This cake recipe came from my grandmother, Thelma Beatty. It doesn’t say what frosting should be used for it, but am guessing that a brown-sugar frosting would probably be good.

Torte
The title of this recipe is “torte” but it isn’t really a torte. It isn’t really a pavlova either. Trying to find a recipe just like this one is impossible. But this is a traditional Christmas dessert in my family. It requires a DOZEN eggs. When it bakes, it ends up with a nice crunchy coating. It is covered with whipped cream.
Sugar Cookies
Ah….the traditional frosted Christmas cookies. Of course this recipe doesn’t have to be used for just Christmas. How about Halloween? Valentine’s Day? The recipe source is listed as Penzeys, which, apparently, is a space company. I don’t know anything about the spice company, but this is one of the recipes that my grandmother used.
Strawberry Pretzel
This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.
Strawberry Cake
This strawberry cake recipe has been used in our family for years. It is one of Susannah’s favorites and usually what we have on her birthday.
Springerle Cookies
Well now I am a little confused. I have two springerle cookie recipes, this one and one called “Mrs. Miller’s Springerle Cookies”. I think this is actually the one that my grandmother used.
Sour Cream Rhubarb Squares
I like rhubarb, but have never made these.
Southern Creole Pralines
I loved these when I bought them at Stuckey’s. These are probably even better, but never made them.
Sorghum Cookies
These cookies are soft and chewy. Make sure you do not over cook.
