Coconut Pecan CookiesA search on the Internet for a coconut pecan cookie recipe brought a few candidates forward and fortunately the first I tested was a slam-dunk. This is chewy, somewhat crunchy and divinely coconutty. I stayed very close to the original and glad it turned out so well. Kudos to Mike at his betterbaking.com blog for this toothsome… |

Deviled Ham & Cheese Sandwich Spread for a CrowdBack in the mid 60's my roommate Joan made this deviled ham sandwich filling and what's different about it than any I've tried since is the addition of shredded cheese. A quick call to Joan recently helped better approximate ingredients and amounts. Save this recipe so you can bring new life to leftover Easter ham! It makes 2 party… |

Irish Spuds (St. Patrick's Day Cookie)Chocolate and chewy, Irish Spuds are a unique cookie for St. Patrick's Day. The stiff chocolate-oatmeal dough is rolled into short ropes that flatten as they bake into oblong shapes resembling potatoes. Don't mind what these little rolls look like before baking, but they are sure to make the kids laugh, or to gross them out, as the… |

Buttermilk Cornbread with Green Chilies and CheeseIt’s hard to stop at just one serving of this, so if you have a hungry crowd coming, double the recipe! I love to bake cornbread in a cast iron skillet to get that crispy crust, but a 9" square baking pan will make good cornbread too. |

German Chocolate CookiesThis recipe from the BHG.com website was developed as a healthier alternative to outright decadent German chocolate cake. Rolled oats and flax meal are substitutes for part of the all purpose flour, and butter and sugar have been reduced. I resisted the urge to tweak ingredients as I often do, and was pleasantly surprised that they… |

Giant Valentine Heart Cookie (It’s a Puzzle Too!)What fun this is, to get a giant heart cookie that is a jigsaw puzzle too! Package pieces in a box, or stack pieces and tie with perky ribbon to surprise the kids (and kids of all ages.) This dough has 2 cups of oatmeal which makes for a crunchy and unusual sugar cookie. One batch makes two giant cookies that cut into 10 or more… |

Cinnamon-Raisin Graham Bread (for bread machine dough cycle or conventional yeast bread method)This is baked whole grain bread at its best, and amply satisfies my yen for cinnamon raisin bread! The grain of the loaf is fine and the taste lightly sweet. Savor a slice of the flavorful bread alone, or add a smear of cream cheese or butter. Use as… |

Chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I like this one especially. It’s Wilton’s Chocolate Chip Cookie For Giant Cookie Pans, and never fails for me to bake to chewy perfection. Add a few icing decorations or pieces of candy… |

Sugar Pumpkin Curry Cream SoupWe grow sugar pumpkins and after the harvest, I always break them down and puree them and pop them into the freezer for a long Winter's use. In addition to pies (of course), tarts, cookies, breads, custard and sauce - I love sugar pumpkin soup. As you can imagine, this member of the squash family is somewhat sweeter, has fewer seeds… |

"Ice Cream" FrostingI have made this many times and have had positive reactions, especially when people are told it is made with flour. It is easy to make; costs little and is pleasing to the taste. Use of creamed fruits makes it even more delightful.. It is labor saving. It is great used on cupcakes also . |

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. |

Leftover Oatmeal Raisin Nut MuffinsLeftover cooked oatmeal joins basic quickbread ingredients to make a delicious batch of muffins. Rather than wasting excess cooked oatmeal, freeze in measured batches for using up in baked goods such as this recipe. It's surprising what a win/win this can turn out to be. |

Honey Walnut Bran MuffinsI concocted this recipe from ingredients I like a lot. How can you go wrong with wheat bran, buttermilk, walnuts and honey? Half of the walnuts are reserved, get sprinkled on top of the muffin batter, and the subsequent toasting deepens their flavor considerably. I use 100% whole wheat pastry flour for muffins and cookies for the… |
