Your kids won't believe it is good for them.

Baklava  The traditional Greek pastry is a bit of work, but nice for special occasions.

end up with a creamy delicious dessert.

Banana Pudding Delight  This is simple, made with vanilla wafers, it's a good way to get
the kids to have some fruit after dinner.

Bananas Foster  Quite the rage in upscale restaurants in the 80's this dessert is
worth revisiting.  My kids go nuts over this and it makes a fairly simple, but
elegant end to a dinner party.

Black Walnut Pie  An old-fashioned recipe that is simple, but a stunning dessert.

Blancmange  A scratch vanilla pudding made with cornstarch.  Top notch comfort food.

Blueberry Cherry Crisp  A dessert to have without guilt.

Cakes  The dessert page was getting a little crowded so I have moved all the
cake recipes to a section of their own.  Find all different kinds of unusual and
vintage cake recipes in this section.

Caramel Apple Salad  If you make this just once, you will make it over and over again.
It is the hit of every pot luck.

Cherry Yum Yum   This is a very simple make ahead dessert that would be
great to take to a potluck dinner.

Chocolate Cheese Fritters  A stunning finish to an elegant dinner, or a fun snack
for a teenagers party, these can't fail to please.

Chocolate Cornstarch Pudding  A nice scratch recipe for pudding.  Lots of stirring, but
worth it.

Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake  This is a very decadent cheesecake that is simple
and can be made a day ahead. 

Cindi's Peach Crumble  This is an easy recipe for peach season from my friend Cindi.

Coconut Apples with Caramel Sauce  This innovative dessert recipe calls to serve
6, but can be adjusted easily to serve fewer or more people. 

Cranberry Nut Pie  Very simple, with no separate crust.  An easy take along dessert
if you are having a holiday dinner at somebody else's home.

side pound cake or ice cream or just by themselves.  You will be the talk of
the town after serving this unusual dish.

in on the grill or in the oven.

do it once and the kids just love making them.

some of the ingredients.  The kids love making these also.

key lime juice in your supermarket, just substitute regular lime juice.

our mystery shoppers.

juice.

such as lime, orange or grapefruit.  Choose the least expensive or
whatever you have in abundance.

Lemon Sorbet   Fairly easy to make ahead, this can be used between
courses of a formal dinner or a light dessert after a heavy meal.  It's so
much better than purchased sorbet.  If you want lime, orange or
grapefruit sorbet just change the fruit.

Million Dollar Pie  We can thank Leslie for this easy and  delicious
pie, anyone can make this.

desserts for holidays.
