This is a delicious and lovely fall cake that features pears. Upside-down cakes are wonderful, because they are very easy to make and at the same time look like they were made by a master chef.

If you have never used cardamom in a recipe before, I encourage you to give this recipe a chance as the cardamom in it is subtle but really enhances the flavor of the cake. If you love pears and the taste

This terrific recipe comes from the Sept./Oct. 2017 issue of Midwest Living magazine. Nothing celebrates October like bratwurst, and this recipe is a perfect way to welcome autumn.

I know I will be making this wonderful meal for years to come, and I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I do.

I made this flavorful dish for the first time last week. It was so delicious that I had to include the recipe in my blog. I found this gem in the May 2017 edition of Southern Living Magazine. The one pound of multicolored sweet peppers really caught my eye. You see...I have a garden full of sweet peppers, and I am constantly looking for ways to use them in recipes. This recipe is yummy and also lets me use peppers from my garden. As a bonus, I also love pasta. It seeme

I have been making this pie for over 25 years. I believe that I clipped this recipe from a magazine in the late 80s. I don't remember which magazine now.
