Champagne Cake
Vallejo’s Home Bakery Copy Cat Champagne Cake Original Home Bakery Champagne Cake My version of Home Bakery’s Champagne Cake As I reminisce about the celebrations of my youth, I distinctly remember the first time I realized there was such a thing as a business that only sold special cakes, cookies, pies, and other deserts; deserts that were far superior to the frozen or grocery store kind. Beautiful cakes & deserts displayed behind glass, with lights illuminating the artful, sweet creations. Cakes meant for celebrations and special occasions, what a concept! lol. Up until this point, my Mom or Aunts would make our special deserts for holiday’s or birthdays, always beautiful…

Minestrone
   What is better than a piping hot bowl of really good soup on a rainy, and cold winter’s day? A piece of crusty French bread to go with it!       Simmering all day on the stove, waiting to be ladled up to my family as they make their way home from work or school. One of our family’s favorite soups is a classic Minestrone. Loaded with lots of vegetables, hearty pasta, and delicious broth, It always hits the spot on days like today. It’s easy to make, delicious, comforting, and oh-so-satisfying!    When I was a kid, my mom would go by her favorite…

Mom’s Classic Yeast Rolls Recipe & Bonus Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ask anyone in my family and they will tell you, “these are the best yeast rolls you will ever taste!” They are a labor of love, and we usually only got them on special occasions or holidays. I remember my mom getting up early in the morning, and magically turning plain flour into heavenly, buttery, yeasty rolls. These rolls took all day to prepare, and the anticipation for one built as the hours ticked by, waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the dough to rise, only to be punched down, kneaded and rise again, then punched a second time and formed into little mounds of perfection, rise a…

Strawberry Shortcake Trifle
Do you have a favorite desert? One your mom or grandma made when you were growing up? One so simple, yet so delicious it is the first thing to go on the desert table at any family gathering. Strawberry shortcake trifle is that desert for me. We never called it a “Trifle” growing up, it was just simply Strawberry Shortcake. I had no idea that there was another version of my favorite desert until I was well into my 20’s. The small dry sponge cake, or biscuit, with cool whip version definitely does not resonate well with me after growing up with this version. So much so, that I grow…
