Best Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemoncello SauceThis is cooking school 101. Easy - and impressive, which takes it to graduate school! Besides, I also have blueberries to use before this year's crop begins to fruit out. The end result is every bit as delicious as the photo appears. |

Aunt Birdie’s Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Two Versions)This recipe brings fond memories of a favorite aunt who was a terrific cook.

This is the only sour cream coffee cake recipe I’ve ever seen that starts with a… |

German Drop CookiesPecan-laden German Drop Cookies are reminiscent of Mexican wedding cookies, but I like these even better for the cinnamon-laced powdery topping. You can make ahead and freeze the dough if well wrapped, then thaw and bake at a later date. This recipe appeared in Relish Magazine a few years ago. |

This one-bowl recipe will be quick on cleanup, and that will give you more time to savor this unusual treat. |

Chewy Crunchy Double Chocolate BrowniesThese brownies are my all-time favorite. They have two unusual ingredients: brown sugar and coconut, which add interesting taste variations and make them more moist than run-of-the-mill brownies. Be sure not to over-bake. They will be done in 20-25 minutes if using a bright aluminum pan; adjust time or temperature appropriately if… |

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross CookiesPeanut butter cookie recipes abound, but none of them came close to rekindling memories of the favorite from my youth - until I came across this one in an Old Farmer's Almanac. The first batch I made convinced me the recipe was the one from my early baking years. Ah - answered prayers! |
