Pumpkin Spice Cake with Candied Pecans
Soon after I was married, my mother-in-law made a cookbook for our family. It is more than 27 years later and I still have not made everything in that book. And now she is gone and I cannot call her when I am making a new recipe from her book, that I haven't tried...
Irish Dingle Pie

Fry Bread
Growing up, the best part of my mom making jam, was that we would get to eat the fresh jam on hot fry bread after dinner. Now that I am a mom, I have NO idea HOW my mom had it in here to make fry bread after canning jam, but it did happen from time to time. In the...
