Fabulous 3 Cherry Pie

Fabulous 3 Cherry Pie by Amos Miller

Most folks don't have the luxury of owning a personal cherry orchard, so I modified this recipe using ingredients available at most stores. You'll save the picking and pitting time and end up with a fabulous pie that will thrill even those who say they do not care for cherry pie (I've had it happen). As a native-born…

Banana Bread

Banana Bread by Rose Elliott

I've been making this banana bread for years, making small changes here and there. It's a great one to make with the kids, and enjoy hot out of the oven! You can make it into muffins as well, just adjust the cook time accordingly (~20 minutes for full-size muffins).

This is a super simple dessert that's great for a large or small gathering. I generally use nectarines or peaches and some sort of berries, but cherries plums and apricots will work too.

Easy Berry Pie

Easy Berry Pie by Nancy Miyasaki

I took the kids to a berry farm and we picked a few bags of olallie berries (similar to black berries) and I made this wonderful pie from them. With a purple grin, my daughter said "I love berry pie"! This really is excellent if you have good fresh berries.

Easy Cinnamon Apple Strudel

Easy Cinnamon Apple Strudel by Nancy Miyasaki

This is super simple and truly delicious. I made it for John's birthday dinner, since he loves cinnamon apple desserts with vanilla ice cream. It's light and flavorful without being too rich. We finished it all in one night between the six of us. Mmm!

Blueberry-Peach Cobbler

Blueberry-Peach Cobbler by Nancy Miyasaki

This makes a wonderful mid-late summer treat when fresh peaches and nectarines are in abundance. You can substitute nectarines, apricots, Pluots, and other fruits for the peaches if they look better. I've made a number of cobbler recipes and this is the best. You won't be disappointed!

Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler by maribeth carson

This is a great old fashioned cobbler recipe defiantly worth the extra effort. My family enjoys this in their own unique ways. My hubby enjoys his cold with a sprinkle of sugar while I only like it hot with a sprinkle of sugar and dash of milk. My kids will eat it hot or cold with more than a sprinkle of sugar and dash of milk. I have…

Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way

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…

When plum tomatoes are on sale this summer, grab a bagful and make this simple and delicious side dish. It goes great with just about anything you will cook on the grill--steak, lamb, chicken or fish. Or just have it as part of a vegetarian meal. However you serve it, you and your guests will love it!

Banana, pecans and chocolate chips muffins

Banana, pecans and chocolate chips muffins by Malicia Flore

The other day, I discovered a nice dessert: the banana cake in the restaurant Factory&Co. This is the first time I tasted, because I'm not a fan of bananas usually. But here it was a stroke of heart, nay a revelation. This exquisite cake made capsized my taste buds ... and soft desire, with a slight touch of chocolate and cinnamon.…
