I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Best Gluten-Free Pie Crust
This gluten-free pie crust is easy to make from scratch using common ingredients. It's perfect for both sweet and savory pies. The trick is leaving large chunks of butter whole to create a flaky crust. The baked crust holds its shape well and delivers a nice slice of filled pie without falling apart.
Granny's Banana Bread
My Great-Grandma used to make this for us whenever we would spend the night at her cabin in Paris, Arkansas. I make it now for my kids and it brings back such wonderful memories! It's absolutely magnificent warm with some sweetened butter.
Elegant Coconut Bavarian Cream
A family recipe usually saved for special occasions, this looks beautiful served in wine or martini glasses. It has a rich taste with a light texture. I recommend starting early on this, as the dessert needs time to set in the refrigerator. Great for when the oven is occupied with other dishes!
