Speedy Fish & ChipsThis is supposed to be a good for you dish, but all I can say it is a really good dish. I got this from my mother it was one of our favorites when I lived @ home. Now my kids go there & love it too. This is the only way they will eat fish other that a heavy, oily, deep fried mess. |

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick!I 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. |

Crowd-wowing Flat Apple Pie!In my all time top FAVS of pie recipes, this pastry is like a Texas-size turnover! Baked in a jelly roll pan, it’s a cinch to transport to meetings or parties, and even easier to serve. Be forewarned that there are some extra steps to this colossal pie, but don't special occasions merit them? A great addition to holiday dessert… |

Chocolate Chip Date Nut LoafIn my upper tier of nut bread recipe FAVS, Chocolate Chip Date Nut Loaf is one I reserve for special occasions, usually during the Christmas season and wrapped as token gifts for others. Bake as large loaves to slice and share at holiday potlucks, or in mini-loaves or jumbo cupcakes for gifting. A distinct alternative to the typical… |

Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned WayI 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… |

Cranberry TorteAn elegant dessert recipe that makes a showy finale to the holiday meal. It’s a make-ahead and freeze recipe, which will simplify matters on the day you’ll use it. When it’s time for dessert, remove from freezer, add the glaze and serve. A stand mixer works best to whip the filling if available: be sure bowl and beaters are clean and… |
