I definitely inherited my sweet tooth from my mother. Growing up during the holiday’s my mom would wow us with her desserts. Whenever I take a bite of chocolate cake or dive into a cobbler, I think of mom.<\/p>\n

Mother’s Day is this Sunday. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate mom’s and grandmother’s than to share amazing dessert recipes<\/a><\/strong> passed down from them.<\/p>\n

“My mom used to make the best brownies in Texas,” exclaims Penny Jordan<\/a><\/strong> (Lubbock, TX<\/a><\/strong>). “Oh my gosh, they were sooo good!” <\/p>\n

One bite of her Mom’s Best Ever Brownies<\/a><\/strong> and I’m so happy Penny shared her mom’s recipe. It reminds me of my grandmother’s brownies. The buttermilk helps make these super moist. And that icing? Tops them off perfectly.<\/p>\n

Have you ever tried a mayonnaise cake? I know, you’re thinking mayo in a cake? But yes! It makes the cake moist and tender. And April Alvarez’s <\/a><\/strong>(Brandon, FL<\/a><\/strong>) Grandma Baldwin’s Mayonnaise Cake\/Pudding Frosting<\/a><\/strong> recipe is a lovely example of a perfectly designed chocolate cake.<\/p>\n

“My Grandmother Baldwin would make this every week and when I got old enough to ride my bike, I would ride from one side of San Diego to the other just to eat a piece,” reminisces April. If you haven’t tried a mayo cake before, definitely check out this recipe.<\/p>\n

Another scrumptious recipe is Heidi Edwards<\/a><\/strong> (Longview, WA<\/a><\/strong>) My Grandma’s Apple Strudel<\/a><\/strong>. “This is my grandma’s recipe passed down,” shares Heidi. “My father, before he passed away, would make this for me a lot! It bring’s back a lot of memories to me and I wouldn’t want to make it any other way.”<\/p>\n

I’m a fan of both the technique and flavor found in this goody. Back in the day, shortening was used in crusts and it creates a tender dough for this strudel. Paired with the cinnamon apples and the sweet icing, you taste the love in every bite. Brew up some coffee and enjoy!<\/p>\n

“My Portuguese grandmother would make this wonderful Arroz Doce (Cinnamon Rice Pudding)<\/a><\/strong> as a special treat for me and my two brothers,” says Genny Miller<\/a><\/strong> (Nampa, ID<\/a><\/strong>). “It was always so sweet, creamy, and out of this world!”<\/p>\n

Genny’s grandmother’s rice pudding is so very creamy and flavorful. Packed with cinnamon, this is a quick and easy dessert for your family. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and there will be smiles all around the table.<\/p>\n

“This is one of her cakes that has become a favorite of my family and friends as well,” explains Carol Perricone’s<\/a><\/strong> (Massapequa Park, NY<\/a><\/strong>) of her Mom’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake<\/a><\/strong> recipe.<\/p>\n

Honorary Kitchen Crew member Lora DiG<\/a><\/strong> (Staten Island, NY<\/a><\/strong>) tried Carol’s recipe and became a huge fan. “This was fluffy, moist and very flavorful,” thought Lora. “I learned the hard way that this recipe is very forgiving… But it still came out fantastic!” <\/p>\n

Do you have any recipes that remind you of your mom or grandmother? Share them! I’m sure everyone would love to hear the story behind the recipe. Happy Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
