I decided the other day that since I had spent the money on a jelly roll pan when I was making numerous Pumpkin Rolls that I really needed to find other uses for it. Making a Jelly Roll sounded perfect.
And Yes I will share how to make a pumpkin roll later, but you might be sorry, they are addictive.
In typical fashion I can justify most things, even Jelly Rolls; it’s the perfect breakfast food. It has eggs, flour and jelly. Sounds like breakfast to me!
Christmas celebrations consists of good friends, family, and food…lots and lots of food. Which is why we gain weight during the holidays. Who can resist all those holiday goodies?
This recipe comes to us from our free download on the right. I plan on trying out quite a few of these recipes this holiday season…so be sure and look for the blimp hovering over Michigan after January 1.
Happy Holidays from our family.
CLASSIC CHRISTMAS CAKE

My husband has got the cooking bug again…happens every few weeks, which is why I have a hard time taking weight off. At least that is the excuse I use regularly, I just blame it on him and not the fact that I can’t stop eating the stuff he bakes or that he is so good at baking.
This recipe is one of his better ones. Again where he got it, I don’t know. I only know the results are delicious!

When I saw this recipe at Cooking.com, I was taken back to the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen during the holidays as a child. Baked bread, cookies, pies, cakes and then the smell of Turkey and all the trimmings. I get hungry just thinking about those smells.
My mother made a cake very similar to this only she used Pumpkin Pie spice in place of the spices listed. She usually made it a couple of days before the holiday and kept in the refrigerator. She took it out the night before to make sure it was a room temperature the next morning.

Zucchini, Zucchini…I think I planted too much of it…again! Last year we ate Zucchini bread until we were sick of it, but I still planted more.
So this year in addition to the “normal” recipes of frying, grilling, baking (especially good if you use it like you would Eggplant Parmesan, but that is another recipe), or just slicing and putting it into a salad, I decided I would try something new. Since my love of food includes all things chocolate I decided to try this recipe. I have only one thing to say..it is a hit!

I have never had quite the success that he has with cakes, cookies, ice cream, any dessert you name he can cook to perfection. He was kind enough to share with me some of his secrets to successful baking.
