Potluck Apricot Cobbler by Salad Foodie

An old-fashioned cobbler makes a hit with crowds and one of my favorite cobbler fruits is apricots. These perky golden first fruits of summer have a nice balance of sweet and tart. Fresh in-season fruit is preferred, but I have often used my stash of frozen cots from season’s past, and they work well for cobblers, as do canned. This…

Date and Walnut Chews by Salad Foodie

This confection is perfect for special occasions or holiday socials. The dates provide chewy aspects while the nuts give it crunch! A sweet treat that is easy to make and keeps well.

Banana Wrap by BearNakedBaker

Great for snack or Breakfast.... I NEVER microwave anything (don't own one either) so this is entirely up to you. I simply warm my tortilla in a warmed pan, and sometimes I don't warm at all....

Banana Nut Appetizer by Wendi Taylor

These quartered slices of fresh bananas with mayo and pecans make a delicious appetizer course for your holiday meal or dinner party.

Blueberry Buckle by Salad Foodie

Chock full of blueberries, the tender and not-too-sweet cake batter produces a mid-morning coffee cake or dessert ‘extraordinaire’! A light streusel-like topping bakes to a fine crunchy top and it does indeed buckle or crumple a bit!

Banana Bran Muffins by Salad Foodie

These muffins are delicious, and so healthy! Over time I have tweaked the original recipe until I got it just right and this version is the keeper!

Crock Pot Chunky Applesauce by Salad Foodie

A great way to “use up” apples. I do even if they’re starting to wrinkle and wink at me. I use up any variety of apple on hand, but of course cooking apples have that nice edge, don’t they? In recent years temperatures of slow cookers have increased. I start mine out on LOW; after a while if it’s cooking too fast, I switch it to…

Ruby Red Strawberry Pie by Salad Foodie

Couldn't be an easier pie to make - and perfect for summer's lighter menu fare. A nice do-ahead gelatin dessert that takes just minutes to prepare. You can "have your pie and eat it too" for less than 150 calories per slice when you make a few changes to the recipe below: just substitute no-added-sugar gelatin, reduced-fat graham…

Breakfast Frozen Fruit Pops by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Yes, in deed, these icy pops are nutritious enough to enjoy even for breakfast! We’ve taken our recipe for Jamba Juice’s Pomegranate Paradise Smoothie and filled a pop mold. This is one of Jamba’s very popular “all fruit” smoothies. It’s just juice and frozen fruit! Most of their original smoothies contain frozen yogurt or sherbet,…

My Skinny McCafé Strawberry Shake by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Take creamy fat-free ice cream and milk, add loads of luscious strawberries and such and the results are pure deliciousness! It’s so flavorful, it doesn’t need to be topped off with whipped cream and a cherry like many choose to do at McDonald’s. Their shake is not even made with real strawberries! McDonald’s uses a strawberry…

Phoebe's Plum Sauce by Salad Foodie

This snappy sauce goes well with poultry, pork, beef, meatloaf and as an eggroll dipping sauce. The spices and hot sauce add just the right punch to this ruby red beauty. Make a batch during the peak plum season and you'll enjoy all winter long. Processed jars make attractive holiday gifts too. Recipe can be doubled but the standing…

Tropical Snowdrops by BearNakedBaker

The dried fruit can be anything you'd like, that's "Tropical". Cashews are also good to use....
