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…

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie by Salad Foodie

How about a foot-wide chocolate chip cookie for a party or gift? This treat is quick and easily portable. Chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I like this one especially. It’s Wilton’s Chocolate Chip Cookie For Giant Cookie Pans, and never fails for me to bake to chewy perfection. Add a few icing decorations or pieces of candy…

Faux Chocolate Silk Pie by Salad Foodie

A chocolate lover’s delight and so easy for Easter or Mother’s Day dessert. Rich and smooth, this take on French chocolate silk pie has a secret - tofu replaces heavy cream! But no one will know the difference - unless you tell! I tried this out on my unsuspecting son who avoids tofu-anything. He sampled it, then scarfed the whole…

"Ice Cream" Frosting by J. Gino Genovesi

I have made this many times and have had positive reactions, especially when people are told it is made with flour. It is easy to make; costs little and is pleasing to the taste. Use of creamed fruits makes it even more delightful.. It is labor saving. It is great used on cupcakes also .

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

A different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly.

Chocolate and Grand Marnier Souffle Cakes by Debi Shawcross

Individual souffle like chocolate/orange cakes

Lemon Cream Pie by myra byanka

Use fresh lemon or lime juice, and pieshell of choice. See links. This pie typically has a meringue topping, but I just use Cool Whip, not being much of a meringue fan.

Exquisite Banana/apple bread by J. Gino Genovesi

The taste when one combines bananas and apples, along with spices is exquisite. It is fun to experiment with a variety of fruits and vegetables. Try this and you will say ah.

Favorite Gingerbread Cake by Salad Foodie

Gingerbread cake addicts, rejoice - this recipe makes the right size gingerbread cake for a crowd! Lightly moist and lightly sweet, this version I developed over time is a good fit for a holiday dessert or treat for company. I like just a dusting of powdered sugar rather than a frosting. It’s my gingerbread cake FAV - hope you’ll try…
