Recipes from Eating Heaven

As with the music in Riding with the Queen, I wanted the food in Eating Heaven to be representative of feelings, moods, even eras, which is why I used a lot of comfort foods and old-time-family-favorite kinds of dishes, like the following:

• Ellie's Boeuf Bourguignon Lite
• Benny's Favorite Spice Cake
• Cream Cheese Frosting
• Dad's Shecret Shauce
• Old-fashioned Pineapple Upside Down Cake
• Oatmeal Cookies with nuts, no raisins
