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.

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.

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!

My mother used to make this delicious cake for me and my brothers, especially in the summer. It's the perfect treat for a warm summer day.
