My brother and I were assigned the task of unwrapping the caramels for this pie.

This cake is rich and delectable on its own, but I always looked forward to the fruit Grandma served with it.

Grandma’s chocolate cupcakes had the healthful addition of bananas.

The old folks used to say that this pie was so sweet it attracted everyone, including the flies.

Grandma often used fudge pie as a bargaining chip with Grandpa.

People just couldn’t believe how clever and resourceful Grandma was for making a cake with no flour!

My family called this cake icing ‘mystery icing,’ because the way it’s made is so unusual, no one can guess how it’s done.

Grandma swapped some of her peaches for some of her neighbor’s pecans to make this doubly delicious pie.

I discovered why this recipe was named ‘Rocky Road’: The nuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows are the bumps.

Chocolate cake was Grandma’s favorite, and this was her favorite chocolate cake.
