Cranberry Orange Scones – Recipe

Even if you are not a huge fan of scones, you will LOVE this recipe.

I made a batch of healthful scones a while back using a skinny recipe.  They were tasteful, but not as moist and flaky as these Cranberry Orange Scones.

Jewish Apple Cake – Recipe

Rosh Hashanah means “Head of the Year” in Hebrew, hence a New Year celebration.

I extend my warm wishes of happiness, health, and prosperity to all my friends who celebrate this holiday.

Jello Gem Cream Roll – Donna’s Recipe

My sister-in-law shared this Jello Gem Cream Roll recipe, but I slightly changed the filling instructions.  She used one flavor of jello which was not fully set yet, to sweeten and add color to her whipped cream filling.  I chose to use 3 different jello flavors, let each fully set, then cut them into small “gems” and gently fold them into the whipped cream to create the mosaic effect.

Strawberry Napoleon Dessert – Recipe

I love the creaminess of the custard filling in a Napoleon dessert, the flakiness of the pastry layers, and the sweetness of the glazed top, accented with dark chocolate.

It was an easy project, thanks to Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough, instant pudding mix, my home grown strawberries, and fresh whipped cream.

Honey Cake Maria – Family Recipe

I am very lucky to be surrounded by many excellent bakers in my and my husband’s side of the family, who also love to share their recipes.

I have been baking honey cakes for a very long time now, and love them all, but this one is even lighter in texture and consists of other special ingredients, hence the recipe for Honey Cake Maria.
