Banana Nut Cake with Black Walnut FrostingCan't believe my history of baking this cake but it's true! Nearly 50 years ago I begged a school cafeteria for its recipe and it was mine for the asking! It is so easy to make and always a pleaser at pot lucks and bake sales. A unique change of pace from banana bread, the cake has a divinely light texture from buttermilk, and rich… |

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.

Apple PieI bought almost 750gr of (non Granny Smith) sour green apples as I was craving green apples so badly. Unfortunately, I brought home really sour, thick-skinned and hard-to-bite green apples. I only ate probably three apples from the whole bag and still had lots of sour green apples leftover in the fridge - which I found pretty inedible… |

Peanutty Oatmeal CookiesA different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly. |

Blueberry BuckleChock full of blueberries, the tender and not-too-sweet cake batter produces a mid-morning coffee cake or dessert ‘extraordinaire’! A light streusel-like topping bakes to a fine crunchy top and it does indeed buckle or crumple a bit! |

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! |
