This recipe for a Chocolate Strawberry Rum Cake is something I came up with because I wanted to make something similar to the Cherry Chocolate Rum Cake I used to make at the restaurant. Two days before our Christmas Eve celebration at my parents’ house, my sister pointed out that […]
I created this recipe for Cranberry Pecan Sandies for my father. He loves the Pecan Sandies that you buy from the grocery store, but I wanted to do something special for him. I started researching recipes for Pecan Sandies and Russian Teacakes (which have a very similar texture). It took […]
