Cake and Pie Recipes

I remember my mom making this cake when I was young and had no idea it had so many steps to it. In buying all the ingredients for the cake I saw that my mom's recipe called for cake flour
This recipe comes from my Mom's little red and white cookbook. I couldn't tell you who Hester is but I can guess it is from my Dad's side of the family.
This recipe is an easy solution to those of us who for the life of them cannot make a decent pie crust. This pie has a crust but you don't have to roll it out.
This is another one of my Mom's recipes that I am sure was handed down from her Mom. Being of Canadian decent it is only natural of make butter tarts.
This is one of my mom's favorites. Its a very dense cake that is full of flavor. I remember her making it often. I also could tell this is one of her favorites because of the way the page looks in her cookbook.
This is a light variation of the stand by traditional pumpkin pie. You get all the pumpkin taste but this pie is very light and airy. Using a sugar free or light whipped topping can also cut some calories without losing any taste.

This is a great recipe for the summer because you can use up all those over large zucchini all your back yard farmers have in over stock
I remember growing up in Warren, Michigan and living in a very ethnic neighborhood. The neighbors across the street being German, next door were Polish and a few houses down were Italian.
I don't remember if my Mom made banana cream pie but I'm pretty sure in all of her years of cooking she probably made a banana cream pie.
