Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way by Amos MillerI have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa.

You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf… |

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad FoodieI 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. |

Everything Goes Oatmeal Coookies by J. Gino GenovesiThis is an original recipe. I was making them, years ago, because my children wanted a "loaded" oatmeal cookie that was good, soft and plump. Now my grand children like them and I thought I would pass it on so others can enjoy them. They are easy to prepare and delicious. Chef J. Gino Genovesi |
