 | Coffee Can Pumpkin Bread Back in the '70's when I was still in high school, my sister's neighbor swore me to secrecy when he gave me this recipe for pumpkin bread. It was, and still is, the best pumpkin bread I have ever had. We baked it in coffee cans back then and I still do now, but occasionally I will bake it in mini-loaf pans as well. I have since seen similar recipes on the Internet, so I guess the cat is out of the bag... |
 | Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread My mother-in-law gave me this recipe almost 30 years ago. It was the first time I had tasted zucchini bread and, to this day, it is the only recipe I have ever used. Around the holidays, I like to wrap a loaf in cellophane, tie it with a ribbon and give it as a gift. |
 | Chocolate Cake with Fudge Frosting I originally made this cake with a peanut butter frosting and it is really good. But then I found this fudge frosting recipe and combined with this cake it was fabulous! This is the most requested item to make for work. |
 | 18 Carrot Snack Cake Need just a little cake? Here, I adapted an old recipe for carrot cake to make just an 8" sized cake. I actually counted out 18 mini carrots, just so I could call it an 18 carrot cake! |
 | Peach Schnapps Cake Sometimes you just need to make something out of a box. I don't remember where the recipe came from, but the end result is really good. WARNING: Plan on taking it somewhere else as soon as you have made it---don't put yourself in the position of being left alone with this cake. |
 | My Favorite Coffee Cake This coffee cake recipe has been in the family for years. I often take great liberties with it by swapping out ingredients. Try changing the flavors of the cake mix and the pudding, or swirl in some chocolate syrup instead of cinnamon/sugar. However you change it up, it will be sure to please! |
 | Orange Scented Sweet Potato Pound Cake I was on a mission to find new and different ways to use my beloved sweet potatoes. Here I made a delicious light and moist sweet potato pound cake with hints of orange, ginger and cardamom.....perfect for Spring! |
 | "Holy Moly Guacamole" Avocado Cupcakes Who knew that combining an avocado and a lemon cake mix could be so delicious?!! |
 | Toffee-Banana Bread I'm not entirely fond of everyday banana bread, so I tend to monkey around (pun intended) with the recipes. Here, I added some chocolate covered toffee chips....yummy! |
 | Chocolate-Pumpkin Cupcakes I found a fabulous 4-layer chocolate pumpkin cake recipe that wowed everyone. Here, I made the cake into cupcakes, added a buttercream frosting and topped it with a little candy corn. Very cute. Very tasty. |
 | Red Velvet Cupcakes My MIL asked me to make these many weeks ago and I finally got to it. I searched the Internet and combined what I thought sounded best. In the end, I topped them with a buttercream frosting, but a nice cream cheese frosting would be good, too. |
 | Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting My husband and I have always loved those frozen Sarah Lee banana cakes. They disappeared for a long time, and though I do see them in the stores again, this recipe is even better. I know this because my husband said so. :) |
 | Pineapple Muffins with Coconut Streusel I just love the pineapple flavored Greek yogurt and was pretty sure it would make a tasty muffin. I was right! |
