Sausage stuffed mushrooms by Jennifer

I've been perfecting these throughout the years and now they are my biggest requested appetizer for get-togethers and holidays! I don't make many things well but these are by far the best thing I make! Even our Chef at our restaurant wanted this recipe! This is based on using 2 large packages of large button mushrooms.

Autumn Survival Comfort Bars by Emily H

The original name for this recipe was "survival bars", which originated in the fact that my partner used to make them for me during stressful, time-crunch periods in university. However, the name is a little misleading as there are many super calorie-nutrient rich bars out there also called survival bars. While fairly healthful, these…

An apple cake - dessert, sweet and filled with apples.

Lemony Rolled Sugar Cookies by Jesika Feldman

My friend came over a few weeks ago and asked me to help her make gluten free sugar cookies. What we came up with was a soft, chewy cookie with crisp edges from rolling them in sugar before baking. They’re light, sweet, and fluffy with a bit of tang from the addition of cream cheese and from lemon juice. They’re perfect to brighten…

Yummy na…J I got the same feeling when I tried out this recipe of vegan chocolate cake.…

Solar-Baked Banana Bread by Salad Foodie

Too hot to bake nut breads? Get the solar cooker out and keep your cool! Just about anything you bake in the conventional oven has a complimentary solar-cooking method. This is my best banana bread recipe and when it’s cooler this fall I’ll post the same recipe baked conventionally. But here using only El Sol for the cooking energy,…

Giant Valentine Heart Cookie (It’s a Puzzle Too!) by Salad Foodie

What fun this is, to get a giant heart cookie that is a jigsaw puzzle too! Package pieces in a box, or stack pieces and tie with perky ribbon to surprise the kids (and kids of all ages.) This dough has 2 cups of oatmeal which makes for a crunchy and unusual sugar cookie. One batch makes two giant cookies that cut into 10 or more…

Spinach and Cheese Quiche by Mellie Duffy

I use fat-free evaporated milk instead of cream to reduce fat and 2 eggs and 3 egg whites to reduce cholesterol. It's still really good!

Kuchen by Carolinaheartstrings

March recipes are all about getting back to our roots here at Carolina HeartStrings. Mine mainly being German/Russian I decided to begin with one of my favorite treats when I was a child. My maternal grandmother was of German/Russian descent. Born in Russia, she immigrated as a baby to the United States. She settled with her family…

Strawberry Mini Donuts by Carolinaheartstrings

Are donuts just for breakfast? Well, I don’t think so, but since we’re doing breakfast items as our April food theme Tammie and I thought that our Sweet Taste of Saturdays would center around these tasty treats. Since my Sweetie is a strawberry cake fan I was inspired to try a strawberry donut and used the little mini donut baker…
