    Halloween Carrot Cake

    Are you my Mummy? I substituted all of the oil with home made applesauce and used 1/3 less fat cream cheese in the frosting. Even though it was reduced calorie I was really surprised by just how moist it was. It was delicious! Ingredients * 4 eggs * 1 1/4 cups applesauce * 2 cups...

    Skillet Pizza

    So yeah, I shamelessly admit that I cheated this time. I used store bought refrigerated pizza crust. I also used store bought pizza sauce and not anything fancy and high falutin' either. It was Giant Eagle brand. You want to know what else? It was good. Ingredients *1 can of refrigerated pizza...

    Pumpkin Bread

    This bread is very easy to make. It's pretty much the same thing as banana bread replacing the bananas with pumpkin. It was really good and everyone enjoyed it. My son, the pumpkin connoisseur did give his honest opinion that he thought it needed more spice. I didn't think so myself...

    Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I cut the following recipe in half because it was just the three of us eating them. If I were taking them somewhere I would use the whole recipe as they will go fast! Wait until they are mostly cool before eating so that they have time to fall back down and the chips can harden, otherwise you...

    Pie Filling Thickener

    I am having an issue with runny pie filling and am confused as to what the best thickener would be. There are many differing opinions such as tapioca, cornstarch and flour. What do you prefer and why? Thanks!

    Chocolate Brownies

    I found this recipe on allrecipes and they were super easy to make, my son made most of the recipe. There is no softening of butter and they are made all in one pan. They are also virtually foolproof. Typically if you over mix brownies they will get cakey. Cakey brownies are not my favorite...

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients * 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour * 2 teaspoons baking soda * 2 cups butter, softened * 1 1/2 cups packed...

    Apple Butter Yams

    My family isn't sick of apple butter yet! This was a great variation on the traditional sweet potato casserole. It was sweet but not too sweet and everyone loved it. Next time though I will make two changes. The first is that I will use sweet potatoes because I prefer their stringy texture. The...

    Country Fried Steak

    The only problem was that I couldn't find lard in my grocery store and had to use Crisco instead. Ended up with next to no pan drippings for the gravy and had to melt some butter instead. It was still yummy though.

This has me thinking about the quality of the spices that I am using. In the past and up until present I have just always bought...

    Hi, my name is Annie and I live in Pittsburgh,Pa. I have always loved to bake. It runs in my family. My baking role models were my Aunt Caroline and my late Grandmother who were always in their kitchens making homemade biscuits or apple butter. They never measured anything and used a "pinch" of...
