Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way by Amos Miller

I have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat. You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf…

Banana-Nut Muffins by Robyn Savoie

Use ripe bananas and you'll be pleasantly surprised with extra-sweet, moist wholesome muffins. I found chocolate, banana and peanut butter go well together. Occasionally, I add a pleasant surprise before baking, Mini-Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Gently insert one into the center of each muffin, omit the chopped pecans.

Peanut Butter, Apple And Bacon Sandwiches by Robyn Savoie

Crisp, smooth, salty, sweet, warm, cool. These have it all. Do experiment with the fruit. My favorite is actually with pear - bosc or comice, but I have had this with peach, nectarines, mango. Have fun with the bread too! I've used cinnamon raisin and fruity nut rolls.
