Some of our readers' favorite recipes have come from the pages of newspapers and magazines.
Grandma’s Red Velvet Cake
In our family, no one thinks it’s Christmas without this Red Velvet Cake recipe. I baked the first one for Christmas in 1963 when I found the recipe in the newspaper and my Mother kept the tradition going into the ’80s. It’s different than other Red Velvet Cakes I’ve tasted over the years since this one tastes only mildly chocolate and the icing is as light as snow. —Kathryn H. Davison, Charlotte, North Carolina. I'm baking my way through quarantine, and here's why you should be too.
Chocolate-Raspberry Whoopie Pies
I’ve saved this jam-filled whoopie pie recipe for years after cutting it out of a newspaper. It’s one of my grandson's personal favorites. —Nancy Foust, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania

Tuscan-Style Chicken
I found this Italian-style chicken recipe in a magazine and tweaked it to my family's tastes.
