	texas date loaf candy by Marlin Rinehart This 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.	3 votes 12480 views
	Drop Sand Tarts by Jann from PA This 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…	1 vote 11884 views
	Christmas Jewels (Fruit Cake Cookies) by Salad Foodie A 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.	1 vote 2 comments 7096 views
	Lime Gelatin with Pears and Cherries by Salad Foodie My 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…	1 vote 6147 views
	Peanut Butter Potato Candy by Stan Jenkins This is a delicious candy you don't have to cook or bake. People are often surprised to know the white is made of potatoes and not cream cheese.	3 votes 1 review 1 comment 29348 views
	Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie I 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.	3 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 22431 views

	Cherry Winks ~ Classic Cookies by Amos Miller This 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. I have followed the original recipe but you G-F members will see my modifications for you in the Ingredints below. I've adapted the recipe for gluten intolerant…	1 vote 3 comments 12923 views
	Mom's Homemade Peach Dumplings by Syi This 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…	1 vote 10869 views
	Cranberry Torte by Salad Foodie An 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…	3 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 13248 views
	Foolproof Sugar Cookie Recipe by Annette Vlahos This recipe is the best sugar cookie recipe ever! There is no mess with a pastry board full of flour! I use parchment paper to roll out the dough. And I get my sprinkles from www.MillCreekCountryStore.com. They have a variety of colors for every holiday.	3 votes 2 reviews 8128 views
	Seven Up Lemon Jello Trifle by Marilyn Lesniak This 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…	1 vote 4407 views
	Strawberry Pretzel dessert by Frosted Flaker Fell in love with this when I first tried it about 25 years ago. Nicknamed it 'World Class jello' since it has such a premium taste and quality to it.	3 votes 2 reviews 10719 views

	Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Bars by Nancy Miyasaki These were a huge hit at my October book club! You've never tasted anything quite like them...but you need to. 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…	7 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6824 views
