This is just good country food, like I got when I'd have dinner at Nellie Keeling's home up Horse Mill Hollow, near Glasgow, W. Va. Pandowdy is a highly… |

Hummingbird Sheet CakeSouthern Living Magazine is credited with first publishing Hummingbird Cake recipe in 1978, submitted by Mrs. L.H. Wiggins of Greensboro, N.C.

Rhubarb CakeThis recipe was previously called "German Rhubarb Cake." I had this recipe for years, I think I got it from a family friend. I removed the word "German" because any German Rhubarb Cake recipes I have seen, all had a meringue topping.

Tapioca MousseThis is a very fluffy, light, but rich tasting dessert. It is best served chilled. The mixture of texture between the slight chewiness of the tapioca and the frothy dissipation of the mousse delights the senses. |

Gluten Free Chocolate Espresso Biscotti / MandelbrotCoffee, chocolate and cinnamon are wonderful together. These crunchy cookies are a perfect treat. This recipe is designed to be gluten free but feel free to use wheat flour, eliminating the xanthan gum if using wheat flour. The GF flour gives these cookies a sandy, crunchy texture that I love. I buy organic sugar, which is a bit too… |

Pumpkin Pineapple Walnut CakeReminiscent of carrot cake, this recipe lends easily to sweetness modification or whole grain flour substitutions to your tastes. The first time around in making it I was tempted to tweak it using less sugar and oil. Good thing I didn't - Lou Seibert Pappas had it perfectly balanced for the masses in her "A Harvest of Pumpkins and… |
