	Meyer Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake by Foodiewife I have made this recipe numerous times, as a loaf cake. I use Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, but any kind of yogurt will work well. The yogurt and oil (instead of butter) is the key to the moistness of the cake. While the cake is still warm, a simple syrup of lemon juice and sugar is poured on and the final touch is a simple lemon glaze.…	17 votes 7 reviews 6 comments 84198 views
	Easy Cranberry & Apple Cake (Ina Garten) by Foodiewife This recipe comes from "The Barefoot Contessa". Ina Garten says that this recipe is inspired by a cranberry pie from Sarah Chase's book Cold Weather Cooking. Her friend Barbara Liberman calls it "easy cake"—I call it delicious. When cranberries are in season, serve it with vanilla ice cream and your friends will love you. I have to…	2 votes 1 review 13172 views
	Applesauce Cake with Penuche Frosting by Foodiewife Applesauce cake is one of my favorite cakes-- especially during fall season. That's when I can my supply of homemade apple sauce. This cake is ultra-moist with fall spices such as cinnamon, cloves and allspice. The penuche frosting goes perfectly with this cake, in my humble opinion. It's a cooked brown sugar frosting-- that has a…	3 votes 1 comment 6469 views
	Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie (no corn syrup) by Foodiewife I've always been lukewarm about Pecan Pie, and if I did indulge, I'd eat a tiny sliver. The filling always seemed so cloyingly sweet that I wasn't a fan-- until now! I made this recipe using maple syrup. The filling set perfectly and was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect balance of sweet, and just the right ratio of pecan. I…	1 vote 3735 views
	Creamy Homemade Rice Pudding, Pressure Cooker Style by Foodiewife If you don't own a pressure cooker, you can still make this recipe on the stove top. You just have to cook this for an hour. With a pressure cooker, I can make this in 16 minutes! This is the creamiest and tastiest rice pudding I've ever had! The Arborio rice, is one of the reasons why. The starchiness of this rice adds to the creamy…	2 votes 4 comments 16786 views
	Peppermint Cream Pie by Foodiewife What I most look forward to, during the Christmas Holidays, is peppermint. Peppermint and Chocolate are a perfect pairing, and this pie has both of those components. The pie crust is made with chocolate wafers. The filling is "no bake" with whipping cream, gelatin, and plenty of peppermint extract and bits of peppermint candy. After…	1 vote 3473 views
	Perfect Pâte Brisée Tart Dough by Foodiewife I used this dough to make Meyer Lemon Tartlets and loved it so much, that I wanted to save the recipe as a "stand alone". I'm not a big fan of American pie crusts, but I do love a good shortbread and buttery tart crust. This one turned out to be very tender, and I loved the lemon zest. Baked and filled with homemade lemon curd and…	2 votes 3146 views
	Creamy Cheesecake with Caramel Sauce and Biscoff Cookie Crust--Pressure Cooker Style in 15 minutes! by Foodiewife I made this cheesecake in my pressure cooker, and it "baked" in 15 minutes. That's 75% faster than using a conventional oven. The beauty of making cheesecakes in a pressure cooker, is that the steam mimics using a water bath-- which yields a moist and…	1 vote 5248 views
	Aunt Esther's Sugar Cookies by Foodiewife I have no idea who Aunt Esther is/was, but I'd sure like to thank her for this recipe. The first time I tasted these, I asked my friend if they'd share the recipe-- and they did! I've made many delicious sugar cookie recipes, but this one is now ranked #1 favorite cookie of all time-- by my family and friends. When cooked, they are…	1 vote 3667 views
	Blueberry and Cream Cheese Galette by Foodiewife I made this blueberry sauce to spoon over homemade pancakes, and had two cups left over. I was inspired to bake something with it, and then I began to think of blueberry and cream cheese! How good would that be? I love making Galettes, because they are a little less labor intensive than making two-crust pies. I made the dough in the…	1 vote 4840 views
	Homemade Marshmallow Creme by Foodiewife I try to keep a jar of marshmallow creme in my pantry. I've always wanted to make my own, and today was the day. It's actually very easy to make, but you really do need a candy thermometer. After making this recipe, it was hard to not eat this by giant spoonfuls. It.is.so.good.you.want.to.eat.it.all I definitely have plans for this.…	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 4411 views
	Black Licorice Caramels by Foodiewife If you don't like black licorice, please don't assume these caramels won't taste good. I promise you, that they are chewy and yet become soft, as you begin to enjoy them. They have just the slightest hint of licorice, with notes of vanilla and butter. Even "licorice haters" liked these. Licorice lovers (like myself) went crazy over…	1 vote 1 comment 4136 views
	Glazed Slab Apple Pie by Foodiewife After childhood years of growing up with frozen apple pie, I could never get excited about them. This recipe has made me to a changed Apple Pie advocate. There are three factors for my conversion-- #1- The crust: shortening, egg and vinegar makes this so tender #2- The fresh apples are Fall's first offerings #3- The pie is formed on a…	1 vote 3755 views
	White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread Cookies by Foodiewife This recipe made the rounds at Christmas on Fine Cooking and several food blogs. The original recipe comes from Better Homes & Garden Magazine. I decided to take an easy shortcut, rolling the dough into log and storing them in parchment paper. Two days later, I sliced and baked them. Easy! They are very addicting, and are deemed a…	1 vote 4897 views
