Old Fashioned gingerbread is a delightful combination of two holiday flavors that complement each other perfectly! OLD FASHIONED GINGERBREAD WITH A TWIST Gingerbread and mincemeat are classic holiday flavors that bring back childhood memories. My twin sister shared a recipe many years ago combining these two holiday classics. Old Fashioned Gingerbread is a perfect treat to keep on hand during the holidays. There are many variations of gingerbread, from dark, dense cakes made with molasses to light, delicate cakes made with brown sugar and ginger. This recipe is dark and gingery, with robust mincemeat flavors. Initially, the recipe was made using mincemeat packaged in a box, but they stopped selling it in boxes as the years went by. I had to adjust the recipe when I started buying mincemeat in jars. I have shared both the box recipe and the jar recipe. It's wonderfully simple to make, and the batter comes together quickly. ...

As I am writing this blog post, I am thinking about the economy as it was in the 80's, as in comparison to today's economy. The unemployment rate was high, and jobs were also hard to find.

Fresh Apple Cake With Apple Cider Glaze
Fresh Apple Cake is the quintessential fall dessert, with all the flavors of melt-in-your-mouth, tender goodness. It captures the fondness of a crisp morning, a cup of coffee, and leaves swirling in the wind. Old Fashioned Fresh Apple Cake Fresh apple cake is made with three different varieties of apples, infused with the delicious aroma of cinnamon, baked in a bundt pan for easy serving, and topped with an apple cider glaze.

It is cooked in an iron skillet using three must ingredients: bacon drippings, buttermilk, and yellow cornmeal. About cornbread , I don’t want to expound on this too much for fear of stepping on some people's toes. The people in the North like cornbread, made with sugar, half cornmeal, and half flour. But the people in the South like their cornbread with cornmeal and a little flour, if any, and definitely no sugar. Also, southern cornbread is traditionally made in an iron skillet, giving it the desired crispy crust I like so much. I must say, my taste for cornbread has been swayed to somewhere in the middle because I actually like both recipes. I go back and forth. Sometimes, I want the salty, tangy taste of my Mother's cornbread, and sometimes, I like the sweetness of the nor...
It's All About "Pink"
