This recipe has been handed down through many generations of my husband's family. The cookies were always in his grandmother's cookie jar when he'd visit. Today, he enjoys them more than ever—and so do I. —Debbie Hurlbert, Howard, Ohio

SPICED PRUNE COOKIES



Spiced Prune Cookies image

These cookies come from the (now deceased) mother of a friend. My copy of the recipe is in her handwriting and is very much a treasure. Most people believe that the cookie contains dates, not prunes. I don't bother to correct most. They are so good; why spoil it for them? (hehe)

BANANA CAKE WITH ORANGE ICING



Banana Cake With Orange Icing image

Another great banana cake but with a blast of citrus; gives it an added zing! It is lower in fat than some and I quite often make it without the icing so it is not too sweet either. I often add something extra as well...often a handful of dried cranberries really sets it off. I usually bake it in a tube pan but that is my personal preference. This recipe originated in "Lighthearted Everyday Cooking" by Anne Lindsay.
