Like a butter cookie rolled in nuts with jam in the center. I make these every Christmas to give to relatives and friends. They all love this cookie! For even more flavorful cookies, try using almond extract instead of the vanilla.

Honey Bun Cake from Scratch
I combined two recipes to get a homemade cake. Always get rave reviews when I make it. Drizzle vanilla glaze over the cake while warm.
Easy Crustless Quiche
This crustless quiche recipe makes a very rich, cheesy, and low-carb meal without the fuss of making a crust! The ratio of egg to cream can be customized to your personal choice and the cheese can easily be replaced with any hard shredded cheese such as Swiss, Cheddar, Gouda, or provolone.

Your basic buttery poppy seed muffin -- with a twist! Succulent confections with mounds of oats, raisins, and poppy seeds. This is great for the winter because of the high oven temperature! Serve warm, plain or with marmalade.
