing memories. My wish is that you will take this recipe, gather these simple ingredients, and create some memories in your kitchen with family and cookie cutters. Happy Holidays!

There’s a charming town in old Kentucky called Versailles that is home to the Wallace Station Deli. Their bakery case is strategically placed inside the entrance showcasing a variety of pies, scones, brownies, bars, and my personal favorite, their giant oatmeal raisin cookies. There’s nothing better than the smell of fresh baked goodies and let me tell you, it’s hard to leave Wallace Station without picking up some cookies for your trip home.
