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…

Creole Rice Pudding

Creole Rice Pudding by Amos Miller

NEVER throw day-old rice away! Next time you have that extra-large Chinese take out and you have some of that white rice left over, you have the base of a fabulous rice pudding, New Orleans-style! This is NOT the junk you have to choose from for dessert ("jello, rice pudding, sherbet") after the regrettable meal at the greasy spoon…

Creole Pralines

Creole Pralines by Amos Miller

Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy! It is time to play 'soft ball', and we're not talking the sport - we're talking Creole candy. When the recipe calls for your concoction on the stove to reach the…

Easy Candied Pecans by Salad Foodie

A snack for the gods! Sprinkle atop your favorite greens, blue cheese topped or chicken salad. For holiday entertaining leave the pecans in halves rather than chopping, and serve in a festive bowl.

Apricot Walnut Squares (A Bar Cookie)

Apricot Walnut Squares (A Bar Cookie) by Salad Foodie

CRUNCHY, CHEWY and MOIST. That sums up this pleasing amber-color bar cookie. The bottom crust gets extra crunch from bran cereal, while the top layer combines apricots and walnuts. This one-bowl recipe will be quick on cleanup, and that will give you more time to savor this unusual treat.

Peach Cobbler

Peach Cobbler by maribeth carson

This is a great old fashioned cobbler recipe defiantly worth the extra effort. My family enjoys this in their own unique ways. My hubby enjoys his cold with a sprinkle of sugar while I only like it hot with a sprinkle of sugar and dash of milk. My kids will eat it hot or cold with more than a sprinkle of sugar and dash of milk. I have…

Zucchini Chocolate Cake

Zucchini Chocolate Cake by Salad Foodie

If there's a most-requested recipe for my year this would be it. Mini-chocolate chips and chopped pecans serve as the "frosting" for this cake. I like to make this a day or night ahead, because I like the mini-chips to harden but if you like them soft and a little gooey, serve the same day.

Brownie S'Mores

Brownie S'Mores by Jane Evans Bonacci

I still like S’mores, but I’m grown up and seldom sit around a campfire anymore. Occasionally I’ll treat myself to some melted marshmallows after I finish grilling our dinner, but I wanted an easier way to get my treat, where I don't have to have a hot BBQ or be around a campfire! I used my own Classic Fudgy Brownie recipe and topped…

Black Swan Muffcakes...."Mmmmm, So Pink, So Pretty!"

Black Swan Muffcakes...."Mmmmm, So Pink, So Pretty!" by kathy gori

I'm a little late, okay about 4 or 5 days to the Muffcake party, but ever since Salty Seattle suggested them I cannot get them out of my head. Another thing I can't seem to get out of my head is the movie Black Swan. We get sent DVDs from the studios every year at this time, in order to vote for the screenplay awards. One of the films…

Granny Smith's Apple Pandowdy

Granny Smith's Apple Pandowdy by Amos Miller

Makes your eyes bug out & your stomach say "Howdy!" Fusion can be confusin', so let's get back to an ol' timey American dessert, not found on menus in fancy restaurants. This is just good country food, like I got when I'd have dinner at Nellie Keeling's home up Horse Mill Hollow, near Glasgow, W. Va. Pandowdy is a highly…
