Everything Goes Oatmeal Coookies by J. Gino Genovesi

This 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

Dump cake by Candice Goodyear

I love this because you can get your fruit serving and cure your sweet tooth all in one slice. You can use cake recipe from scratch but homemade cakes don't seem to come out as moist as cake mixes.

Tiramisu Brownie Cake by Robyn Savoie

A great make ahead option to prepare a dessert in advance. It’s a divine combination of a chewy, fudgy, brownie and an authentic Italian tiramisu. This is both easy and complicated. The brownie layer is the easy part because it uses things that you already have on hand. While the tiramisu with its mascarpone, espresso and…

The Best Carrot Cake Ever by Stan Jenkins

Rosalie Williams made the best carrot cake when I was a child. It was her specialty at church dinners. As an adult, I got her recipe because I remembered how great it was. It doesn't have a cream cheese icing but rather a delicious buttermilk glaze. I don't have any photos but plan to make this for a family gathering and will…

Triple-Play Chocolate Drop Cookies with Mocha Frosting by Salad Foodie

Skinny Fall Apple Cake With Caramel Glaze by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

What a super yummy, easy to make, apple cake. It’s loaded with great fall flavors including tons of apple flavor since I’m adding fresh chopped apples, applesauce and apple juice to the cake mix. 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…

oatmeal dark chocolate chip cookies by Michelle Antol

These 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…

Incredible Chocolate Chip Cookies by J. Gino Genovesi

We all know there are many recipes for chocolate chip cookies, with many things added to them. But for a soft, plump, cookie this one is the best I think. I have tried different chocolate chips recipes, but I was not happy with a flat, thin cookie.. Enjoy!

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.
