Low Glycemic Banana Bran Muffins by Marg Ruttan

One of the cookbooks I wrote back in the early 1990's was "Traditions of Home Cookies and Muffins". It has some great muffin recipes in it, but unfortunately, they're not low glycemic. My hubby, Fred, asked me the other day to help use up some bananas before they got too ripe so I decided to take one of my recipes and adapt it so…

Giggling Gourment's Slurpn'ly Good BBQ Sauce by Giggling Gourmet

Here's my version of a BBQ sauce for the summer season! It has a nice mild sweetness/smoked flavor to it when said and done.

Five Star Coleslaw by Chef Doug

Call me unrefined, but to my mind, no coleslaw has ever beaten KFC's coleslaw. I've done much searching and experimenting, and some time ago, I finally zeroed in on this combination of ingredients. If it isn't exactly like KFC, you won't get any closer. Simple and delicious.

Peanut Butter Crumb Brownie by Carolinaheartstrings

I just love crumb toppings on desserts: coffee cakes, pies and brownies. Yes, brownies too! This peanut butter crumb topping goes well with a fudgy brownie and I used a box mix here. The packaging was for an 8×8 pan but I cooked it in a 9×9 to thin it out just a little and allow for just as much topping as there is base.

Pie Crust Crisps by Carolinaheartstrings

This month our food theme is All American Fare. Apple pie pops into my head when I think of a dessert that fits that theme. My mom was a great pie maker and apple was one of her favorites. She made the best pie crust ever. As a kid the part of the pie I loved the most was the crust that she trimmed off after she fit it into the…
