60+ HOLIDAY HERILOOM RECIPES PLUS FREE E-BOOK!

There is nothing like a good heriloom recipe, is there?  And today, I have over 60 for you guys!

And mine?  Sweet Caramel Icing… Yes, I’m posting  literally within hours of each other, and that my bleeps, is a first!

I have a very good reason, and I hope you’ll trust me for it… So if the beginning of this post seems seriously familiar, then maybe, just chalk it up to dejavu, so we can PARTY!!!

So, have you had a chance to see it?  Our ebook?  No?

Well, my very dear ones,

I have a gift for you…

A gift that not only, brings together recipes from some of THE most amazing people I’ve ever met, but it represents a dream coming to fruition.

Designing this ebook has been one of the most fantastic experiences of my life.  And these incredible bloggers… the ones whom you’ll see among these pages…have overwhelmed me with their generosity and kindness and support!

So, Merry Christmas…Happy Holdiays and all that Jazz!

This ebook was designed and compiled for you… to thank you for your visits, your comments, the laughter we’ve shared and your much-appreciated support.

You can preview it right here.

 

It’s free for you to download and to share.

Just click on the image above and it will open the pdf in a new window for you to save and peruse all the wonderful recipes from our hearts and our homes.

In it, you’ll find my mother’s Caramel Applesauce Cake.

And as far as I know… it’s never been published…This is the version my mom uses…

Caramel Applesauce Cake Recipe

Her handwritten recipe…

I can’t remember a Christmas without it.  When we got together this Thanksgiving and made it, she told me it came from her neighbor, in Roanoke, Mrs. Fagan.  Mrs. Fagan sent it home with her at Thanksgiving and told her to keep it in the refrigerator and not eat it until Christmas!

And Mom said it was still good!  Can you imagine?  This cake would never have lasted in my fridge for a month!!!

It’s amazing…

First you have to boil the applesauce with the soda…

And it makes this wonderfully thick batter…

Mix the Cake

And this is the pan my mom originally baked her first one in… about fifty years ago!

Tell me that ain’t one pretty cake!

Cool the Cake

But, oh!  It’s not anything until you get that icing made!!!

Caramel Icing

Just look at it… slap yo’ momma!
