Big Ole Southern Biscuits w/ Flax SeedsNothing says southern hospitality like big, hot and buttery biscuits. I learned the basics of "ho' cakes" by the time I was 10 years old. This recipe pairs well with just about anything and has a healthy dose of one of the new super foods- flax seeds. These decadent biscuits go especially well with another southern favorite,… |

FRESH APPLE CAKEI love this cake. Anything with fruit and nuts is wonderful as far as I'm concerned. This cake is great without frosting, however, if you wish, you can frost with cream cheese or vanilla frosting. |

Nut Tree Drop CookiesThe Nut Tree (Vacaville CA, off I-80) has been a landmark tourist stop for over eighty years. The restaurant, at its zenith in the 70's and 80's, was an early pioneer of California cuisine featuring fresh fruits and vegetables, and recipes of popular menu items were offered for sale in the gift shop. The original restaurant from that… |

Aunt Birdie’s Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Two Versions)This recipe brings fond memories of a favorite aunt who was a terrific cook. (My cousin and I used to say the only thing we wanted when Aunt Birdie passed away was her recipe box!) The recipe works equally well as a Bundt cake or as a 9" x 13" cake. This is the only sour cream coffee cake recipe I’ve ever seen that starts with a… |

Solar-Baked Banana BreadToo 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,… |

Guilt-free Chicken Nuggets, Oh YeahMost kids love McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. I’m sure many grown-ups do too. But, they are so unhealthy! Happily, not my skinny ones! No deep frying here…I’m using skinless, white meat chicken and baking them. The bread crumb coating has a wonderful flavor similar to barbecue potato chips. The skinny for 6 chicken nuggets only 203… |

Budget Bisquik Peanut Butter Oatmeal CookiesNo eggs. No milk. Ingredients you have on-hand. Yup, this recipe was born of innovation late one night when I wanted something sweet. And, at a cost of less than 10 cents per cookie, they're perfect for bake sales or parties. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger batches and is VERY forgiving of variations. Try… |

Hard Boiled Eggs for cooks who can't boil waterForget the boiling water, colander, cracks and boil-outs. Hard "Boiled" Eggs made in the oven are easier, quicker, tastier and less prone to cracks and they are easier to peel. Who needs boiling water? |

oatmeal dark chocolate chip cookiesThese cookies are so soft and chewy, you can't tell these are healthy for you! Of course, I couldn't just make regular cookies with white flour. The whole wheat flour gives it a nutty flavor without having that full wheat taste. Adding the wheat germ gives it a nutritional boost that blends in with the batter without you ever tasting… |
