Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing. It is a rather nostalgic dessert as it reminds me a little of an orange push-up ice cream treat from my childhood. Plus, it is a molded gelatin dessert, which always reminds me of the past. As with other gelatin and fruit dishes, someone might call this a "Jello salad" in the United States. However, this recipe uses an entire quart of orange sherbert in addition to gelatin, so I can not bring myself … Continue Reading about Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert
Servatii’s Christmas Yule Log
One great Christmas tradition is to have a Yule Log as a Christmas treat. I have made them in the past, but mine were just average in taste and never looked nearly as good as the ones from Servatii’s Pastry Shop and Deli in Cincinnati, Ohio. I imagine they never tasted as good either. Servatii’s […]
Yummy Honey Brown Sugar Ham
I love this honey, brown sugar coated ham. In fact, I think my daughter and I love it almost as much as Winnie the Pooh loves honey. Even my husband eats this ham,and he does not like ham! This ham is not only very yummy, it is also much cheaper to make than the spiral […]

Another Spoiler Alert: If you know me, you may see your Christmas present ahead. My husband’s aunt made wonderful filled chocolate candies. She would give them as Christmas presents every year.

Grace’s Old Fashioned Lemon Crackers
Christmas would just not be the same for me with out having these crackers/cookies. They have been a traditional Christmas “cookie” for generations. In fact, I know that they have been made for more 100 years in my family. However, it is not so much the actual cracker/cookie that is so precious me as the […]
Do You Have Baker’s Ammonia?
Growing up, my mom bought Baker’s Ammonia every year before her holiday baking season began from our local pharmacy. When I was an adult, that pharmacy went out of business, but we found it at other pharmacies. Heck, we even found it at a large discount retail chain pharmacy. It did become much harder to […]
Lehman’s Anniversary Cookbook
I could not wait to share what a terrific collection of recipes I found when I purchased 55 Years and Still Cookin’: Lehman’s Anniversary Cookbook on sale. The cookbook is from one of my favorite stores, Lehman’s in Kidron, Ohio. Kidron is located in Ohio’s Amish Country, an area known to have great food. This […]

Delicious Electric Skillet Fudge
There is no better sweet to me than good peanut butter fudge. However, I must admit that I am something of a peanut butter fudge snob. There are many peanut butter fudges sold in stores and market stands that I do not think taste good. To me, a good peanut butter fudge is smooth, creamy […]
Homemade Gingerbread Men
I will confess that making gingerbread men from scratch has been something that never turned out well for me..before now. In fact, I usually buy our gingerbread cookie in a roll in the refrigerator section and just have fun cutting them out and decorating them with my daughter. This year, I decided to try making […]
