Amazing Homemade Fresh LEMON CURD With Yolks
Homemade lemon curd. This recipe came about when we happily found ourselves with a double bag of lemons and half a dozen yolks leftover from a previous baking project. I wanted a curd that used up my excess yolks and not whole eggs. The deliciousness that was born from this was amazing!

Maple Pecan baked brie has been a go to appetizer since the first time I made it. It’s wonderful, not to mention wonderfully easy. Even back when the idea of making an appetizer would throw me into a cold sweat, this maple pecan brie stepped up to save the day time and again.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cookie House
I like to have fun with all sorts of cookie houses. I have long since moved on from only classical gingerbread houses to other combinations. And today’s winning combination is chocolate and peanut butter!
No Fail Orange Buttermilk Loaf
We call this orange bread. And it’s delicious! It’s like a pound cake, with the most wonderfully dense centre and incredible crust. Any citrus -buttermilk combo will work, but I am particularly partial to orange. Which I think says a lot about this particular loaf, because I am almost never partial to orange.

Amazing Italian Plum and Almond Long Loaf
So try not to gasp out loud, but I do not really care for the famed Italian plum tart. I have tried several recipes from reputable and trusted sources. I really tried. Promise. But they often tasted either plain or soggy. I fully accept that I may be the problem. But it is a problem that brought me to this Italian plum and almond loaf, so I can’t be too hard on myself!

Easy Chocolate Brownie Trifle with Skor Bits
This chocolate trifle recipe was given to me verbally by a friend years ago. Enough time has passed that I can’t actually recall if the way I make it now was the original directions or how I’ve adapted it over the years. Either way it is a yummy dessert with layers of brownie, chocolate mousse and whipped cream with Skor bar through out. This is one easy dessert. There are a couple steps, but not a lot of baking or skill required.

Great Grandma Florence’s Memorable Shortbread
Shortbread is one of those staple recipes that have very few ingredients, but does not always make for an easy recipe. However I think Great Grandma might just have found a way to make it successful every time.
This recipe is not just memorable, but both easy and simple. Not to mention delicious. I suspect it is the addition of rice flour and not just the use of all purpose flour that helps make for the delicate crumb and consistency.
