In the kitchen this week I wanted something different. I happened to see a recipe from my friend Patricia Nicholes and to the kitchen I went and stirred up this delicious cake. You can’t go wrong if it says grandma and this recipe is Grandma’s Apple Pecan Cake.

I just happened to have apples and pecans so I thought, “Yes, let’s make a cake,” so here it is. I like Grandma’s Apple Pecan Cake because it is not too sweet and it’s moist.

Please send in your favorite recipes, along with a story about the recipe if there is one, and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send the recipes to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456.

Have a great week!
