Cowboy Caviar by Lynn Yamamoto

This is fresh, healthy and delicious. People love it, even kids. You can make it ahead, so it's great for a summer party. Serve it with scoop-shaped tortilla chips, or have it on the side as a relish. I add extra cilantro, because there can never be too much cilantro!

Grammy's Oil Pastry (from Betty Crocker) by Victoria Prehn

My recipe seems to be a bit modified from others I see on-line. The quantities I use are for a double crust, but for me, it's always been the perfect amount to make just one crust, plus a little extra. Grammy always used the extra to make cinnamon crust rolls for us kids upon arrival (dough with butter, cinnamon and sugar)

Avocado-Chocolate Muffins by Deirdre Holmes

After getting inspired to include the healthy mono-unsaturated fats, as well as many as 20 valuable nutrients in the avocado in baking, I found a couple of good looking recipes on Joy the Baker's website. I took a cake recipe of Joy's as a starting point, and created a healthier muffin version.

Granola Clusters by Megan DeLong

This recipe is yet another accident/experiment from last night when I was trying to replicate a healthy cookie recipe I found on 101 cookbooks. I didn't have everything required so made a few substitutions and I wouldn't call the end result a cookie really, but more a banana bread meets granola! I think you'll have great fun…
