I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
Last year, I threw together a batch of these cookies without really measuring any ingredients or thinking about it at all! I took them to a dinner with friends. My brother-in-law would not stop talking about how delicious they were, so this year I tried really hard to re-create what I had made last year. I had him sample the results, and he was very happy that I had re-captured the original magic.
Ever find yourself in a pinch where you just NEED brownies (I mean… NEED!) but you only have cocoa powder on hand? Do not despair!! I only had some lovely, rich, Dutch-process cocoa powder on hand the other day, when the need for brownies completely overcame me. Luckily, I came across this stellar recipe. I cannot recommend it highly enough. A little tweaking, and voila!! Deliciously rich, chewy, dark cocoa brownies. Enjoy!
I decided to clean out some goodies in my baking cabinet and throw them all into some cookies! These cookies are absolutely bursting with flavor. They are chewy, melty, soft, buttery and . . . well . . . just delicious!!
Looking for that perfectly balanced combination of savory, sweet, and snacky-licious? Well, you have met your match. Popcorn bark and pretzel bark are so easy to make – a wonderful kitchen project for kids – and satisfyingly balanced in their combination of sweet-and-savory goodness!
Well, dear readers, this is a *first* for me. I am loathe to share any recipes with you here that involve cake mixes, pudding mixes, and the like – even if they are doctored up quite a bit. I don’t know why, but I just tend to be of the mind that these creations cannot compare to a from-scratch style of cake.
With that disclaimer, I will tell you that the recipe I am about to share with you is a wonderful family recipe that comes to me from my aunt, through my lovely cousin, the Meat Lady. And I must admit, the cake she made for us was surprisingly delicious. It is moist. tender and flavorful, and the topping is absolutely to-die-for!
So without further ado, I give you . . . Devil’s Food Pound Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting!
