Warm gingerbread cake baked in a skillet on top of a sweet mixture of caramelized pears and flipped over to reveal a stunning presentation, fancy enough for a Thanksgiving dessert. Gingerbread Pear Upside Down Cake The pairing of gingerbread and pears brings this cake to the forefront for the fall. The pears hold up exceptionally well and complement the cake's warm spices nicely. Upside-down cakes are famous here in the South, with pineapple being the most traditional. This Gingerbread Pear Upside Down Cake tastes and looks impressive, and is made using a simple shortcut to save time and effort in the kitchen. The cake is moist and dense, just like I like it. Usually, gingerbread cakes get better with age, but you will want to eat this cake in a day or two since the pears begin to soften. The structure of pears changes when cooked, unlike other fruits used in upside-down cakes, such as pineapple, peaches, and apples. Serve thick cake slices at ...

Epic! Pumpkin Roll Bread Pudding
My love for pumpkin rolls and bread pudding is the inspiration for this recipe. The flavors of fall spices in the tender pumpkin roll cake and the sweetness of the cream cheese frosting are the beginning of an epic bread pudding. Pumpkin Roll Bread Pudding The pumpkin bread pudding takes on a whole new level of deliciousness when a pumpkin roll cake is cut into cubes, soaked in a decadent pumpkin puree custard, and served with a luscious sauce with a secret ingredient. Bread pudding is often served with a custard sauce of milk, eggs, and vanilla. But listen, Ina Garner skips the hassle and just buys a pint of ice cream instead, brilliant. A little time in the microwave turns ice cream into a luscious, pourable sauce for your pudding. Try it with classic vanilla bean ice cream, or mix it up with coffee ice cream, butter pecan, or your favorite flavor. Whether you want to reveal the secret behind the sauce when you serve it is totally up to you...

Air Fryer Fried Green Tomatoes
These air fryer green tomatoes deliver a crunchy outside with a smooth, succulent inside. The perfect summer food you will ever devour. Fried Green Tomatoes The air fryer is the perfect way to cook fried green tomatoes. I like to call them healthified fried green tomatoes. To finish them off, you can sprinkle a generous drop of coarse salt, salty capers, or a few drops of hot sauce. To make air fryer green tomatoes, start with medium size unripe tomatoes. I prefer using light green tomatoes that are pale green and have a hint of pink coming through the skin. They are not quite so sour. Don't make the mistake of choosing green heirloom tomatoes. Green heirloom tomatoes are fully ripe tomatoes, a different variety of tomatoes. I love combining self-rising cornmeal and panko for the coating, and of course, don't forget to double dip to get the most delicious, crunchy outside, divine. I also leav...
