Updated December 2024.

I am writing you today from my daughter’s home in Utah!  I flew up yesterday to help her pack to move to Georgia. I will also drive with her across the country to her new home with 4 of our grandkids.  What an adventure, right?

Toasted Almond Russian Tea Cakes

November 13, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

I am always baking cookies and pies for our family.  I LOVE baking for them.  BUT, THIS recipe for Toasted Almond Russian Tea Cakes is their ALL-Time favorite.

I know this recipe traditionally call for walnuts or pecans.  I am now allergic to both of those nuts.  So, I don’t purchase them very often. One Christmas baking season, I only had raw, sliced almonds. So, I thought I might as well give it a try. They have been the family fave ever since!!

Another thing about this cookie-I ONLY use REAL vanilla & butter. It makes all the difference in the flaky texture and buttery flavor.

I bet you want the recipe, right?

My Lemon Truffle Chocolate Cake

August 20, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

I want to say it must have been about 25 yrs ago, I was watching Martha, yes THE Martha Stewart. She made a lemon cake with chocolate frosting. It looked so delish and inspired me to make my lemon truffle chocolate cake.  Why do I call it a truffle cake?  Because the flavors remind me of a See’s Candy lemon truffle.

Have you had a lemon truffle from Sees candy? If not, this cake recipe will give a sample of the flavorful candy.
