I dedicated this cookbook to my Grandma Meier because she was the one who taught me my love of baking. Included in this book are some of her vintage recipes compiled while she was in a baking club in the 1950's. Many have her handwritten notes on them. They are so special to me. In the book I also share memories of my grandma at Christmastime.

A big huge thank you to my editor Amanda Steves for all her hard work helping me get this done. Couldn't have done it without her!

Here's a sample recipe from the ebook.

Easy Homemade Cheese

Image
This recipe for homemade cheese is very, very easy. No special equipment is needed. The texture of the cheese reminds me of feta, which I love. You can slice it, spread it on crackers and sandwiches and crumble it on your salads etc.  I used some of it on a chicken pizza, and wow, so delicious. It's fun to make too!  Chicken Apple Citrus Salad  with crumbled homemade cheese Here's the recipe that is customized to my tastes, but you can totally change up the flavors to the way you prefer. Easy Homemade Cheese All you need is 4 cups whole milk 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar  4 tablespoons butter, melted salt to your taste 2 - 3 teaspoons garlic powder (optional) chopped herbs such as chives, thyme, rosemary, oregano (optional) Instructions 1 . Add the milk to a large pot on the stove. Heat it up until just boiling, stirring constantly so you don't scorch the milk. 2 . Take it off of the burner and immediately add the apple cider vinegar. Stir for a couple of minutes...

Cake in Jars

Image
A few months ago, I had a get-together coming up and I thought I would make cake in Mason jars, so if anyone wasn't ready for dessert they could take one home. I just didn't fill them extra-full on that night so a lid would go on easily. The good thing about a dessert like this is that you don't have to eat it all at once. If you only eat half, just put the lid back on and place it in the fridge. Here's how to do it: Cake in Jars 1 . Make your favorite chocolate cake in a 9x13 sheet pan. Let it cool.  2 . Make or buy both caramel sauce and chocolate frosting. 3 . Place pieces of cake in Mason jars about a quarter of the way up, then cover with frosting. 4 . Add a second layer of cake and drizzle with caramel sauce. 5 . Top with caramel whipped cream, which is made by stirring some left-over caramel sauce into heavy cream and whipping it up like normal. It tastes delicious! 6 . Lastly, drizzle with more caramel sauce and add chocolate sprinkles. 7 . Store in the fridge. ...

Homemade No-Churn Ice Cream Sundaes

Image
Homemade ice cream sundaes from scratch!  I have had a hankering for ice cream lately. I really enjoy making it at home with ingredients I can pronounce. No fancy machine needed! I like to embellish my sundaes a bit with homemade chocolate ganache sauce or strawberry sauce. You can stick a chocolate caramel turtle on your chocolate sundae as well. Yum!  Am I eating them all myself? No! I always share with my family, of course!  I made them just in time too because I started to get a sore throat last night. This ice cream really feels soothing going down. It's so creamy and smooth.  With the recipe for the vanilla ice cream below, you can use it as a base for whatever kind of ice cream you want to make. Just add fruits and sauces to change the flavor. You can add peanut butter too. The sky's the limit. To freeze, I put the ice cream in Glad® plastic containers. They come with lids and keep the ice cream fresh. You can find them next to the freezer bag aisle at your gr...
