Skinny Springtime Sugar Cookies, Terrific for Easter by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

These colorful old-fashioned sugar cookies are crispy, delicate and buttery tasting. And, I’m using just a small amount of reduced-fat butter combined with canola oil. What a yummy, low calorie treat to make for Easter. Each skinny, mini cookie has 37 calories, less than 1 gram of fat and 1 Weight Watchers POINTS. Although I like…

Chinese Almond Cookies by Salad Foodie

A basic and delicious version of the popular Chinese cookie - minus the lard! I prefer sliced almonds throughout the dough rather than the single almond on top as we often see on those at Chinese buffets.

Top of the Line Banana Nut Bread by J. Gino Genovesi

This bread is light and tender yet firm,, and has a mixture of flavors appealing to the taste buds. I began cooking at any early age and mostly used family recipes. However, over the years I have tried many bread recipes and eventually came up with this one. The blend of orange and lemon is satisfying.

Oat Pecan Praline Cookies by Salad Foodie

Chewy, slightly soft texture with a hint of caramel pecan, these attractive cookies make a nice snack for company with coffee, tea or milk. Sometimes we bakers just have to break out of the oatmeal-raisin cookie rut, and these certainly do!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies by Salad Foodie

Zucchini cookies much like pumpkin cookies tend to have a cake-like texture rather than crisp or crunchy from the extra moisture of the vegetable. In this recipe the cookies come closer to a crisp/chewy texture through (1) extra draining step of the zucchini and (2) pressing the cookies down on cookie sheet before baking.

Wow, this is rich! The perfect chocolate bite! Yum!

They later designed a cookbook , and her recipe was…

Lemon Coconut Pixies by BearNakedBaker

I shape ( using an ice cream scoop #40) my cookies right after dough is made and then refrigerate.

Dazzling, Skinny Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Deep dark chocolate batter embraces chunks of ruby-colored cherries in this elegant cake. The light crimson glaze adds a touch of blush to the top and the overall flavor hints of chocolate-covered cherries. This is another one of my “no time to bake” cakes because I’m starting with a cake mix. Although there are a lot of ingredients…

Raspberry Topped Poppy Seed Cookies by Salad Foodie

A perfect dainty cookie for tea time, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or other special occasion. Buttery-rich, pretty and easy to make.

Almond Biscotti by Salad Foodie

Crunchy biscotti are my go-to coffee dunkers. The sweet toasts make a perfect hostess or holiday gift besides. This recipe features almonds but pecans or hazelnuts would be fine, with vanilla extract in place of almond.

Chocolate Fudge Cake (or Cupcakes) by Salad Foodie

Both batter and frosting are made with cocoa in this chocolate lover’s delight. Not as rich as Texas Sheet Cake, the recipe is a good choice for a birthday chocolate cake, so you can still have room for ice cream! An interesting side note - the texture of the cake only improves with age, and it slices and serves better too! Make it…

Banana Split Cupcakes by Cupcake Vixen

A yummy treat for anytime of the year!
