Vanilla Creme Brûlée
This recipe from NY Times Serves 4 My dad LOVES Creme Brûlée so for his 86th birthday I decided to try my hand at making it. I have made custard pies, caramel custards and flans before so I figured I wouldn’t have a hard time. This was easy peasy. And, it turned out great. Needless to say, my dad was thrilled. This recipe makes 4 generous servings so if you want to divide it into smaller ramekins that would be OK. You might have to adjust your baking time a little. Enj

Grandma Lil's Chocolate Drop Cookies
Grandma Lil’s Chocolate Drop Cookies Makes about 4 dozen I grew up eating these cookies. My mom didn’t bake often – but this is one cookie she did make, maybe because they were a favorite of my Dad’s. His mom made them when he and siblings were growing up. They were always a favorite of mine too. Cake-like and tender-I think they are the perfect cookie for any time of day. Enjoy.

Vanilla Poundcake
My mother bakes the best poundcake – it is my favorite, but it makes a big cake. I wanted to try this cake because it makes a small, loaf-size cake. It is dense and flavorful just the way poundcake should be. It is perfect on its own or with some fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy. Ingredients 1 cup, 2 sticks, unsalted butter – room temperature* 1 cup sugar 4 large eggs, room temperature 1 TBSP vanilla extract ½ tsp. salt 2 cups flour, spooned gently into me

Very Best Chocolate Cake
I have been making this chocolate cake for over 35 years – it came from a newspaper, probably our local one. The newspaper clipping is yellowed, torn and stained. And I still agree with the title, it is the very best chocolate cake. I always requested a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for my birthdays when I was little – so did my daughter. Now her oldest daughter does too. This cake has stood the testament of time. I think you will approve. Enjoy. Ingredients 3

Ice Cream Sundae Cupcake Cones
I love to take special requests from loved ones, especially when they come from my grandchildren. My oldest granddaughter, Liesl, turned 6 on December 9th.

Looking for something fun? Give this a try. Enjoy. Ingredients (recipe courtesy of Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice) 1½
