	Chocolate Miracle Cake by Jann from PA Also, known as Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake. Mayonnaise sounds like a weird cake ingredient, but it just replaces the eggs and oil. Actually, the cake was "invented" by Hellmann's because of food shortages during the war. It used Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise. But, Kraft's Foods was not to be upstaged, so they did their own recipe and…	2 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 9041 views
	Substitute Buttermilk for Sweet Milk in Baked Goods by Salad Foodie I love what buttermilk imparts to the texture and flavor of cakes and quick breads, so a pint of buttermilk is a baking staple in my refrigerator. When recipes call for milk and I want to replace that with buttermilk, I use the formula below. Of course you can reverse it and replace buttermilk with regular. Just remember to adjust…	2 votes 1 review 5022 views
	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…	17 votes 5 reviews 6 comments 32011 views

Cakes, cookies, apple dumplings, apple fritters, pies, cakes,breads etc you name it she made it. My Mom has tried many pound cake recipes but always comes back to this one because it…	2 votes 1 comment 10276 views
	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…	7 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 12238 views
	Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie I 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.	3 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 22431 views

	Cajun Bread Pudding with Praline Sauce by Amos Miller I am surprised more folks haven't tried this. I have been asked for this recipe more times than I can remember. I have served the following dish to more than 300 diners (at a time) and got a substantial number of raves, so I want to pass it on for anyone who wants something a little more like home, more New Orleans, more than a Red…	2 votes 10151 views

	Banana Nut Cake with Black Walnut Frosting by Salad Foodie Can'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. A unique change of pace from banana bread, the cake has a divinely light texture from buttermilk, and rich…	1 vote 8145 views
