This is the best cake! Mom used to make this margarine cake all the time when we were growing up. I searched and searched for this recipe on the web, but I never did find it. Luckily, I found a scrap of paper with the instructions scribbled on it.

Pear Clafoutis
It sounds odd to say that a recipe's biggest problem is that it looks too good, but that's the case with this pear clafoutis, a crustless custard fruit tart that often looks a lot sweeter and richer than it actually is. Usually made with cherries, this rustic French dessert adapts easily to any kind of seasonal fruit. If desired, brush the top with warmed fruit preserves and honey and garnish with whipped cream, creme fraiche, or ice cream.

Chicken Cacciatore Sandwich
This chicken cacciatore sandwich is one of my favorite dishes to cook. You'll love all the flavors and the crunch of the toasted bread. Recipe doubles easily and freezes well. Enjoy!
