Tonight’s recipe is so easy! Using the other half of the cake mix I made the orange/dark chocolate cake roll box, I made 40 stellar petit fours. The best part, besides them tasting really great, it was not labor intensive and may be accomplished in steps on different days. Easy, tasty and pretty – what…
Holidays
Orange Dark Chocolate Cake Roll
I was going to make my white fruit cakes this weekend but the weather had other plans. It started sleeting Thursday about noon and took my daughter and me 2 and ½ hours to drive the 25 miles home from work that evening. Work was called off the next day and Monday is not looking…
No Mess Hot Wings
Do you like hot wings but do not like the sticky wetness of it all? That’s how I am because there is nothing I hate worse than getting my fingers and hands messy but I do love the taste of chicken wings. I have spent the better part of the last two years trying to…
Nana’s Pimento Cheese and Ham Biscuits
The ham we had for Thanksgiving was so tasty there wasn’t much left – just enough for 1 night of leftovers and then just a tad. I almost threw it out but I decided to throw it in the food processor and mince it up for 2 different recipes. I was inspired to make this…
Hello Dolly Treats
Have you had enough pumpkin and cranberry to last a full year? Me too. The hoopla of the day is over and things are calm once again. I have been wanting something coconut lately but there is no one who will indulge in that with me except my mother. Yesterday as I was preparing most…

No Bake Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
This is the recipe I read about in last Wednesday’s newspaper that introduced me to the Jell-O Pumpkin Instant Pudding Mix. Although I changed the recipe some because originally written it was far too sweet, I like it. To give credit, I read it on Melba’s Swap Shop column. Melba said the recipe was shared…
Pumpkin Pudding Poke Cake
I love a good poke cake and while this season is not exactly the time for a summery slice, I have found a way to enjoy one and I want to share it with you! Are you familiar with the seasonal release of the Kraft Jell-O favorite Pumpkin Pudding? I was not until Wednesday when…
Strawberry Cheese Cake Crescent Bars
Each Wednesday in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper the is a long-running column called Melba’s Swap Shop. I guess Melba has been running the column for a very long time. I have seen recipe booklets titled Melba’s Swap Shop with different volume numbers. All the recipes are from home cooks throughout out state. Last week, I…
Cranberry Fluff
I wonder if everyone has a family fruit salad recipe that it just would not be the holidays without. Our family does and it is called cranberry fluff. I used to hate it when I was a kid but now it just would not be Thanksgiving if I didn’t have a spoonful or more. It…
