Pumpkin Cupcakes with Orange Spiced Cream Cheese FrostingFor a Thanksgiving celebration at my daughter's school I made these pumpkin cupcakes. While they are definitely not low in sugar or fat, they are delicious and easy to make. I made the frosting on my own, experimenting with flavors and finally decided upon cream cheese frosting with orange zest and a bit of pureed pumpkin. YUM! |

Molasses CookiesA modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you… |

Aunt Betty's Chocolate Chip Cookie BarsTo be honest with you, my aunt’s recipe was chocolate chip cookies, not bars, but I decided to make them into bars one evening when I wanted something sweet and did not want to bake endless pans of cookies (her recipe makes about 70 cookies). I used to make these cookies all the time when I was a teenager and I have not made her… |

Almost A Borscht SoupI wanted a hearty soup for lunch and had a left-over half head of boiled cabbage. What else could I do but go wild adding borschtish ingredients until I almost lost track. Bottom line, if you don't have an ingredient just leave it out or substitute something else. Have fun and be surprised, like I was, that this came out tasting… |

Chocolate Oatmeal CookiesMoist and chewy, these will help satisfy your choco-holic inclinations. Baking chocolate rather than cocoa gives a richer color and flavor than cocoa, and coconut help keep them moist. |

Brownie S'MoresI still like S’mores, but I’m grown up and seldom sit around a campfire anymore. Occasionally I’ll treat myself to some melted marshmallows after I finish grilling our dinner, but I wanted an easier way to get my treat, where I don't have to have a hot BBQ or be around a campfire! I used my own Classic Fudgy Brownie recipe and topped… |

Crock Pot Chunky ApplesauceA 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… |

Guilt-free Chicken Nuggets, Oh YeahMost kids love McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. I’m sure many grown-ups do too. But, they are so unhealthy! Happily, not my skinny ones! No deep frying here…I’m using skinless, white meat chicken and baking them. The bread crumb coating has a wonderful flavor similar to barbecue potato chips. The skinny for 6 chicken nuggets only 203… |
