Pies happen to be one of my most favorite desserts but so many pies call for long cooking times in the oven.  With the Summer heat upon us, I try to find recipes with little oven cooking time and that often need refrigeration to keep everyone cool.  I have a few favorites and this is… [Continue Reading]

Quick and Easy Pumpkin Cake
