Rich Dark Fruitcake
This is my mother's very old recipe, at least 60 years old. My mother baked this for my wedding, and it sure is delicious and also a great Christmas cake. This is a very long recipe, but well worth the trouble. You can substitute a cup of drained maraschino cherries for the candied cherries, if you like.
Decadent Cinnamon Roll Peach Cobbler
This peach cobbler is easy to make and very decadent. The use of store-bought cinnamon rolls makes it even faster to make. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Colonial Pumpkin Bars
Vanilla frosted pumpkin bars with walnuts are the best! These can also be frozen with or without the frosting, for later use.
