Homemade Cabana bars.

I OFTEN wonder what ever happened to some of those favourite sweets we enjoyed as children. The Wagon Wheel the size of a manhole cover, the Fry’s Chocolate Cream with the different coloured fillings, the little bags of sugary coconut known as Spanish Gold? They hold great memories for many of us cursed back then with a sweet tooth and a little pocket money. A box of Terry’s Neapolitans, elegantly-wrapped miniature bricks of really great-tasting milk and dark chocolate flavoured with orange, coffee or mocha always sent me into incredibly happy memories of childhood Christmases in Dewsbury when, on one day of the holiday (probably Boxing Day, but I can’t be sure) our next-door-neighbours would hold a whist drive.

I was way too young to play, but I distinctly remember the quiet back room filled with lace-covered gaming tables, upon which sat a perfect pack of playing cards, an ashtray (this was the 70s after all!) And a little stemmed cut-glass bowl of sweets. Home-Made Cabana Bars Extras: PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE. Salted Caramel "Ding Dong" Cake Recipe at Epicurious.com. For cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.

Festive Fall Cheesecake Leaves and Pumpkins in Brilliant Autumn Colors. The sound of leaves crunching under my feet is music to my ears. Every fall, I find myself purposefully walking through every pile of leaves I can find, as I did yesterday during a visit to Columbus, Ohio. We drove to our state's capital to pick up some cases of chocolate yesterday, but took the opportunity to do some site seeing with our exchange student while we were there.

I had no idea the waterfront in the city was so lovely. It was really wonderful to stroll along the river watching the rippling water flowing quickly past us while crunching through leaves that had fallen from nearby treas which were still ablaze with ruby red, pumpkin orange, and sunshine yellow leaves. Inspired by the beauty that is all around me this fall, I created these festive fall leaf and pumpkin cheesecakes for Thanksgiving. They are nice individual sized desserts that will certainly dress up any table.

Festive Fall Cheesecake Leaves and Pumpkins in Brilliant Autumn Colors (makes 8 cheesecakes) Instructions: Peach melba. There is something delightfully tasteless about any sort of ice cream sundae, but particularly one in shades of orange and red. The ingredients – ripe peaches, raspberries and ice cream – work perfectly together, the slight sharpness of the raspberries perking up the sweetness of a peach that has been cooked in sugar syrup. The Recipe Poach 4 small peaches in a syrup made from 400mls of water, sweetened with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. When they are tender, skin them, halve them and remove their stones.

Whizz 250g raspberries in a food processor together with a tablespoon or two of the poaching syrup, then push through a sieve to remove the seeds. The Trick Peaches need to be poached in sugar syrup for a dessert such as Peach Melba, but too often they come out cloyingly sweet. The Twist A wafer is not obligatory. Mobile - Food - Caramelised peach melba with raspberry coulis. Peach Melba Recipe : Nigella Lawson. Directions Put the water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla pod into a wide saucepan and heat gently to dissolve the sugar. Bring the pan to the boil and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to a fast simmer. Cut the peaches in half, and if the stones come out easily then remove them, if not then you can get them out later. Poach the peach halves in the sugar syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Test the cut side with the sharp point of a knife to see if they are soft, and then remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon.

When all the peaches are poached, peel off their skins and let them cool (then you can remove any remaining stones). If you are making them a day in advance then let the poaching syrup cool and then pour into a dish with the peaches. To make the raspberry sauce, liquidize the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor. Pumpkin Pie Bites. Carrot and Orange cake.

Southerners celebrate the good things in life with food, be it an extravagant game-day tailgate, a casual holiday party, or a formal Christmas Eve dinner. No detail goes unnoticed and no stone goes unturned. My parents' home was recently flooded with friends and family to celebrate an intense — but friendly — college football rivalry.

Besides the big game, the weekend was filled with laughter and food, glorious food. Country ham biscuits, Bloody Marys, cheesy dips, smoked barbecue with all the fixin's, mom's famous chili, Texas Layer Cake, and so much more. It made me so proud to be Southern!
