Calypso Blondies by Adam Janowski

I so love blondies! Blondies are basically brownies without the cocoa and contain brown sugar instead of white sugar. Brownies seem so “old hat” these days. Few people make them from scratch and you see them everywhere from PTA meetings to school bake sales to church bazaars. Blondies are not seen as often and are really easy to make.…

Most cooks have a favorite carrot cake recipe, so this one is up for consideration to those who haven't singled one out yet!

Death by Chocolate Trifle by Marilyn Lesniak

This dessert should be called Suicide is Painless! I amde this in a trifle bowl as shown, but I think I would use a glass 9x11 dish nest time. After serving up a few portions the dessert started to fall in on itself and I was up to my elbows in sticky sweetness. It was surprisingly very light, and folks came back forcseconds and…

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…

Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts by To Catch A Cook

This is by far the BEST baked doughnut recipe I’ve tried yet. I combined a few recipes I found online and used the technique I usually use for cinnamon-sugar popovers for the topping. Good news – these are amazing fresh out of the oven but also keep well for a few days! I use a Wilton Standard Doughnut pan. Try this recipe for a…
