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.

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…

Deep-South Amalgamation Cake by J. Gino Genovesi

This is an old fashion ,traditional dessert in the South. It apparently has been around for many years. One can add just about anything in this cake , and it will stand out as a big winner. It takes many steps and patience, but the wait is worth it. This is not an original recipe but I have made some changes.

Warm Chocolate Pudding Cakes by Deanie Fox

This is one of my favorites. Relatively easy to make and ridiculously good. Wow them with this one!

Mincemeat Cookies ~ The Old Fashioned Way by Amos Miller

I have always loved mincemeat - pie with vanilla ice cream or cookies and cocoa. This is how we make them, except here I will substitute Borden's Nonesuch Mincemeat, or Robertson's (preferred) in a jar instead of homemade mincemeat. You can substitute your favorite shortening (vegetable works great) while I will use rendered leaf…

Cranberry Torte by Salad Foodie

An elegant dessert recipe that makes a showy finale to the holiday meal. It’s a make-ahead and freeze recipe, which will simplify matters on the day you’ll use it. When it’s time for dessert, remove from freezer, add the glaze and serve. A stand mixer works best to whip the filling if available: be sure bowl and beaters are clean and…

Chewy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bar Cookies by Salad Foodie

Quick to make, these bar cookies are a sister version of drop cookies (the dough can actually be made into those if you prefer.) Oatmeal and nuts provide a light crunchiness to the moist and munchy texture. In brief - a delightful cookie your company will love!

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

Chewy, nutty, spicy and soft - cookies to serve holiday company or take to share at work or meetings. Change ingredients out to your liking - use raisins or Craisins; walnuts or pecans; all-purpose or white whole wheat flour; and brown sugar blend or other combination of baking sweetener in place of, or part of the sugar. Have it…

Yogurt creamy CHOCOLATE fondue dip...just 4 ingredients! by Foodessa

With all recipes of the typical Chocolate Fondues combined, none have come close to this light, scrumptious and decadent guiltless version. Over the years and many experimental tries later, I finally managed to make the ingredients blend just right. The fact that there's no need for a bottom burner to keep the chocolate soft and…

NUTTY flourless cookie CRISPS < Brutti ma Buoni > by Foodessa

Got a few egg whites left over from a recipe? Here's a super easy crispy, flourless cookie called < Brutti ma Buoni >. It's an Italian saying...loosely translated as ugly looking (not really) but yummy. Originally made with roasted hazelnuts...however, re-created to include roasted almonds instead. I also reduced much of the…

Swooning over a sumptuously spirited gourmet Italian TiraMiSù. Fluffy, creamy and possessing a lighter velvety texture than most versions. The spirited use of Tia Maria and Grand Marnier are only a part of this dessert's fabulous outcome. Here's my simple method of assembling this delight. ' La Dolce Vita ' from my heart to your…
