Old Fashioned Mincemeat Gingerbread

Mincemeat gingerbread is a delightful combination of two holiday flavors that complement each other perfectly! OLD FASHIONED GINGERBREAD WITH A TWIST   Gingerbread and mincemeat are classic holiday flavors that bring back childhood memories. My twin sister shared a recipe many years ago combining these two holiday classics. Old Fashioned Mincemeat Gingerbread is a perfect treat to keep on hand during the holidays.   There are many variations of gingerbread, from dark, dense cakes made with molasses to light, delicate cakes made with brown sugar and ginger.   This recipe is dark and gingery, with robust mincemeat flavors.  Initially, the recipe was made using mincemeat packaged in a box, but they stopped selling it in boxes as the years went by.  I had to adjust the recipe when I started buying mincemeat in jars. I have shared both the box recipe and the jar recipe. It's wonderfully simple to make, and the batter comes together quickly.   For serving, a simple dust of powdered

As I am writing this blog post, I am thinking about the economy as it was in the 80's, as in comparison to today's economy. The unemployment rate was high, and jobs were also hard to find.

Jennifer's Signature Chocolate Cream Pie

Chocolate Cream Pie is a family favorite, creamy, dreamy delicious.  Pies can be fun to make and such an accomplishment when finished.   CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE This pie is simple to make with little fuss, yet has a rich and intense chocolate taste and is topped with sweetened whipped cream.

Fresh Apple Cake With Apple Cider Glaze

Fresh Apple Cake is made with three different variety of apples.  After using different kinds of apples in this recipe over the years, I have found that the Granny Smith apples work best along with Gala, Honey Crisp or Fuji. This Fresh Apple Cake screams fall to me. A friend of mine, Lynda Phillips, gave me this recipe as a newlywed in the early 70's.
