Grandma's Old-Fashioned Recipes For DessertsGrandma worked long, hard days as a pioneer rancher's wife near Airdrie, Alberta. She watered cattle, groomed horses, forked hay, and tended her large vegetable garden. She also had to quickly prepare hearty, delicious meals for her hardworking husband and nine hungry children.
Back then, nothing topped the meal off or brightened a day on the Alberta prairie like a tasty dessert. Because Grandma's time was limited, she chose quick and easy dessert recipes, the ones she knew would always turn out.
Now, Grandma's Best Dessert Recipes Are Yours
Hi,
Don't you just love homemade desserts?
I can recall growing up in the 1950s and attending many family birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings where the tables fairly groaned under the weight of old-fashioned homemade treats. Can you imagine the sight?
There were yummy fruit pies, rich and flaky pastries, thickly iced layer cakes, colorful sugar cookies, crumbly date squares, nutty cinnamon rolls, fruity puddings topped with real whipped cream, and all kinds of sinfully sweet confections -- all made by my aunts and my Mom using Grandma's old-time dessert recipes. It was a dessert lover's dream!
You see, my Grandma McIlmoyle was a great cook. Her cakes, cookies, and pies were the talk of her neighborhood. She was born in 1877, and throughout her long life she collected cookbooks, clipped recipes from the old weekly newspapers, and exchanged favorites with friends and family members. Grandma also cherished the handwritten recipes passed down from her mother.
Grandma taught her six daughters how to cook. As a young girl, my mother baked several cakes and a dozen pies each week. Mom became a fantastic cook. She loved cooking and, like Grandma, she clipped the best dessert recipes from magazines and collected them in scrapbooks. She also wrote out many of Grandma's favorite recipes to use after she was married.

- 2 -Discover Mom's Cooking SecretDesserts were Mom's specialty. She knew the "secret" of how to make them. It's really quite simple. To make extraordinary desserts, you just need extraordinary recipes -- Grandma's.
Eventually, Mom inherited many of Grandma's best recipes. They were well used when I was growing up on the farm. We scarcely had a meal that didn't end with a delicious pudding, or a pie warm from the oven.
My wife Vicki and I still have those remarkable old cookbooks and recipe scrapbooks, plus vintage cookbooks of our own, and I would love to share their contents with you. Now, you can unlock the secrets of how to make Grandma's quick and easy desserts.
This website is dedicated to Grandma and Mom, and to you... a dessert lover like me who can appreciate the old-fashioned homemade taste.
I know you'll want to add Grandma's recipes to your own recipe collection so please bookmark this site and return often. You won't want to miss out!
Enjoy your visits.
Sincerely,
Don Bell

You've Never Tasted Desserts Like TheseGrandma's dessert recipes can be made from scratch with simple ingredients. All-natural ingredients like fresh fruit, eggs, milk, cream, butter, sugar, and flour -- no artificial flavors or harmful trans fats here. These are healthy dessert recipes, the genuine article. True, there are calories involved, but there's nothing wrong with calories in moderation. So don't worry. Just enjoy the delicious taste.
These classic dishes are inexpensive to make, and they taste country-style delicious. They're the standard by which today's desserts are judged. Most are relatively simple to make, while some are fancier and may take you a little bit longer to prepare. After all, there are times when you won't want to rush perfection. But, with your modern kitchen appliances, you'll make them faster than Grandma ever dreamed possible.
Not only will you love experimenting with these easy dessert recipes, but you'll enjoy reading them too. They offer us a rare, nostalgic look into the type of treats people were eating over a century ago and the methods they used to prepare them. Ingenuity and patience were woven into Grandma's recipes, as the cooks of her day could only use the ingredients and equipment they had available.
I know you'll enjoy tasting the actual treats that your great-great-grandparents once loved to eat.
