Grandma's Hot Fudge Pudding

(1 reviews) Posted by Empire920  

This was my one of my dad's favorite recipes growing up. My grandmother wrote it out for me hoping I will pass on the tradition. She made a note that white sugar can be substituted for the brown. Also, she says it's also good cold. I have not... MORE»

Mandarin Orange Dessert Salad

(1 reviews) Posted by Empire920  

This recipe comes from a good friend. She calls it a salad. I call it a dessert. Regardless, it's fantastic. Feel free to substitute vanilla ice cream for the sherbet. The servings are a total guess (haven't made this for a long time). MORE»

Posted by Empire920  

I know there's a million brownie recipes out there but my cousin's recipe is fantastic and I had to share. I posted ingredients for a 13x9 inch pan but if you want to use a 8x8 pan, just half the recipe. Follow same instructions. MORE»

Bob Greene's Pepper and Olive Tomato Sauce

This is wonderful over chicken or fish, even pasta. I served it with ladypit's "Baked Tilapia With Lots of Spice". The sauce has just a little kick, thanks to the cayenne pepper...leave it out if you prefer. MORE»
