	Pumpkin White Chocolate Macadamia Bars by Nancy Miyasaki These were a huge hit at my October book club! You've never tasted anything quite like them...but you need to. These will make a beautiful display for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Try making them with the Pumpkin Cookies with Icing that I posted. They make a beautiful combination (see photo together). But if you just have time to…	7 votes 3 reviews 2 comments 6824 views
	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!	5 votes 2 reviews 2 comments 6952 views
	Best Crispy Waffles by Salad Foodie This is my favorite recipe for a crisp waffle. If that’s the way you like them, don’t reduce the oil, cause that’s what makes them crispy! Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently. I freeze extra waffles for a quick into-the-toaster breakfast. Just add maple syrup, butter…	1 vote 4916 views

	Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option) by Salad Foodie Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition. Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently. I freeze extra waffles for a quick into-the-toaster breakfast.…	1 vote 3515 views
	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…	2 votes 6498 views
	German Chocolate Cookies by Salad Foodie This recipe from the BHG.com website was developed as a healthier alternative to outright decadent German chocolate cake. Rolled oats and flax meal are substitutes for part of the all purpose flour, and butter and sugar have been reduced. I resisted the urge to tweak ingredients as I often do, and was pleasantly surprised that they…	2 votes 1 comment 4651 views
	Cinnamon-Raisin Graham Bread (for bread machine dough cycle or conventional yeast bread method) by Salad Foodie This is baked whole grain bread at its best, and amply satisfies my yen for cinnamon raisin bread! The grain of the loaf is fine and the taste lightly sweet. Savor a slice of the flavorful bread alone, or add a smear of cream cheese or butter. Use as…	1 vote 4952 views

	Ellen Straus's Pie Crust Recipe by Albert Straus This hefty, absolutely unbelievable crust is what our family grew up on. We love it! The pie crust is thick and tastes almost like shortbread but better. It is an ideal crust for any type of fruit (strawberries, Santa Rosa plums or apples). You will need a spring form type of pie pan.	3 votes 3036 views

	Disappearing Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies by Kent Chewy and packed with oats, these are not only delicious they are also filling. I guarantee these will not last long! For best results, use a double layered baking sheet. I make these big, that's why the serving size says 18. You can easily make smaller cookies and double the amount.	1 vote 3 comments 2560 views
