Halloween Finger Cookies

Halloween Finger Cookies by John Spottiswood

These taste like a rich biscotti. But the best thing about them is the spooky Halloween look! Try serving them at a Halloween party or bringing them to work. It feels creepy to eat them!

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake

St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake by Nancy Miyasaki

I made this cake in advance of St. Patick's Day to test if it would be worthy of that occassion. I was a little bit skeptical given the packaged ingredients, but it turned out wonderfully. Our dinner guests and our kids both loved it! When sliced, the inside of the cake has a nice green tint to it which is not visible in the photos…

World Champion Oatmeal Bars

World Champion Oatmeal Bars by Nancy Miyasaki

I make a lot of tasty brownies and bars, but few have gotten more raves than these. Of course, I served them to a bunch of SF Giants fans after the Giants won game 2 of the 2010 World Series...so the taste of victory may have mixed in with the chocolate, caramel, and oatmeal crunch of these yummy bars. Even without savoring the…

Addiction Brownies

Addiction Brownies by Nancy Miyasaki

My friend Joelle brought these to our book club last week and they were a huge hit! Her family affectionately calls them "crack brownies". I had to soften that up a bit...but wanted to capture the fact that these really are addictive! This is adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe.

Williams Sonoma Triple Chocolate Brownies

Williams Sonoma Triple Chocolate Brownies by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a very popular recipe that I simplified a bit without losing any of it's goodness. You can serve these when you feel like a dark chocolate cake but don't have time to hassle with it. They make a wonderful end to any meal! They are super chocolaty, so they go really well with a scoop of vanilla or coffee ice cream!

Easy Cake Mix Oatmeal Craisin Cookies by Denise Sherin

Using a Spice Cake mix adds great flavor to the cookies. I like Craisins but you could use raisins or dried cherrys too.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting by Shawn Christopher

When you're gluten free, there are certain things that you really miss. Chocolate cake and cupcakes were one of the things Shawn yearned for and I vowed to make them. These are super yummy and will delight everyone, gluten free or not.

'Tis the season for cookie making! Get in the spirit with these tender, bite-size peppermint cookies. They will look pretty on your holiday cookie plate. Especially if you make them using the red peppermints and the green spearmint candies and red/green food coloring for the filling.

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing

Pumpkin Cookies with Icing by Nancy Miyasaki

I served these at my October book club along with the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars. They were good, and the icing makes them attractive, but the Pumpkin Macadamia Bars were the bigger hit. That said, they make an attractive combination and it's fun to try one of each. So if you are looking for a nice combination of sweets to put out on…

Eggless Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake

Eggless Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake by Sensibleveg

If you go and google Vegan Chocolate Cake or Eggless Chocolate Cake, this is one of the most popular recipe you will run across in several sites. Looks like this whacky vegan chocolate cake recipe is around for years and is a definite keeper. I just made a few changes to suit my preferences by substituting All purpose flour with…
