Spaghetti Carbonara I
This is a favorite supper dish that's quick and easy to make. I double it for our family of 4 growing boys. We serve it all up and then add on the goodies that are left in the bottom of the bowl - there's always bacon and eggs left down there.
Pecan Sour Cream Pound Cake
I won first place with this pecan sour cream pound cake at the Cuyahoga County Fair (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1993. For a nuttier variation, you can substitute 1 cup of the flour with 1 cup of ground pecans.
Espresso Bundt Cake
This espresso Bundt cake is rich, dark, and chocolaty with a lovely espresso undertone. Don't skip out on the cream cheese-espresso icing—it really takes it to the next level!
