PISTACHIO CUPCAKES

I’m a big fan of pistachios, especially when it comes to pistachio ice cream. These nuts are more than just a delicious snack; they’re loaded with nutrients, healthy fats, and protein. Their rich flavor brings a distinct depth to desserts, making them an ideal choice for cupcakes. Plus, their vibrant green hue can enhance any dessert. So why not explore the wonderful world of pistachio delights and whip up a batch of these scrumptious cupcakes?

HOT FUDGE CAKE (aka. Chocolate Cobbler)

I can’t tell you how good this Hot Fudge Cake taste.  The soft moist chocolaty cake with this creamy, delicious fudge sauce.  I have seen this cake called Chocolate Cobbler but I always think of cobbler as having a pie-like crust and I just can’t associate this piece of chocolate heaven with a cobbler.

It’s so easy to make and can be easily made by items in your pantry.

STRAWBERRY & CREAM PIE COOKIES

 

I’m not a huge fan of  pie in general but I do love those fried pies, especially the ones filled with coconut or chocolate.  I think I like them so much because of the proportion of crust to filling.  But  you know what’s better than fried pies?  Pie Cookies !  These little treasures of flaky goodness are the perfect combination of crust and filling.

These little strawberries and cream pie cookies are made using a pie crust which is filled with a layer of cream cheese and a dollop of strawberry preserves.  Need I say more?

LUBY'S BUTTERNUT BROWNIE PIE

I used to eat this pie at Luby's all of the time.  I would even eat it before I ate my food because it would be wrong to get full before you have had your pie.  Right? 

I hadn't made it in years and then I happened to run across the recipe again a couple of days ago and I couldn't get to the store fast enough to get the ingredients.

GREEN TOMATO SALSA

 The first frost hit and I lost most of my tomato plants leaving beautiful green tomatoes on the vine.

I normally just pickle my green tomatoes but I came across several recipes for Green Tomato Salsa and I decided to give it a try.
