I remember the first time I made this dish. It was a Saturday afternoon. My husband was working in the yard and the kids were in their rooms. A few minutes after the dumplings went in the stove, the house was filled with the sweetest smell. It smelled like my grandma’s house on a Sunday afternoon.

Needless to say that before I could finish dinner there were several people in the kitchen asking what that delicious smell. There were no leftovers that night! Since then they’ve been a family favorite.

Quick Tip – These can be prepared using fresh or canned peaches. Any lemon-lime soda will do.

Every now and then it seems we live in the land of chocolate, but sometimes you need a little zest to clean the palate.

Toss in the popular fizzy flavor of 7-up, and you have yourself a refreshing ripe dessert. The pudding in this citrus dish makes for a creamy delicate combination. With a punchy lemon flavor, this cake is sure to please the crowds. I never would have thought of using 7-up – or any soda, for that matter, to make a cake. I had my doubts about this one but I’m so glad I decided to give it a try, anyway.

It turned out so beautiful and moist, the recipe went straight to my box of favorites. And believe me, it’s not easy to get into that box! The best part about this recipe, though, is how easy this cake is to prepare.

The next time I’m going to try baking this in a muffin tin! Topped with a cream cheese frosting, I bet they would make amazing treats to go with your morning coffee or a yummy snack in the afternoon.

Quick tip: You could change the flavor by using ginger ale instead of 7-up!

I Could Probably Wolf Down 20 in One Sitting, If I Didn’t Watch Myself!

What an easy recipe for your grill – and aside from the time to marinate, it won’t take you all that long to make, either. This Filipino Barbecue Pork on a Stick combines a touch of the exotic with all of the great familiar flavors of American BBQ. This is sure to be a hit at your next cookout or tailgate party, or maybe you’d just like to wow your friends and family with something amazingly delicious! I can never resist grabbing a couple of tasty skewers of barbecue chicken or pork when I see it at the Chinese buffet.

I was itching for an excuse to break out the grill another time or two, and I have to say I was rather well rewarded. Definitely worth staying outside for a moment, even if the weather is getting colder. Yum!

Plus, if you’re going to make this outside all you have to do is put your hat and gloves on if the weather is starting to get nippy. Trust me, it’ll be well worth the effort.
