Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad FoodieI haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen. |

Banana Nut Cake with Black Walnut Frosting by Salad FoodieCan'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.

Everything Goes Oatmeal Coookies by J. Gino GenovesiThis is an original recipe. I was making them, years ago, because my children wanted a "loaded" oatmeal cookie that was good, soft and plump. Now my grand children like them and I thought I would pass it on so others can enjoy them. They are easy to prepare and delicious. Chef J. Gino Genovesi |
