Not sure where this brown sugar cake recipe came from. My mom passed it to me many years ago. We use it as a great holiday favorite, but I usually sneak it in a couple of times a year. It's a great treat to bring to a party or work. The brown sugar and almond extract give it a distinctive taste.

Creamiest Chocolate Mousse
This is one of the best chocolate mousses I've ever tried. It's so creamy (o.k. probably extremely fattening but holiday calories never count, do they?)I personally make the mousse without any alcohol added. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for an extra special effect.
Caramel Popcorn with Marshmallow
This caramel popcorn with marshmallow recipe helps popcorn stay soft and yummy! Leftover caramel can be refrigerated and used later if warmed in the microwave.
Indian Saffron Rice
Indian saffron is darker and richer in red-orange color than Spanish or Italian saffron, giving rice a better flavor. You should always steep the saffron in hot water ahead of time and use part of the liquid in your recipe. This rice recipe is prepared in the Indian manner.
