  1. This stuff is KILLER!!! I served it with bread pudding and had not a drtop left!!!! This is a superb recipe that can be used as a sauce for so MANY things.... cakes,pies, bread puddings,gingerbread,pound cakes,the list goes on and on THANKS for a keeper!!!
     
  2. I made a scratch pound cake for a chocolate fondue a couple days ago and had about half of it left that I wanted to do something else with. So I made up a batch of my homemade chocolate pudding and this vanilla sauce. I cut two 1/4-inch slices of pound cake, covered it with chocolate pudding and then drizzled this vanilla sauce over it. Even picky eater (DD#2) had to have some of this! (picky eater DD#3 was sick with the flu, so she wasn't eating anything!) I used whole milk for the light cream and 35% Pure Vanilla Extract for the vanilla. Thank you for sharing a really lovely recipe Barbara!!! This one strikes me as being very versatile.
     
  3. I made this in the micro! Quick and easy! I`m serving it with Sunken Chocolate Souffle. Vanilla comes through nicely in this creamy sauce.
     
  4. Perfect for bread pudding! I used skim milk since I didn't have any cream or half and half. And I added a pinch of cornstarch since it was thin b/c of my sub of skim milk. Yum! Thanks for posting!
     
  5. Very delicious and easy! I used milk instead of cream and it was fine. I served it over a very rich chocolate souffle. The saltiness of the butter was a perfect complement to the sweet cholocate. Will definitly use this as my standard vanilla sauce.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
