	Lemon Pastry Squares (a.k.a Lemon Brownies) - a new take on Lemon Bars! by Salad Foodie This recipe has been circulating around the Internet as “Lemon Brownies”, but I think it deserves a more descriptive name. These treats are a delicacy and are more “dainty” than brownies. They have no chocolate, are not brown, and NOT as sweet nor…	17 votes 5 reviews 6 comments 32011 views
	Banana Nut Cake with Black Walnut Frosting by Salad Foodie Can't believe my history of baking this cake but it's true! Nearly 50 years ago I begged a school cafeteria for its recipe and it was mine for the asking! It is so easy to make and always a pleaser at pot lucks and bake sales. A unique change of pace from banana bread, the cake has a divinely light texture from buttermilk, and rich…	1 vote 8145 views
	Apfelkuchen (German Apple Cake) with Almond Apple Cake Variation by Salad Foodie This recipe takes me back over 50 years when I lived in Germany. My landlady Mathilda would treat me to this pastry and one day I asked her for the recipe. She agreed to show me how to make it, if I taught her how to make American lemon meringue pie!…	5 votes 3 reviews 3 comments 19033 views
	Skinny Fall Apple Cake With Caramel Glaze by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox What a super yummy, easy to make, apple cake.

The skinny for each slice, 220 calories, 5 grams of fat and 6 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. Leave the glaze off and this cake has 5 Weight…	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 17387 views
	Apple Harvest Cake by Salad Foodie For apple season this is a slam-dunk! It's especially pleasing for its moistness and chunks of apple, plus folks appreciate a cake without frosting for a change!

	Hummingbird Sheet Cake by Salad Foodie Southern Living Magazine is credited with first publishing Hummingbird Cake recipe in 1978, submitted by Mrs. L.H. Wiggins of Greensboro, N.C. No one knows for sure how this cake got its name, but most likely because the whimsical little bird it’s named for is a symbol of sweetness (or maybe because the cake tastes so good you want…	1 vote 3 comments 17352 views
	Aunt Birdie’s Easy Sour Cream Coffee Cake (Two Versions) by Salad Foodie 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…	1 vote 8324 views

Or just bake it, slice into individual servings and freeze for a…	1 vote 4 comments 6688 views

	Roasted Banana Bars with Browned Butter Pecan Frosting by Salad Foodie This recipe was a finalist in Cooking Light Magazine's "Twenty-five Favorite Dessert Recipes" several years ago. The notion of roasting a banana intrigued me so I was up to the challenge of trying it out. MY VERDICT: THEY ARE VERY TASTY AND I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN. However, they are more cake-like than bar-like, and the extra steps,…	1 vote 1620 views
