Wonky shaped orange zest speculaas biscuits.

I explained my failure in the orange challenge thread. They taste fine though!

Pineapple Upside Down Cake for Bingo Night tomorrow ... my official taste tester aka DH gave it a BIG thumbs up ... "I don't know how much of this cake is going to Bingo..."
I used Pineapple Tidbits, because that's just what I had on hand.

For cards afternoon with my Neighborhood Gal Pals + a visiting Mother of one of them:

My Tricked Out Brownies
I made a full recipe so that DH could have some all to himself!

 

[Windigo]

Slice of my orange drizzle cake. It was had with a cup of lady grey.

Devil's Food cupcakes with TastyReuben recipe for Bourbon-Bacon Cream Cheese frosting.

These two went to Mr. Next Door Neighbor, who had requested to be my official taste tester on this recipe.
I made 23 cupcakes, but I'm only taking 12 (`cuz that's all that fits into my Tupperware®) to Bingo tomorrow night with my Gal Pals.

I made these to take next door for dinner and visiting with my Neighborhood Gal Pals tomorrow.

The school that I attended, K-12, served us all a hot lunch each day AND dessert.
This is an all-time favorite with everyone.
The name that we used at our school was Haole Brownies, at our rival school it was Caramel Cuts.
Whatever you want to call them, they are delicious!
My official taste-tester said he thought that were a bit too sweet

I think they're just right, chewy, soft, a little gooey and ONO!!!

Baked a lemon New York cheesecake today. We shall have to see if it tastes good tomorrow it's chilling overnight

Cornbread, still warm from the oven:

This is a more “old-fashioned” recipe - modern ones seem to use a lot of flour and a little cornmeal, which makes a very soft, cake-like cornbread.

This is nearly all cornmeal and very little flour, so it’s more coarse, more dense, and more like what I ate growing up.

Check out that edge - that’s what 2 tablespoons of hot bacon grease in a 9-inch pan gets you!

I use a cast iron pan for cornbread, and I've used bacon fat to grease the pan the last few times.
