This is a lovely cake that really tastes custardy.

Brian adored this one (maybe it was the homegrown rhubarb from the garden)

This is are annual Christmas treats

This are addictive – but beware, they make a HUGE batch so be prepared to offload them to someone

Made this for Easter dinner at Helen/Brian. Not too bad!

Really simple and darn good. It even tasted good when tipped (Mike didn’t set it in the car very secure!).

These are totally delicious and soooo easy… just four ingredients.

Here it is Brian – ready when your rhubarb is ready.  Helen – it’s really easy and I usually double the recipe and bake in a 9×13 pan, just because it goes fast!  And it’s so good warm with ice cream.  YUM!!!

I got this recipe from my grandma via email today, and since I haven’t published much of anything lately, I thought I’d put it here for safe keeping. Apparently, she got it from somebody that brought it into church for everybody to try, and my grandma liked them so much, she had to steal the recipe and send it to everyone. Well, now it’s online grandma …

Well this is one of those tried and true recipes – I believe that I first cooked this straight from a magazine when I was around 20. People always say that their recipes use items that are always in your house, but this recipe truly does. Simple. Delicious. It doesn’t get any better.

This was B’s Birthday Cake (well technically it is a tart) and always looking for good apple based recipes I thought that I would try out this number.

It was absolutely worth it, despite thinking that next time I would perhaps bake the pie a little longer it was perfectly delicous and much less difficult than you would think!

These are worth trying out for a treat.

My pear tree was loaded this fall and have been canning till I can’t look at another pear! So I found this recipe and my husband loved it. So fast to prepare and so good to eat! The spice in the creamy smooth custard sauce makes this an irresistible dessert for cardamom lovers. Best when served fresh out of the oven, this clafouti is versatile enough for breakfast, brunch or dessert.

Now I think that the chocolate souffle has a bad name. It is actually extremely easy to make and delicious (plus it is pretty much carb free for those carb conscious out there). This is not the best souffle I have had (or made) but it is very simple to make.

Now I must admit that I haven’t tried this one yet, but it looked so good I had to post it. Beware who ever comes over next will have a serving of this delicious treat.

Oh My! I have recently discovered a fascination with brownies, they are so chewy and chocolately who wouldn’t love them? Especially good with some fresh whipped cream.

This recipe is quick and easy to make. It’s a decent quick treat that stores well for yourself, or little kids who happen to have a sweet tooth. Just don’t take it out into the sun on a hot, warm day … that is unless you’d like to eat a big chocolate mess (which can be fun to do too).

These cookies went so fast while we staying at the White Lace Inn. We never got to taste them! We’d be gone during the day, come back later in the afternoon and they were gone! So they must be awesome.

This fall my husband and I took a trip to Door County in Wisconsin and stayed at the White Lace Inn (B&B), absolutely heavenly. The tree’s fall colors were at peak-awesome! The White Lace Inn cooked the best meals. I enjoyed hot cocoa every night!

This is great to have on hand in the freezer. When company comes, it’s all prepared. And I enjoy having a glass of it while I’m outside enjoying the hot tub or the pool.

Using a basic cream pie, you can choose to make instead a banana cream pie, which Gramps loves also. And of course, I use the excuse that bananas are good for you, so that makes him feel better about all the sweets!!!

The rest of the family also likes a good banana pie, including my sister, Sherry, and brother, Dick!

This is the pie that Brian Stewart ordered for our 2005 Christmas. Jeffrey and Gramps also love this pie. When it came to the pies, everyone, it seems wanted coconut cream pie. Oh well, next time, we’ll make more.

This is a basic recipe for cream pies that I have used for 55 years. It comes from a Betty Crocker cook book that I received in Home Economics class in high school and I have been using it ever since.

Gerry is always asking for one of these cream pies. In fact, he has the grandchildren also asking for one of these also. It is usually a coconut or banana after making the basic part!

I don’t know quite where my mother got this, but this recipe was one that she made for us when we were kids — and usually only when we were especially good kids. It’s a really really REALLY yummy treat, served best over vanilla ice cream.

There’s a couple ways of cooking it, so I’ve provided both of them. The traditional way with an oven, or the convenience of a microwave.

This pie is one of those desserts that if you died right after eating it, you would die happy. It is also crazy easy and looks really hard. This one goes out to all of my peanut butter loving brothas and sistas. It is not my recipe. I stole it from an ex-boyfriend’s sister. At least something good came from the relationship.

Who doesnt love chocolate? Me, I A-D-O-R-E it. I love this recipe for its simplicity and above all the day-before preparation. When I have guests over, I prefer to have as much as I can prepared the day before.

When I was little, my favourite desert was chocolate mousse, so for me this is always as much about nostalgia as blowing my taste buds.

The first question that you Aussies are going to have is “what the hell is pudding?” and no it is nothing like OUR pudding. It is kinda like a thickened flavoured custard I guess, so in place of pudding I guess you could see if it was possible to set a custard. This was a delicious, if a little time consuming, pie. It took the ordinary strawbery flan and changed it around combining a flan with a cake.

Definitely worth a try especially if you have some time up your sleeve.

Go ahead … indulge your sweet tooth. It’s not really a sin. It just sort of feels that way. I was looking around for some frostings that I could put on a fresh batch of cinnamon rolls, and I found this cream cheese recipe that supposedly is the recipe that Cinnabon uses for their famous rolls. So I whipped it up really quick, spread it on the rolls, taste-tested one or two of them, and give the frosting two thumbs … way up!

Always good for a breakfast treat, or a quick brunch-type thing … hell … anytime really; these rolls will be sure to tantilize your taste buds and make you forget all about those 12 pounds you’re trying to loose. I mean, really; what’s the point of eating if you can’t enjoy it every now and then, right?

My own personal touch is to add a little bit too much brown sugar and a little too much cinnamon to the mix for that extra sweet taste that I’ve grown up with.
