Old Fashioned Pancakes

This is my favorite pancake recipe. My boys always tell me how good they are!

These are Mom’s spicy meatballs, as best as she remembered. You can adjust the spiciness to suite your tastes. I usually use 5-6 jalapeno’s, sliced, and 3-4 habenero’s quartered with the membrane’s and seeds removed from half.

Anna’s Spritz Cookies

This is mom’s recipe for spritz cookies. I have it in my recipe box in Barbie’s elementary school cursive. So cute!

Cowboy Cookies

This is a recipe mom got from Mrs. Verdone, our neighbor, when we lived in Milton. These cookies were always a favorite and didn’t last long in our house!

Anna’s Streusel Recipe

Here’s the recipe mom always used to make streussel. And she was the best at making it! It was always sooo good.

These old recipes call for margarine. Today I always use butter. The recipe says to pat out to the size of a saucer, but I think it needs to be larger. Sometimes mom put colored nonpareils on the glaze when it was still wet for a little extra fun.

Anna’s Cream Puff Recipe

This is mom’s recipe for cream puff shells. They are surprisingly easy to make. I usually fill them with vanilla pudding and frost with chocolate glaze. Enjoy! Linda

Linda’s Swedish Apple Pie

This is very good, easy to make, and has long been a favorite in my family.It is so good with vanilla ice cream. I use more cinnamon than the recipe calls for because we like it that way.

Banana Bread

You can substitute chocolate bits, cranberries, blueberries or chopped apple for the nuts.

If you don’t have enough bananas, replace the missing moisture with applesauce

Chocolate Bit Cake a/k/a Cake that makes you sneeze

I found the recipe in a book of random recipes that I took when we cleaned out Mum’s apartment recently. I made the recipe today but made cupcakes so Aiden and Livy could decorate them…I notice there is no Baking Powder in the recipe and am not sure if it is needed. Also, the recipe does not say when to add the chocolate so I alternated with the dry ingredients. The cupcakes tasted good. Would someone else try this recipe and let me know what they think…Does it require baking powder, etc…? I wonder if Mum wrote this from memory as it isn’t on one of her old recipe cards..so some things could be missing

Whoopie Pies

I don’t a recipe for the filling so, if you have or find one please add it to the recipe.
