Rhubarb-Ginger Upside-Down Cake by Robyn Savoie

Rhubarb cake gets a delightful update with the spicy-sweet addition of crystallized ginger to its caramelized topping. Cake flour provides an extra-light crumb.

Chocolate Cranberry Fudge Cake by Robyn Savoie

This is so outrageously good it's sinful! The combination of decadent chocolate and tart cranberries is simply fabulous. You will find yourself serving this in small wedges because it's moist and dense like a fudge. Unlike a cake, which is moist, light and delicate.

Shepherd's Pie for lazy cooks by Glenn

You can make this a hearty meat celebration, heavy with veggies or just a cleansing of the pantry dish. All of my measurements are "ish" meaning they are close to what is listed but nothing is critical so you can cut back on what you don't like and add more of what you do like. Let's just say, "Prepare to taste." You can replace…

Grandma Koehler's Pumpkin Pie by Glenn

Grandma Koehler preferred the long neck green stripe pumpkin (actually a gourd) for her pies. The result was that in addition to the unique taste the filling was stringy, much like spaghetti. If you are not that venturesome, any good pumpkin will work just fine with this recipe. It is not an easy recipe but it includes a number of…

Aunt Helen's EZ Baked Bean by Glenn

Aunt Helen gave this recipe to my mother who modified it slightly. My mother gave it to my sister who modified it slightly. My sister gave it to me and I modified it to suit my taste. It is quite tasty and rivals the more complex and difficult recipes that I have for Boston Baked Beans. In less than an hour and a half you can have…

EZ Lasagna My Way by Glenn

I have a love-hate relationship with lasagna. I hate the difficulty of making it and I usually don't like the taste of fresh lasagna right out of the oven. I love re-heated lasagna (even if you re-heat in in a microwave parching machine). Something tastes better the second time around. So here it is my EZ (Easy is just too…

Gluten Free Pepperoni Rolls by Shawn Christopher

I love pepperoni rolls. There is a certain type of pepperoni roll that you can get in nearly every store in West Virginia, but nowhere else in the united states. I love the taste of them. I tried and tried to make them exactly like the West Virginia pepperoni rolls but haven't got it perfected yet so here is a creation of my own.…

This pie is "mountain High" when baked by Gary Supeck. This simple recipe is a must for anyone who wants a great tasting quality apple pie.

Easy Corn Casserole by Glenn

My family loves corn anything and this will be a regular thing at our dinners. Thanks to my friend Jaynee Levy-Polis for the recipe.

Cumin and Coriander BBQ Pork Spareribs by Mihir Shah

I had this at a friends house over the weekend - they made two kinds of ribs. A more "traditional" slab with light spice and honey, and this gem. I actually returned some of the traditional slab to the serving plate so I could make room for this winner! The best part of this recipe is the mix of cumin and coriander in the dry rub.…
