Easy Go Poppy Seed CakeSo many forget how good this cake is. It is easy to prepare and makes a great presentation. It is also great to dunk into coffee, wine etc. It is a cake that one can add any type of fruit, nuts or flavorings and it still is good.. However, this one is a very traditional cake. |

Chocolate Cake with Fluffy White FrostingThis is the best, easiest cake you will make. It makes the perfect adult Birthday Cake. I have made and sold many of these cakes over the years. The cake has a rich chocolate taste and fluffy texture. The layers can be made a day or two in advance of serving with no harm to the texture. It can be frosted and refrigerated a day before… |

Oat Pecan Praline CookiesChewy, slightly soft texture with a hint of caramel pecan, these attractive cookies make a nice snack for company with coffee, tea or milk. Sometimes we bakers just have to break out of the oatmeal-raisin cookie rut, and these certainly do! |

Rhubarb Crumble (crunch, crisp or whatever!)An old-fashioned dessert that has endless appeal. Whether you call it a crumble, crunch or a crisp - it is delish! Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and praise will abound. This is my tweaked version of several from the Internet. There are all so many out there, but I think you‘ll like the ease of making… |

Chocolate Chip Zucchini CookiesZucchini cookies much like pumpkin cookies tend to have a cake-like texture rather than crisp or crunchy from the extra moisture of the vegetable. In this recipe the cookies come closer to a crisp/chewy texture through (1) extra draining step of the zucchini and (2) pressing the cookies down on cookie sheet before baking. |

Open Faced Peach Mango Cobbler w/Crystallized GingerPeaches and mangoes are wonderful and bright with natural, juicy sweetness, unmatched by many. This cobbler is a little more figure friendly in that there is only one crust as opposed to the traditional two. Ginger makes a notable appearance in this recipe for a natural spiciness and the luxury of being one of the super spices and… |

The dry, crunchy cookie contained no fat, but was nourishment for the Roman Legion. They were dipped in wine or any other liquid available. Because of the convenience of the Biscotti, the… |

Molasses CookiesA modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you… |

FRESH APPLE CAKEI love this cake. Anything with fruit and nuts is wonderful as far as I'm concerned. This cake is great without frosting, however, if you wish, you can frost with cream cheese or vanilla frosting. |
