Let's go back home and try again.
One thing that stands out in my childhood memories is my dad’s love for banana cake. Whenever it was his birthday, my mom would bake him a Pillsbury banana cake. (By the way, it was the ’70s and boxed cake mixes were the new, big thing.) This banana cake recipe is an adaptation of the…
Lemon Curd is a great way to honor citrus during the season. It is simple to make, lasts for a couple weeks when stored properly, and is very versatile.
Grilled Fruit Cobbler A summertime twist on a favorite sweet treat Posted on June 11, 2019 Hooray for berry season! And I’m happy to report they’re coming in fat and sweet thanks to all the rain we had this winter. Once June and July roll around, I am not much for heating up the house…
Coconut Macaroon Nests Posted on April 10, 2019 These coconut macaroons are one of the most versatile cookie recipes you will have in your repertoire of sweets.

Southern Comfort A California girl’s twist on a sacred sweet Posted on May 9, 2018 Back when I was researching and testing recipes for Acme Southern Kitchen, I sent away for as many Junior League and church cookbooks as I could find from all parts of the South. These books are compilations of the personal…
In Search of Perfection A chocolate creation that truly takes the cake Posted on March 5, 2018 For years, I was on a quest to find the best recipe for a chocolate cake. The cakes always looked moist, almost shiny, and delicious in book photos, but once I baked them, they’d fall short. They either…
