Date Nut Torte
Whether I serve my torte with coffee at a luncheon or in the evening when friends visit, I always get compliments. My husband (we've been married 42 years), three children and five grandchildren are all good eaters, and it's a joy to prepare this dessert for them, too!
Cooking is something I've always enjoyed. I also like sewing, quilting and gardening. My husband and I travel by trailer as of9 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.
