Creamed Spinach with Jalapeno Peppers : page 84
Another 5 star; not as spicy as you might guess (but you can fix that if you like). Creamed spinach with a kick! Finger-licking (spoon-licking) good. Has become an annual thanksgiving side, and each time I think why don't I make this 20 times per year?? have made with both fresh and frozen spinach; I prefer the fresh so that I can leave it a bit more hydrated. have also used both pepper jack cheese AND jalapenos, to spice it up, but there is enough fat in there from the cheese that it always rounds it out.

Gingerbread cake : page 173
My annual gingerbread, soft and deep. Good out of the oven, and nice the next day to two or three! Not a sticky cake (though I love those too!) but moist due to buttermilk & molasses. She offers a chocolate frosting and a lemon icing as well, I have made both but seem to prefer it plain. This mixes and bakes quickly; perfect for a chilly afternoon.
