Christmas Cake
This festive Christmas cake is made with dried fruits and candied citrus peel soaked in brandy to add flavor and make a rich, moist fruitcake for Christmas. Delicious as-is or cover it with almond paste and royal icing. I remember my mother storing her fruitcake in an old butter churn that belonged to my grandmother and great-grandmother... I wish I still had that old crock!
Easy, Cheesy Tortellini Bake
This is such an easy cheesy tortellini bake, but it looks and smells great and tastes even better! Your guests will think you spent hours on it. You can add cooked Italian sausage, too! Great with a salad and garlic bread.
Mushroom Veggie Burger
These vegetarian mushroom burgers are as close as I've ever gotten to delicious meatless burgers. Mushrooms really give them a meaty flavor. I like to serve them on fresh hamburger rolls with spicy mayonnaise and a little lettuce.
