Nancy’s Snickerdoodles – Who doesn’t love these

Oct 25, 2019

Nancy Lee and Me - Snickerdoodles

Snickerdoodles – These cookies are “comfort” cookies and while baking them the house smells wonderful.

Origin

“A New England favorite, these large, crinkly-topped sugar cookies are probably German in origin. Their name may be a corruption of the German word ‘Schneckennudeln,’ which translates roughly as ‘crinkly noodles. ‘”

Nancy Lee and Me - Foolproof Dark Chocolate Fudge

Foolproof Dark Chocolate Fudge – This is the easiest to make and really taste great. Great for the holidays.

Origin

Culinary legend has it that fudge was invented in America. On Valentine’s Day, 1886, a confectioner and chocolate maker in Baltimore, Maryland “fudged” a batch of French caramels. The delicious result? The very first batch of “fudge” ever.

Lemon Jell-O Cake – This is another of our family favorites.

Origin of Jell-O

The original gelatin dessert began in Le Roy, New York, in 1897, when Pearle Bixby Wait trademarked the name Jell-O. He and his wife May had made the product by adding strawberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon flavoring to sugar and granulated gelatin (which had been patented in 1845).
