Solar-Baked Banana Bread

Solar-Baked Banana Bread by Salad Foodie

Too hot to bake nut breads? Get the solar cooker out and keep your cool! Just about anything you bake in the conventional oven has a complimentary solar-cooking method. This is my best banana bread recipe and when it’s cooler this fall I’ll post the same recipe baked conventionally. But here using only El Sol for the cooking energy,…

Giant Valentine Heart Cookie (It’s a Puzzle Too!)

Giant Valentine Heart Cookie (It’s a Puzzle Too!) by Salad Foodie

What fun this is, to get a giant heart cookie that is a jigsaw puzzle too! Package pieces in a box, or stack pieces and tie with perky ribbon to surprise the kids (and kids of all ages.) This dough has 2 cups of oatmeal which makes for a crunchy and unusual sugar cookie. One batch makes two giant cookies that cut into 10 or more…

Cinnamon-Raisin Graham Bread (for bread machine dough cycle or conventional yeast bread method)

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…

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie by Salad Foodie

How about a foot-wide chocolate chip cookie for a party or gift? This treat is quick and easily portable. Chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I like this one especially. It’s Wilton’s Chocolate Chip Cookie For Giant Cookie Pans, and never fails for me to bake to chewy perfection. Add a few icing decorations or pieces of candy…

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

A different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly.

Banana Bread with Streusel Nut Topping by Salad Foodie

My all-time favorite banana bread recipe was unseated when I came across this scrumptious streusel-topped version. A tastier bonus for a bit more effort!

Banana Oatmeal Pecan Bread

Banana Oatmeal Pecan Bread by Salad Foodie

Here's a welcome variation on banana bread featuring much less sweetener than traditional recipes, and a double dose of whole grains (whole wheat and oats). The buttery flavor of pecans is an interesting departure too, but if they're not in the budget, substitute walnuts.

Leftover Oatmeal Raisin Nut Muffins

Leftover Oatmeal Raisin Nut Muffins by Salad Foodie

Leftover cooked oatmeal joins basic quickbread ingredients to make a delicious batch of muffins. Rather than wasting excess cooked oatmeal, freeze in measured batches for using up in baked goods such as this recipe. It's surprising what a win/win this can turn out to be.

Honey Walnut Bran Muffins

Honey Walnut Bran Muffins by Salad Foodie

I concocted this recipe from ingredients I like a lot. How can you go wrong with wheat bran, buttermilk, walnuts and honey? Half of the walnuts are reserved, get sprinkled on top of the muffin batter, and the subsequent toasting deepens their flavor considerably. I use 100% whole wheat pastry flour for muffins and cookies for the…

Gingerbread cake addicts, rejoice - this recipe makes the right size gingerbread cake for a crowd! Lightly moist and lightly sweet, this version I developed over time is a good fit for a holiday dessert or treat for company. I like just a dusting of powdered sugar rather than a frosting. It’s my gingerbread cake FAV - hope you’ll try…

Holiday Magical Bars Made Skinny

Holiday Magical Bars Made Skinny by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Many of you know these outrageously delicious bars as Magic Bars or Hello Dollys. I’m calling them, “Magical Bars” because they are just that. In fact, they’re probably the best bars ever created! They’re super rich and decadent. These magical bars require no mixing and best of all, you don’t sacrifice flavor for the lack of work!…

Oatmeal Saucepan Cookies

Oatmeal Saucepan Cookies by Salad Foodie

A saucepan becomes the mixing bowl in these super simple cookies that bake just a few minutes in the oven. If you wish, use the coconut/chocolate variation which adds additional flavor levels to these chewy and crunchy cookies.
