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… |

Moravian Sugar CakeLititz, PA was founded in 1756 as a closed Moravian community and remained that way for 100 years. The town is built around the Moravian Church Square and while it now hosts many religions the Moravian Star and Moravian food dominate. While not Moravian, our family enjoyed Moravian Sugar Cake as a special treat. We always got ours… |

Never Fail Chocolate CakeOne of the easiest, and moistest chocolate cakes you will ever bake. My grandmother, Eva Koehler, called it her "never fail" recipe. It is nearly impossible to screw up. She always topped it with peanut butter icing (which is simply a white icing with peanut butter mixed in to taste). |

Zucchini Oatmeal CookiesIf you like a semi-soft, moist yet chewy cookie Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies should appeal to you. Overtime I have tried different zucchini cookie recipes. For this version I blended a few ideas from them and included some of my own. So far I like this best. |

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… |

Aunt Birdie’s Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Two Versions)This recipe brings fond memories of a favorite aunt who was a terrific cook. (My cousin and I used to say the only thing we wanted when Aunt Birdie passed away was her recipe box!) The recipe works equally well as a Bundt cake or as a 9" x 13" cake. This is the only sour cream coffee cake recipe I’ve ever seen that starts with a… |

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE PIEI NEVER THOUGHT I,D BE USING A MICROWAVE TO MAKE A GOOD PIE OF ANY FLAVOR! TRULY THIS RECIPE MAKES A DELICIOUS PIE AS LONG AS YOU STRAIN THE PIE FILLING BEFORE PUTTING INTO CRUST. USING AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF CHIPS IS WHAT MAKES THE FLAVOR STAND OUT. |

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie BarsTo be honest with you, my aunt’s recipe was chocolate chip cookies, not bars, but I decided to make them into bars one evening when I wanted something sweet and did not want to bake endless pans of cookies (her recipe makes about 70 cookies). I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her… |
