Cherry Nut Cake , three layers of spice cake with a blanket of rich caramel filling adorned with candied cherries and walnuts scattered throughout each layer.

Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup
As soon as the pumpkins came out this year, I knew I wanted to make Pumpkin Soup . This is a simple pumpkin soup with the addition of butternut squash that has been roasted. I came across this recipe for Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup over at Joy The Baker and liked her combination of the butternut squash along with the pumpkin. As she says, this is a creamy and super healthy soup that can be made in so many directions.
Traditional Baked Ham
Growing up , Baked ham was traditionally served at our house for special occasions like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. SPECIAL OCCASION BAKED HAM My Mother-in-law always cooked her hams low and slow, and she never put a glaze on them. Instead, she used the ham juices to baste with. Jim's Mother's recipe for baked ham was relatively easy and yielded an absolutely delicious result. This is because she cooked her ham low and slow in the oven without adding a glaze, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth ham. Her secret to cooking an amazing ham was to add water to the pan, cover it with foil, and baste it with the ham juices occasionally during cooking, approximately every 30 minutes. Pure Deliciousness!
