Applesauce Cake by Farrell May Podgorsek

This cake is big on warm, spicy flavors. It is simple to make and stays moist for days. Homemade applesauce is so easy to make and I think makes the best cake, but of course you can use applesauce from the store. Stay away from sweetened applesauce for this cake. It is sweet enough without added sugars. I make two 8x4 loaf pan cakes…

Thai Vegan Coconut Ice Cream by The Blender Girl

This vegan coconut ice cream was inspired by my many trips to Thailand and is absolutely divine! One really important thing about making coconut ice cream – the base must be really well chilled before churning in the ice cream maker or the ice cream will be too soft and slushy. Try and chill it for a minimum of three or fours hours.…

Poached Pears by Salad Foodie

A favorite fall dessert or breakfast fruit when pears are in season. This is a Better Homes and Garden Cookbook recipe, and the only liberty I take at times is to replace part or all of the sugar with Splenda (depending on guests and their diet requirements.) I often double the recipe (and 4 x the poaching liquid) and store pears in…

These scones make for a remarkable strawberry shortcake, though they are delicious on their own with coffee as well.

Pear Pie by Jasmine Donnell

This is a great pie that is comparable to an apple pie, but it doesn't seem as sweet. The pears and cinnamon work wonderful together. Add some whipped cream for a perfect amount of extra subtle sweetness. Bosc pears work best for winter season. For a more complex flavor, use a few different types of pears or a different pear for…
