Giant Chocolate Chip CookieHow 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… |

Cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic predominate, but you can rifle through the veggie bin and sub out others like spinach, zucchini, parsnips, etc. and you can increase or decrease the ratios of vegetables to your preference. About 9 cups of raw vegetables are needed. When… |

Peanutty Oatmeal CookiesA 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. |

Spice Nut Bundt Cake with Lemon GlazeA sassy lemon glaze sets off this spice Bundt cake. It fits the bill for morning coffee or afternoon breaktime, and keeps well several days refrigerated. If you don't have cardamom spice just replace with an equivalent amount of allspice and cloves. |

Zucchini Golden Raisin and Sunflower Seeds BreadI haven’t tasted a better zucchini quick bread than this. The moist golden loaf makes a great seasonal or hostess gift. I almost tampered with perfection on my trial run with the recipe (from Lou Seibert Pappas’ A Harvest of Pumpkins and Squash), but then decided to go with the original version, and am I ever glad I did - it’s… |
