Mom’s Dreamy Chocolate Cake

“My mom used to make this cake all the time from memory when I was a little girl. I remember asking her where her recipe was and her reply was I don’t have one, I just dreamed it up… Then she would give me a big smile and a kiss on the forehead.” – Penny

Georgia Cornbread Cake

“I learned how to make this wonderfully delightful little Georgia cornbread cake when I was cooking at a small restaurant many years ago. It is so addictive! Don’t let the name fool ya. It’s not really cornbread, but a sweet and nutty cake that kind of resembles cornbread, hence the name. I serve it plain, but some people serve it with a caramel sauce drizzled over it.” – Millie

Grandme’s Sweet Dreamy Bars

Late Night Caramel Apple Bread Pudding

“I have insomnia off and on and one night when I was up til the wee hours, I figured I would get some of my cookbooks out and see what I could find to make. I came across a caramel apple bread pudding recipe that sounded so good and I just happened to have all the ingredients. So, I went to work and this was the end result with just a tweak here and there to make it my own. I of course had to eat some while it was still warm just to make sure it was fit for the family the next morning and it passed with flying colors. An awesome Sunday morning breakfast, lunch, and dinner.” – Jan

Now I’ve passed this delicious family recipe down to my daughters, who are my sous chefs in the kitchen!” – Cheryl

German Chocolate Upside-Down Cake

“Oh, this is an ooey-gooey delight, with a rich, chocolate POW! And it’s ridiculously easy to make. I make my cake from scratch, ’cause that’s how I roll, but I’ve given the directions for a cake mix. Either way, this is a fabulous no-fail dessert.” – Tam

“This cake is loaded with cream cheese. If you love cream cheese, you love this cake.” – Dawn

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Bar

Amanda Coon whose recipe for her Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies has become a favorite. And to Mrs. D whose recipe for Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups is another favorite that people ask me for time and time again. I’ve made this recipe twice and now have to share the recipe with others. Thank you ladies for your great recipes.” – Mary
