Me Oh My It's Pecan Pie My mother's favorite dessert of all time was Pecan Pie. Coincidentally, my mother-in-law's favorite dessert is also Pecan Pie. For the longest time, I was not a big Pecan Pie fan. I always thought they were too sweet. This recipe isn't like most other Pecan Pie recipes. It's got tons of nuts and you won't find it overly sweet. READ NOW Share

Peanut Butter Fudge One of my favorite memories of my mom was coming home from school to that smell of cooking peanut butter. I'd find my mother in the kitchen with a rag tied around her hips, barefoot and stirring a pot of hot peanut butter fudge. Yummy! READ NOW Share

Oatmeal Cookies The dining room table covered in newspapers was another good sign to find when I got home from school. Newspapers meant Mother was making Oatmeal Cookies. Warm and chewy and filled with my mother's love, make these the best cookies ever. READ NOW Share

Rice Pudding Maybe it's a generational thing, but both my mother and mother-in-law just love rice pudding. Rice Pudding, again, is not my favorite dessert. It wasn't until my daughter made this recipe for Rice Pudding that I am now a fan. You will be too. It's the orange zest that really makes it. READ NOW Share

Boiled Peanuts I have fond memories of traveling with my mom and dad. A road-trip didn't go by without stopping at a roadside stand to buy warm boiled peanuts. These days I make them at home in the crockpot. I've even served them for an appetizer. Everyone just loves this special treat. READ NOW Share
