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…

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…
