Pecan Pie

Pecan pie is a thanksgiving classic. It’s only good if it’s dark brown sugar and dark corn syrup. Toasting the pecans is also a must.

Christmas Raspberry Crunch

Mom loved making this, especially around Christmas time! Every year, the first Sunday of the month, the Tabernacle at Temple Square and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints put on a Christmas devotional. Beautiful singing. Inspiring messages. Christmas Spirit. We’d often invite a family over to eat this dessert after the show.

Southern Bread Pudding

This is another recipe mom received from her good friend Kim Caldwell. We loved bread pudding! It was a common dessert on a Sunday evening. Later, mom would make a savory variation. She would cut some of the sugar, add sharp cheddar cheese and sausage. We’d eat it with pure maple syrup on Christmas morning!

Chocolate Chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a classic at our house. We all love them! I remember Mom making these for my friends and I when we stopped at our house to deliver mom her Valagram (a yearly choir fundraiser where we would get paid to sing love songs). She also sent me on a few trips with a 9x13 full of these. I was supposed to share, but I definitely ate to many and got sick.

Chocolate Caramel Tart

This tart is rich and delicious! It almost tastes like a giant truffle! Mom would make this occasionally. I mainly remember eating it for Jordan’s birthday because he loved it so much!

Fresh Peach Pie

Peach Pie will always be a classic in the Hatch home. Mom would make these multiple times every peach season. Sometimes, she would make several per week! We all loved fresh peach pie with freshly whipped cream on top.

Flaky Pie Crust

Julie made the best pie crusts. They were flaky, buttery, and delicious. We could always tell that making pie crust made mom a little anxious because it is such a delicate art. None of us really quite understood her anxiety until after her passing. The pie crust making mantle was passed onto us and we began to fail, succeed, and fail making her delicious pie crusts.

Cream Cheese Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

Mom never made cupcakes, except for these! The cream cheese perfectly balances out the chocolate.
