Sugar Cookies
This is the best sugar cookie dough ever! You can use this recipe for other shaped sugar cookies throughout the year for all occasions.

Sweet Potato Pie
There are those who favor sweet potato pie over pumpkin pie. I am one of them. This pie certainly gives pumpkin pie a run for its money.

Favorite Dressing
Favorite Dressing is one of the dressing recipes I make at Thanksgiving. If you don’t care for hot Italian sausage, then just substitute the mild sausage.

Springtime Bunny Cake
I made this cake many times with my daughter when she was growing up. It's easy and fun! I believe it was a Betty Crocker recipe, but I don't remember.

Cannoli
Cannoli were my favorite Italian bakery dessert in Chicago during the Lenten season. Cannoli are cheese stuffed pastries.

Cuccidati
Cuccidati are fig or date bars. They are beautiful on cookie trays during the holiday season. Cuccidati, also known as Italian fig cookies, are a traditional Sicilian treat typically prepared during the holiday season, especially for Christmas. They are filled with a mixture of dried figs, nuts, spices, and sometimes citrus zest, all encased in a sweet dough.

Peanut Butter Cornflake Cookies are a delicious, easy to make no-bake cookie using only five ingredients.

Ultimate Cheese Ball is our standard cheese ball for the holiday season! They make great gifts also.

Hot Mulled Cider, with its variety of spices, is a warming drink that is very popular during the cold winter months.
