Mom’s Chili Recipe
Mom’s Chili Recipe Pin me! – Pinterest Watch me! – YouTube (coming soon) The temperature has practically dropped over night here in Central Pennsylvania. It’s time to take out the air conditioners and make sure the furnace is ready for winter. It must have been pretty chilly, pun intended, in the house this morning because my husband turned on the heat before leaving for work. I think turning on the heat would have been more effective if he would have remembered to close the windows upstairs, but I won’t get into that right now. #men. With the cooler weather comes soup and crockpot season. I thought I’d start things off…

White Mountain Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
White Mountain Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting I’m a little behind this month so thankfully I found this recipe that I had never posted this past summer. This recipe is for White Mountain Cake. This cake is very special for me for two reasons. Firstly, this cake recipe comes from a long time family friend who passed away a few years ago. His name was John but everyone called him Jack. He suffered from a stroke when I was a teenager and I’d go to visit him in the nursing home often. I’d always sneak in a coffee and donuts. The stroke had left him unable to speak correctly.…

Lemon Blueberry Crumb Cake
Memories of Nana When my Nana passed away, she left me all of her recipes. These ranged from cookbooks to handwritten cards with notes on the back which are so exciting to read. These recipes are very special to me. I love that when I open them, they still smell like her house. It makes me feel like even though she has passed, she’s still with me in the kitchen. Every time I open the recipes I can still see my Nana walking around the kitchen in her Clark’s slippers. There are so many things that I still remember about her. The way she’d wave her neatly manicured hands in…

Homemade Crescent Rolls
Homemade Crescent Rolls I grew up eating these Homemade Crescent Rolls every year on the Holidays. My mom would make them for our Christmas eve party. I remember going to bed excited for all the Christmas festivities to begin while the smell of yeast lingered in the air. Oh how they left such a lovely scent. Even now, to this day, when I smell them baking it takes me back to my childhood slopping every last bit of my mash potatoes and gravy up with one of these delicious homemade crescent rolls. Forming the Crescents: I am going to show you how to shape these Homemade Crescent Rolls. I tend…

This time with lots of Banana Whoopie pie cake! This banana whoopie pie cake is everything I dreamed…

Chocolate Whoopie Pie Cake
Chocolate Whoopie Pie Cake (This is a recipe my mother found in an old church cookbook when I was a child and she has been using it ever since) If you are a fan of whoopie pies, like me, but not a fan of making them, then you are going to love this recipe. This Chocolate Whoopie Pie Cake is so easy to make and only bakes for about 15 minutes. The hardest part about making one of these cakes is flipping the one cake on top of the other. You have to wait until both cakes are cooled then spread the icing on one cake and flip the other…

(Cake Box Recipe) S’mores Bundt Cake
(Cake Box Recipe) S’mores Bundt Cake Cake box recipes are so fun! I love them and I make a lot of them. My (Cake Box Recipe) S’mores Bundt cake is super easy to make. It tastes just as fantastic as it looks! It is a moist and fluffy cake topped to resemble an S’more. And you will love the simplicity of this recipe. I think the hardest part was making the ganache, and if you have ever made ganache, you know that’s a cinch. Basically, it is just equal parts of cream and chocolate, easy peasy. Your guests will seriously think you spent all day in the kitchen. And I…
