Rock Cakes are an old teatime favorite, somewhat similar to scones but typically enjoyed on their own, without being split and topped with jam, butter, or cream. Best savored with a cup of tea, these delightful cakes feature dried fruit and currants scattered throughout, with a crunchy exterior and a soft, tender center.

Cudighi Sandwich
The Cudighi is a beloved sandwich native to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, particularly in Marquette County. It’s especially popular among both locals and travelers who discover this regional specialty and enjoy making their own homemade versions, often customizing the spice blend to their liking. The sausage is a spiced Italian Cotechino-like patty served on a hard roll, usually topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. Variations often include grilled onions and peppers. Though its origins trace back to Northern Italy, the Cudighi has evolved into a unique staple distinct to the Upper Peninsula.

Banana Walnut Cake by Pioneer Woman
This Banana walnut cake makes a great upgrade to a classic banana bread – a perfect after school treat!. What I love most about this cake, and perhaps you would too, is that it combines ripe sweet bananas with crunchy walnuts without any frosting that hinders the aroma of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. And if you miss frosting, I suggest the cinnamon frosting in this other banana bread recipe. Otherwise, while the cake is still warm you can try pouring some brandy sauce used in my brandied banana fritters recipe.
