Roasted-Vegetable Stock
This delicious stock has a depth of flavor that comes from roasting the vegetables. Use whatever vegetables you have on hand, but avoid anything too strongly flavored, such as broccoli or cabbage, as they will overwhelm the stock.
Carry Cake with Strawberries and Whipped Cream
This recipe has been in my mother's family for over 100 years. In fact, the tube cake pan I use is my grandmother's, which she bought in the 1930s. I jazzed it up with the strawberries and whipped cream. My grandkids go crazy for this rendition of strawberry shortcake served with vanilla ice cream.
White Almond Wedding Cake
A wonderful white wedding cake recipe. The secret ingredient of sour cream makes this cake so moist, dense, and delicious. I use this recipe for my kids' birthdays, but it's a favorite for wedding cakes, too. This recipe can easily be doubled.
