Bundt Beauty Carrot Cake with/without Cream Cheese Frosting by Salad Foodie

Most cooks have a favorite carrot cake recipe, so this one is up for consideration to those who haven't singled one out yet! I have tweaked the recipe over time and it meets my needs for a healthier version than the typical recipe, yet satisfies the discriminating carrot cake lover's taste buds! I usually serve it plain with a…

Dazzling, Skinny Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Deep dark chocolate batter embraces chunks of ruby-colored cherries in this elegant cake. The light crimson glaze adds a touch of blush to the top and the overall flavor hints of chocolate-covered cherries. This is another one of my “no time to bake” cakes because I’m starting with a cake mix. Although there are a lot of ingredients…

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bar Cookies by Salad Foodie

Quick to make, these bar cookies are a sister version of drop cookies (the dough can actually be made into those if you prefer.) Oatmeal and nuts provide a light crunchiness to the moist and munchy texture. In brief - a delightful cookie your company will love!

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! This one's a keeper for your fall pot lucks! Single recipe makes an 8" x 8" size; double it for a 9" x 13" pan for pot lucks.

Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake by Dominick Costa

Summer is hands down my favorite time of year, especially being born and raised on the East Coast. I hate cold weather and snow and for me, fall and winter are just gloomy and depressing times of the year. On the other hand, I am very thankful for Pumpkin Season! I have already featured quite a few pumpkin recipes, but there sure…

The Perfect Brownie by A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis

With all the recent posts about Brownies, I couldn't hold out any longer..... When I have a chocolate craving and I want it to be perfect, there is only one person I turn to, Alice Medrich the Queen of Chocolate. While her recipe couldn't be any simpler, I did make just a few adjustments, not to the recipe of course (all though I…

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…

Fabulous 3 Cherry Pie by Amos Miller

Most folks don't have the luxury of owning a personal cherry orchard, so I modified this recipe using ingredients available at most stores. You'll save the picking and pitting time and end up with a fabulous pie that will thrill even those who say they do not care for cherry pie (I've had it happen). As a native-born…

Zucchini Chocolate Cake - Solar Baked! with conventional oven option by Salad Foodie

One of my absolute favorites and most requested cake recipes is this yummy chocolate cake. Couldn't wait til summer's over to turn the oven on indoors, so I just heated up the solar oven outside! What I especially like is the self-frosting the mini-…

At Easter, the sweet traditional is la Mona, a sweet bread with a boiled egg that gives to the godchildren. Do you know the history of the Mona?,

Pumpkin Pineapple Walnut Cake by Salad Foodie

Reminiscent of carrot cake, this recipe lends easily to sweetness modification or whole grain flour substitutions to your tastes. The first time around in making it I was tempted to tweak it using less sugar and oil. Good thing I didn't - Lou Seibert Pappas had it perfectly balanced for the masses in her "A Harvest of Pumpkins and…

Banana Cupcakes by Krystina Castella

Black Cherry Crumble by Amos Miller

I originally saw Paula Deen make her version of this dish and I came up with a couple of really good modifications which folks have liked when I served it for dessert. I believe this is an improved recipe. I made this with gluten free (and lactose intolerant) diners in mind, but you can feel free to subtitute regular flour where…

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

Chewy, nutty, spicy and soft - cookies to serve holiday company or take to share at work or meetings. Change ingredients out to your liking - use raisins or Craisins; walnuts or pecans; all-purpose or white whole wheat flour; and brown sugar blend or other combination of baking sweetener in place of, or part of the sugar. Have it…
