Raspberry Coffee Cake in the morning will start your day off to a fabulous start. Serve it anytime for dessert, an afternoon snack, or my favorite breakfast. RASPBERRY BREAKFAST CAKE The recipe is based on my Very Blueberry Coffee Cake, switching out with fresh raspberries, butter, sugar, eggs, and sour cream and sprinkled with a coarse finishing sugar. I grew up with something sweet on the table all the time because my mother had a charming sweet tooth, which she passed on to her four daughters. Mother was an amazing baker. Even though I learned from her, I wish I had written down more of her recipes and paid more attention when she baked.

Mama's Southern Baked Beans
Thick and rich with just the right amount of sweetness, these baked beans are a perfect side dish for whatever you cook up for your next gathering. CLASSIC SOUTHERN BAKED BEANS Mother's easy to make baked beans are just that, EASY. This classic dish has canned pork n' beans, onions, bell pepper, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire, and the star, Bacon. I could not post my mother's Potato Salad recipe (previous post) without posting her Southern Baked Beans recipe, also. Like the potato salad recipe, I have had this one in my head for years too. I watched my mother make her potato salad and baked beans a gazillion times, and I don't remember her making one without the other, but I suspect that there were times when she did. I know what the ingredients are in her baked beans, but I am not sure about the exact amount of the ingredients each time.

As you see, these rolls are amazing plain, but to give them an additional gooeyness, I iced them with a rich buttery, vanilla icing. A thin coat gives them a glorious shine and divine gooeyness. If you can't resist these sweet rolls, just take a look at these...
Christmas Tea Cakes
Christmas Tea Cakes are festive tea cakes that are super easy to make with few ingredients, including two cake mixes. Holiday Mincemeat Tea Cakes This is the perfect recipe to use extra cake mixes you have on hand. This recipe was inspired by all the cookie recipes that use cake mixes. Another secret ingredient that is classic around the holidays is mincemeat pie filling. You will love the Holiday Mincemeat Tea Cakes if you love mincemeat pie. I know there are some yays and nays when mincemeat is mentioned. Growing up in the 60s, my family always had mincemeat pie during the holidays. Mincemeat is a sweet concoction of dried fruit, spices, dark brown sugar, nuts, and beef. When I saw a jar of None Such Mincemeat pie filling in my cabinet, I wanted to try to make a cookie with some cake mixes I needed to use.

In years since, the original recipe, which consisted of apples, celery, and mayonnaise, has taken on more additions.
