Chocolate Chip Meringue Bars by Farrell May Podgorsek

A different twist on a chocolate chip bar. The egg yolks are used in the dough, and the whites are beaten with brown sugar to make a meringue topping for the bars. Made by his mother, these bars were a childhood favorite of my husband. It was a race to the mailbox when a shoebox full of these bars would be sent to him at…

Roasted Eggplant by Evil Fairy

This is a dish you can serve as a side,bubbling hot,over pasta or cold with pita bread. You can either leave skin on or peel. You can also do on the stove,only you will need more oil. Eggplant acts as a sponge and will soak up all the oil. You use much less oil when you roast it.

Beer Bread (by Bread Machine or Conventional Bread Method) by Salad Foodie

This recipe for Beer Bread has a fine grain, firm crust, light volume, nice moist quality plus a slight taste similar to sourdough. I use the bread machine as a convenience - to make the dough and proof it. Then I interrupt the cycle just prior to the baking function so I can shape to a regular loaf pan, give it an extra and final…

Peanut Butter Berry Cake (dairy free) by Hungry Jenny

I love peanut butter cakes, and berry-based cakes, so decided to marry the two together and this was the resulting cake! The peanuts on top was a last minute decision, and I wasn't sure if it'd work, since I only had salted ones to hand - turns out that the saltiness against the sweet berries actually works really well! This…

Oatmeal Blondies by Farrell May Podgorsek

I couldn't decide what to make one day. Did I want Blondies or Oatmeal Cookies. Why not both? The bars came out exactly as I wanted them to. Moist on the inside like a good Blondie should be, with a nice chewy texture from the rolled oats. I made these with chocolate chips and cinnamon, a great combination. Other nice additions would…

Iced Pumpkin Cakies by Farrell May Podgorsek

These are a very soft cake-style cookie. They are a wonderful fall treat. I have used canned pumpkin in place of the squash puree, as well as pumpkin butter. The icing is just right - not too sweet. The eggnog mellows out the sweetness of the powdered sugar
