Like many moms, mine believed that her 3 kids never stopped loving the dessert that was their favorite when they were 12. So when we would come to visit 40 years later, we still got our "favorites".
"Butterscotch dessert" - made with a graham cracker crust, jello pudding, and whipped topping
German chocolate cake
Hummingbird/carrot cake
chow mein noodle chocolate bird nests
I bake all sorts of stuff, cakes, cookies, pastries, home made donuts, bread, brownies.
My son's favorites are chocolate chip cookies and pineapple upside down cake. Although it doesn't matter what I make, he'll eat anything I bake. He's easy to cook for because he isn't picky.
chocolate chip cookies made from the recipe on the Nestle chocolate chip package
butterscotch brownies
regular brownies
angel cake
fudge batter pudding (might now be called molten lava cake)
a heavy chocolate sheet cake with thick chocolate frosting--each piece weighed a ton
holiday stuff like:
lemon meringue pie
apple pie
pumpkin pie
sugar cookies
gingerbread
date and nut cookies (refrigerated in a roll and then sliced before baking)
and more. I have all the recipes except for that heavy chocolate cake. It was a winner at family reunions but I have no idea how it was so dense instead of fluffy. Everything was made from scratch.
German Chocolate cake with pecan frosting from our own trees--of course the pecans. So it was chock full of them. Eat a warm slice from a homemade batch (no boxed cake mix, if you please)
I can still smell it wafting through the house...MMMMMM
Chocolate pudding, back in the 50's, you had to cook it.
We must have been raised in the same era. Mom's big dessert also was chocolate pudding. She really was not a baker at all. She wasn't even a great cook, but ok. Both my grandmas love to bake. Mom did make a fair lemon marangue pie, but jello or pudding was the desserts we mostly had. Oh and yes, ice cream.
Rice KrispyTreats. Melting all that margarine & mini-marshmallows was hard work, ya know...
Eyeball jello. Any flavor of red jello with fruit cocktail...the grapes looked like eyeballs.
It made me a skinny kid.
