texas date loaf candy by Marlin RinehartThis is a delicious old-fashioned Texas recipe similar to fudge but is shaped into a log and sliced. I was surprised to learn from a Mexican cookbook it is also made in old Mexico. |

Drop Sand Tarts by Jann from PAThis is a holiday cookie! It is an easier version of an old-fashioned rolled out cookie. It tastes very similar, but is not as unique as when they were rolled out, cut in fancy shapes and decorated. The old cookies were first brushed with an egg wash (beaten egg and water) with a pastry brush then topped with sugar (usually red and… |

Christmas Jewels (Fruit Cake Cookies) by Salad FoodieA munchy spice cookie with loads of nuts. Mixed candied fruit adds the “jewel tones,” moisture and softness. These perky and tasty nuggets won’t last long on the cookie platter. |

Lime Gelatin with Pears and Cherries by Salad FoodieMy aunt made this gelatin frequently in winter especially during the holidays, and with its predominant green and red colors, it makes an appealing luncheon dessert. The recipe posted is as close as my memories allowed. However today with the variety of health issues guests may have, I frequently offer 2 versions, the one below and a… |

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad FoodieI haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen. |

Cherry Winks ~ Classic Cookies by Amos MillerThis is the original recipe for a cookie that won the 2nd Pillsbury Bake Off. They contain dates, pecans, maraschino cherries, cornflakes and a kiss of vanilla extract.

Mom's Homemade Peach Dumplings by SyiThis recipe was given to me by my mom. When it comes to pies & cobblers, I'm considered a "crust snatcher" as I love the crusts more than the fruit or filling; and when I see a cobbler, I'll cut into it and lift out all of the crust and just leave the fruit and juice for everyone else (if given the chance)! LOL!! So this recipe is… |

Cranberry Torte by Salad FoodieAn elegant dessert recipe that makes a showy finale to the holiday meal. It’s a make-ahead and freeze recipe, which will simplify matters on the day you’ll use it. When it’s time for dessert, remove from freezer, add the glaze and serve. A stand mixer works best to whip the filling if available: be sure bowl and beaters are clean and… |

Seven Up Lemon Jello Trifle by Marilyn LesniakThis recipe has been passed down for four generations in my family. I have made it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter since my mom passed. I always am requested to make this dish for every family get together. I always have made this as a trifle until this year when my dish was being used already. I put it in a 9x11 glass dish… |

These will make a beautiful display for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Try making them with the Pumpkin Cookies with Icing that I posted. They make a beautiful combination (see photo together). But if you just have time to… |
