Peach Upside Down Cake I
This is old fashioned goodness. The cake is almost a shortbread and the nutmeg adds the perfect touch. I didn't have any milk, so I used sour cream. I also added about 1/2 t vanilla to the batter. I will make this every time I have peaches. Thanks for sharing!

Grandma's Gingersnap Cookies
These are really good gingersnaps! I was looking for a recipe that was not as crispy all the way through as the one I have always used. I think the 350 cooking temperature helps with this as well as the ingredients. I upped the spicy factor and added 1/2 t cloves as another reviewer suggested. I also added 1 t grated fresh ginger and about 1/3 c finely chopped candied ginger to make them triple ginger snaps. This will be my go to ginger snap recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Brooke's Best Bombshell Brownies
Yum, yum, yum! I was looking for a chewy, moist brownie. This is it! The brownie of my dreams. I did use half brown sugar, half white sugar as one of the reviewers suggested. This will be my go to brownie recipe from now on. Thanks for sharing.
