	THE Bacardi Rum Cake.....adjusted for today's box cake mixes by Salad Foodie Several years ago Bacardi’s Rum Cake recipe used an 18 ½ ounce cake mix and box of instant vanilla pudding mix. Not long after that box cake mixes were developed with “pudding in the mix” which now are known as “super moist” or “deliciously moist.”…	12 votes 7 reviews 7 comments 88394 views
	Mrs. Harvey’s White Fruitcake by Salad Foodie Let me say right up front - fruitcake gets a bad rap. My theory is that many object to the darker types, with lots of spice and molasses. Or the sheer size or amount of this rich cake is enough to last folks til next Christmas. You will be pleasantly surprised though with Mrs. Harvey’s White Fruitcake. In the ’50s, Lucile Harvey…	2 votes 24301 views
	Creole Perfect Sweet Potato Pie by Amos Miller I have made this recipe for years. There is none better - or so I've been told by some serious and knowing Creole cooks. And while some may say "Well, it sounds just like a pumpkin pie recipe", they are sorely mistaken. This, my friends, is a Creole Sweet Potato Pie. This is the way to eat your vegetables! Vegetables and…	2 votes 2 comments 10279 views
	Christmas Jewels (Fruit Cake Cookies) by Salad Foodie A munchy spice cookie with loads of nuts. Mixed candied fruit adds the “jewel tones,” moisture and softness. These perky and tasty nuggets won’t last long on the cookie platter.	1 vote 2 comments 7096 views

In that article they noted…	5 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 11982 views
	Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies - HIGH ALTITUDE STYLE by Salad Foodie Think you can't improve on the Original Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe? You can if you live at a high altitude (3500 to 6000 feet) and you make the recommended adjustments by the Nestle Company. I have made these cookies since I was young…	2 votes 1 review 7903 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
	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	5 votes 5 reviews 2 comments 17998 views
	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…	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 17387 views
	Crowd-wowing Flat Apple Pie! by Salad Foodie In my all time top FAVS of pie recipes, this pastry is like a Texas-size turnover! Baked in a jelly roll pan, it’s a cinch to transport to meetings or parties, and even easier to serve. Be forewarned that there are some extra steps to this colossal pie, but don't special occasions merit them? A great addition to holiday dessert…	3 votes 2 reviews 12102 views
	Apple Harvest Cake by Salad Foodie For apple season this is a slam-dunk! It's especially pleasing for its moistness and chunks of apple, plus folks appreciate a cake without frosting for a change! This one's a keeper for your fall pot lucks! Single recipe makes an 8" x 8" size; double it for a 9" x 13" pan for pot lucks.	2 votes 3381 views
	Fabulous 3 Cherry Pie by Amos Miller Most folks don't have the luxury of owning a personal cherry orchard, so I modified this recipe using ingredients available at most stores. You'll save the picking and pitting time and end up with a fabulous pie that will thrill even those who say they do not care for cherry pie (I've had it happen). As a native-born…	4 votes 1 review 7 comments 7112 views
	Pumpkin Pineapple Walnut Cake by Salad Foodie Reminiscent of carrot cake, this recipe lends easily to sweetness modification or whole grain flour substitutions to your tastes. The first time around in making it I was tempted to tweak it using less sugar and oil. Good thing I didn't - Lou Seibert Pappas had it perfectly balanced for the masses in her "A Harvest of Pumpkins and…	1 vote 4737 views
	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.	4 votes 1 review 2 comments 16994 views
	Best Blueberry Bread Pudding with Lemoncello Sauce by Amos Miller This is cooking school 101. Easy - and impressive, which takes it to graduate school!
