Bourbon Pecan Cake

Bourbon Pecan Cake by Farrell May Podgorsek

This versatile cake has a mild bourbon flavor. It is a popular adult birthday cake in my family. Chocolate lovers can add chocolate chips to the topping. Frosting lovers can make a layer cake to fill and frost. Cream cheese or buttercream made with bourbon would be nice. Tip: Make sure that the Bourbon you use is not harsh. For a…

Chocolate Chip Meringue Bars

Chocolate Chip Meringue Bars by Farrell May Podgorsek

A different twist on a chocolate chip bar. The egg yolks are used in the dough, and the whites are beaten with brown sugar to make a meringue topping for the bars. Made by his mother, these bars were a childhood favorite of my husband. It was a race to the mailbox when a shoebox full of these bars would be sent to him at…

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce by Farrell May Podgorsek

The photo does not do justice to one of the best desserts I have made. The Pumpkin Bread Pudding melts in your mouth while you inhale the warm spice tones of cinnamon, allspice, ginger and clove. The silky Bourbon Sauce topped the adult's desserts. My husband went for pumpkin overload by adding Pumpkin Ice Cream. This will definitely…

Focaccia

Focaccia by Farrell May Podgorsek

This focaccia is light, flavorful and very easy to make. The flavor and texture are excellent. The dough has only one rise. Start to finish takes about 2 hours. Focaccia is best eaten warm. Be creative and top with thinly sliced vegetables, herbs or spices, seed blends or sliced olives before baking. Leftover focaccia can be warmed…

Honey Rosemary Chicken

Honey Rosemary Chicken by Salad Foodie

I really liked the marinade/glaze and its rosemary and balsamic flavors. If preferred, substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs or other chicken parts (baking time for smaller or thicker pieces will need to be adjusted.) This recipe will lend itself to your busy schedule: (1) Marinate the chicken in fridge while you…

Favorite Pumpkin Bread

Favorite Pumpkin Bread by Salad Foodie

This is even good the day of baking, but improves and mellows with age. Freezes well, but it's hard to keep out of the fresh baked to have any left for the freezer!

Lemon Berry Pie with Meringue Top

Lemon Berry Pie with Meringue Top by Balicravings

Spring is here. The supermarkets are full of berries, although the self picking season is still far away. We do love picking fruits and vegetables and eating them fresh from the trees or bushes. Summer is the time that we are out in the fields, and return home directly to the kitchen….. But for now, frozen berries can give the…

Autumn Spice Cake

Autumn Spice Cake by Farrell May Podgorsek

One of my favorite creations. I was going to make my carrot cake which calls for pureed carrots, and realized I had no carrots. It's Fall, and what I did have on hand was canned butternut squash puree. The butternut squash purée and crushed pineapple add a subtle flavor and lots of moisture to this mildly spiced cake. Even the…

Banana Nut and Chocolate Chip Bread

Banana Nut and Chocolate Chip Bread by Judy Fisher

This is a delicious banana nut bread recipe based on Fanny Farmer's recipe with chocolate chips. This was the basic recipe that my husband's mom used when she made banana nut bread. We added the chocolate chips when one of my neighbors made banana nut bread and he used chocolate chips in his, which my kids loved. I stole the idea…

Jewish Apple Cake

Jewish Apple Cake by Farrell May Podgorsek

This is my version of a traditional Jewish Apple Cake. It is one of my Fall favorites. It stays moist and flavorful for days, a good choice when you need to bake ahead of time. Of course, the cake is also wonderful fresh from the oven, cooled just enough to not burn your mouth. I have modified the traditional recipe to include a…
