Sometimes it is hard to keep track of all of the great recipes that are our there. Today, I thought I would make it a little easier by linking up some of the favorite Families.com recipes that we have posted over the years. It is a good selection of different kinds of food, from soup to desert, although I have to say that I am partial to the desert. Enjoy!

Have you ever seen the gigantic chocolate cake that Costco sells? It is a 5 layer chocolate cake, with chocolatey whipped frosting and then it is smothered in chocolate shavings. Even one small piece is enough to send you on a sugary induced high and it’s one of the few cakes that’s too rich for even me to have a big piece. (But, I never said anything about bites here and there.)

Christmas should be simple for all of us this year. We want to entertain, but we don’t want to spend all week in the kitchen baking and preparing. One of the most popular food items this time of year, is the desserts and treats. Some people even use desserts as a Christmas gift. It is a wonderful way to give from your heart. New recipes are great to try, but if you are running out of time, try this no fail traditional peanut butter ball.

These are by far the absolutely best bread machine rolls that I have tried. I make them often, at least once or twice a week, and they go quickly in my home. In fact, I’ve had to make extra batches of these rolls and send them home with guests. My eldest child is now an expert at forming them.

You know how the day seems to get ahead of you faster than you anticipate? Before you know it, it is time to serve the kids lunch, make sure they eat it, clean it all up and then move on to the next adventure. Usually, moms eat whatever the kids are eating, if they eat lunch at all. But if you want something other than the usual chicken nuggets, grilled cheese or pasta for lunch, try one of the following recipes.

For all you chocolate lovers, I’m going to share with you one of my daughter’s favorite recipes for gluten free cookies. She uses it all the time. If you’re a chocolate fan, you will love these. They are very more-ish. Whenever she makes them, people rave over these cookies. Warning – they are very rich.
