Desserts - Golden Rum Cake

My family requests this rummy Bundt cake from me at all our get-togethers. The butter rum glaze makes it special. An easy way to glaze your cake is to pour half of the glaze into Bundt pan, reinsert cake, then pour the rest of glaze over the bottom of the cake. Let absorb well then invert back onto platter.

Breakfast And Brunch - Norwegian Pancakes Pannekaken

My Norwegian grandmother made this for us as a treat, and it continues to be a favorite my mother makes for my kids. Very easy and versatile. Serve rolled like a crepe with syrup or jam. Can also be a dessert stuffed with a sweetened cream cheese and lingon berry mixture.

Apples, peaches, bananas and raisins baked with a cinnamon spiced oaty crumble topping.

Breakfast And Brunch - Sicilian Homemade Ricotta Cheese

Fresh, creamy ricotta cheese is easy to make at home from ingredients you can find in any grocery store. Use it in pastas, as a spread, or in any recipe that calls for ricotta. It's also a great breakfast treat with fresh fruit.

Herbs And Spices - Alabama Pulled Pig

Best if cooking is started the day before serving. Boston butt is the easiest to make on a small scale. Use a shoulder or a whole shoulder (which is a shoulder plus the Boston butt) for larger crowds. The sauce skimmed off the top is very, very hot and can also be used to make terribly hot chicken wings.

Seafood - Asian Rainbow Trout

Flavors of Asia come together in this delicious, simple recipe that I put together after asking various people what to do with rainbow trout!

Fruits And Vegetables - Rosy Rhubarb Smoothie

Use frozen rhubarb, a banana, cranberry juice blend, and vanilla yogurt to make a refreshing pink smoothie.

Herbs And Spices - Dill Gazpacho

This refreshing soup originates from Spain and is served ice cold. The base of the soup is made with fresh tomatoes, cucumber and peppers. For a smoother soup, puree more than half of the vegetables. If you prefer it chunky - don't puree them at all. It's even better if you can leave this soup overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
