Peach Amaretto Upside-Down Cake
This recipe is for a peach upside-down cake with in an amaretto topping.
Jalapeno-Bacon Stuffing
This is a side dish that goes great with turkey and is 100 times better than a "stovetop stuffing." If you take it to a potluck dinner you will be forever doomed to repeat the same dish forever...they demand it year after year. The jalapenos are the key; I chop them very fine. I have used up to 6 tablespoons, but 4 seems about perfect.
Barbadian Plain Cake
This Barbadian plain cake is a simple pound cake that's good with a cup of tea. My grandmother, Gladys Payne Gittens, came here from Barbados in about 1906. She read this recipe to me over the phone when I was in law school in 1978. Thanks to my friend Elayne, the Soulful Yenta, to whom I gave a copy, I was able to find this on Mother's Day.
