Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce by Amos Miller

I am surprised more folks haven't tried this. I have been asked for this recipe more times than I can remember. I have served the following dish to more than 300 diners (at a time) and got a substantial number of raves, so I want to pass it on for anyone who wants something a little more like home, more New Orleans, more than a Red…

Foolproof Sugar Cookie Recipe by Annette Vlahos

This recipe is the best sugar cookie recipe ever! There is no mess with a pastry board full of flour! I use parchment paper to roll out the dough. And I get my sprinkles from www.MillCreekCountryStore.com. They have a variety of colors for every holiday.

Pecan Pie by Andrea Faz

Although I commonly make this pie during the holiday season, I sometimes like to bake this pie during other times of the year. It is super decadent, and ridiculously easy!

MILK CHOCOLATE FLORENTINE LACE COOKIES by London Glendenning

These ended up tasting like the kind sold at Trader Joe's or World Market- excluding the carmel drizzle that the store bought versions have.

Cumin and Coriander BBQ Pork Spareribs by Mihir Shah

I had this at a friends house over the weekend - they made two kinds of ribs. A more "traditional" slab with light spice and honey, and this gem. I actually returned some of the traditional slab to the serving plate so I could make room for this winner! The best part of this recipe is the mix of cumin and coriander in the dry rub.…

Vegan Black Bean Coconut Brownies by Jill

AWESOME! Not your traditional brownie, but these are really good and really healthy too! I"ve only made this using my Vita-mix but I'm sure a regular blender will work too, just take a bit longer. When you are ready to purchase your own Vita-mix you can use code 06-003085 for free shipping. So simple, easy and quick. Totally…
