Halloween Finger Cookies by John Spottiswood

These taste like a rich biscotti. But the best thing about them is the spooky Halloween look! Try serving them at a Halloween party or bringing them to work. It feels creepy to eat them!

Pumpkin Custard Cake by Joann Mathias

Everything Goes Oatmeal Coookies by J. Gino Genovesi

This is an original recipe. I was making them, years ago, because my children wanted a "loaded" oatmeal cookie that was good, soft and plump. Now my grand children like them and I thought I would pass it on so others can enjoy them. They are easy to prepare and delicious. Chef J. Gino Genovesi

Old-Fashioned Raisin Walnut Spice Bars by Salad Foodie

This vintage bar cookie recipe should be included in the Oldie-But-Goodie Cookie Hall of Fame. Great for a brunch treat, snack or coffee break, it is dated 1960 but is timeless in appeal. Easily tweaked to reduce fat (swap out half the oil with equivalent amount of applesauce) or reduce sugar (sub non-nutritive sweetener…

Key Lime Pound Cake by The Mom Chef

Have you ever seen a recipe in a magazine that looked so good you bought said magazine for just that one dish? Have you ever then made that one dish and been sorely disappointed, almost the the point of vowing never to buy that magazine again? Well, this isn't the case with this cake. Sorry for that, but it's pretty hard to create…

Honey Bun Cake adapted from myblessedlife.net by Tamara Daugherty

This is a beautiful cake when baked in a bundt pan and tastes so much like the famous Honey Buns you find in stores. Most of the recipes I researched and tested did not include honey. In this case, I did, while adding a few other ingredients. It turned out be become a cake one would be proud to serve and very easy to prepare.

Rhubarb Custard Pie by Robyn Savoie

My mother always made Rhubarb Custard Pie with the first rhubarb picked. It's one of my earliest memories of a favorite treat, so I feel lucky to have this recipe.

Autumn Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie by Robyn Savoie

Two autumn standards—pumpkin and apple—are joined together in this delightful pie. Topped with a crown of golden pastry “leaves,” this dessert is sure to impress.

Banana Split Pie by Mary Joseph

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not much of a baker, but this is an old family recipe that has been gratiously "given" to me for use in my cookbook so I want to share it here with you all. Its one of the very few dessert recipes I make and its addicting, so look out. To this day if I show up to Thanksgiving without this people are…

Bananas Foster Cream Pie by Adam Janowski

I made this recipe for the first time this past weekend. It turned out so well that I immediately made it again! I received rave reviews on this pie so I decided to post it here.

“Bear Sign” (Or… a more polite name: “Nut & Berry Shortbread Bars”) by Kevin Olomon

During the off-season, when salmon aren’t readily available up north, Alaskan bears eat mainly nuts and berries. So to track a bear in the woods, you simply look to the forest floor and watch for “bear sign”. Need I say more? Ha! These are SO easy…

Creole Pralines by Amos Miller

Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy! It is time to play 'soft ball', and we're not talking the sport - we're talking Creole candy. When the recipe calls for your concoction on the stove to reach the…

Buttermilk Coconut Cake by Kathleen Scott

My father remembered the coconut cake I made him for Father's Day and asked for a coconut cake for his birthday. I don't make desserts when it's just me and Denny but Dad knew I'd make one for him. I'm happy he's still here. And I believe this: Eat your cake while you can, especially at 87. The Father's Day cake was the FIRST…

Uncle Amos' Molasses Cookies by Amos Miller

This is an old stand-by, perfect for the holidays, for winter, for enjoying with a glass of milk, or hot coffee, tea or cocoa. The beautiful thing is that these cookies get better everyday - if you can stand to have them around without consuming them! This is a make-the-dough-one-day and bake-the-cookies-the-next project, so…
