I had been adding recipes for a while to a new cookbook so I could find them when I wanted to cook them. In the electronic age, a digital version seems to make more sense, since I can add, amend, advise, adjust, delete, and reconsider as often as I want to and you can access them if and when you please. I've included the recipes from both my original cookbook which many of you have, and additional accumulated recipes that never got published. This isn’t the latest thing or nouvelle cuisine. These recipes are comfort food, good memories, treasured family recipes, and occasional treats as well as many healthier recipes I've grown to like in recent years. I encourage you to add comments, pictures, and favorite recipes to make this a real family cooking spot. It's the next best thing to sharing a meal.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
3 cups sugar
3 cups flour
6 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt

Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.  Add cream cheese beat until incorporated. Add eggs alternately with flour.  Add vanilla and salt.  Beat well.  Pour into well greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.  Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes.  Reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake for 1 1/4 hours until long pick inserted comes out clean.  No peeking until end of cooking time or the cake may fall.  Cool in pan.
 
This delicious pound cake was made by my friend Lou Michaels for family and friends on special occasions, or most any time upon request.
