I was lucky enough to [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/chocolate-orgasms-83.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-crisp-2-801.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-crisp-2-801.htm#comments Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:43:18 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=801       Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed it’s apple season. What better way to enjoy a cool autumn day than with a warm, spicy apple crisp? I’ve had this recipe on hand for many years. It was given to me by a wonderful woman I worked with long ago. I love [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/apple-crisp-2-801.htm/feed 6 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/indoor-smores-755.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/indoor-smores-755.htm#comments Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:52:31 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=755       This has been one of the rainiest June’s I can remember, at least in my area.  I think we swapped climates with Seattle. When summer comes I crave s’mores, but how do you make a decent s’more when the rain doesn’t let up long enough to build a fire?  Friday night seemed like a [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/indoor-smores-755.htm/feed 5 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/an-american-place-strawberry-shortcake-96.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/an-american-place-strawberry-shortcake-96.htm#comments Sun, 19 Apr 2009 00:07:44 +0000 Dawn http://www.demeo-web.com/wordpress/?p=96       I’ve had a version of this recipe in my archives for some time, so I don’t remember where I first saw it.  Supposedly it comes from the June 2000 issue of Parade magazine.  I’ve made a few changes to it over the years, and I always get tons of compliments when I serve it.

Another lava cake recipes? Isn’t every recipe blogger doing that? Okay, okay. But this is the last part of my red-themed-anti-Valentine’s Day dinner, and I wanted to post it. There are many different ways to make this moist, delicious cake with a melty center. Sometimes the center is made separately from the rest [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/individual-chocolate-lava-cakes-467.htm/feed 2 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/banana-bread-with-macadamia-nuts-438.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/banana-bread-with-macadamia-nuts-438.htm#comments Thu, 08 Jan 2009 00:44:49 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=438       When my husband and I went to Hawaii, we discovered a few stands selling banana bread by the side of the road. We were told that Julia’s was “the world’s best” banana bread. I always thought of banana bread as something you make to save extra bananas from going in the trash. That was [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/banana-bread-with-macadamia-nuts-438.htm/feed 3 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/iced-anise-cookies-421.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/iced-anise-cookies-421.htm#comments Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:15:00 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=421       I recently brought my husband with me on a shopping trip when he spied Christmas-colored nonpareils. He “suggested” they would look great on anise cookies…hint, hint. Because I’m such a good wife, and because I like to get nice presents (heh heh), I decided to make some for the holidays. First I searched every [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/iced-anise-cookies-421.htm/feed 4 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/new-england-snowballs-413.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/new-england-snowballs-413.htm#comments Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:53:42 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=413       I was looking for a cookie that would ship well, to pack with the gifts I mailed out to my brother’s family. I wanted to do gingerbread cutouts, but I wasn’t sure they would arrive intact. I was flipping through a book called “Homemade Christmas” by Mary Harvey Gurley, when I saw the recipe [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/new-england-snowballs-413.htm/feed 4 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/aloha-cookies-409.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/aloha-cookies-409.htm#comments Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:56:59 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/?p=409       I’m not sure “Aloha Cookies” is the best name, but it was the best I could come up with.  It was that or “Pineapple Coconut Macadamia Cookies”…and I ran out of breath trying to say it. :)  I went on a baking frenzy today and decided to come up with something new.  Hence this [...]]]> http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/aloha-cookies-409.htm/feed 0 http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pink-ribbon-cookies-191.htm http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pink-ribbon-cookies-191.htm#comments Mon, 20 Oct 2008 06:58:09 +0000 Dawn http://www.dawnsrecipes.com/pink-ribbon-cookies-191.htm This is actually a post from last year, but I decided to bump it up to the top since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I’ve noticed it’s currently the #2 recipe searched for on my site, so I thought I’d make it easier for you folks who want to “Think Pink” this month!  Enjoy!
