Coconut Macaroon Ice Cream (Biscuit Tortoni)

(1 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

I'm not sure whether this is "real" Biscuit Tortoni, but if you like coconut macaroons (and sinfully rich desserts), you should love this. When we were kids, my sister and I got to choose what my mother cooked for dinner on our... MORE»

Oatmeal, Fruit and Nut Bread

(1 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

This is a tasty bread with very little fat-virtually none if you use the nonfat buttermilk and leave out the nuts. I've only made it with raisins, but I'll bet it would be really good with the dried cranberries also. MORE»

Applesauce Oatmeal Cake

(2 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

I got this from another site, where it was credited to Meal Master. It's not a fancy dessert-for-dinner cake, but more like a snack cake or coffee cake. It's very moist and buttery-sugary. MORE»

Zucchini Parmesan

Posted by Jo Ann L  

I know I already have a recipe with almost the same title posted here, but the recipes themselves are very different. This is definitely a side dish. It's a bit more elaborate than the two-ingredient Zucchini Parmesan recipes, but it's still easy... MORE»

Pumpkin and an Orange Bread

(3 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

Yes, a whole orange. No, you don't peel it. You just remove any seeds. No, you won't have yucky pieces of peel in your bread. No, it won't be bitter. It's moist and delicious. The division secretary at school gave me this recipe several years ago.... MORE»

Plum Pudding

Posted by Jo Ann L  

Brits and other purists, I admit it: This is not authentic plum pudding. I don't know where my mother got the recipe, but this is what we ate at Christmas time for as long as I can remember. Aside from the long steaming time, it's really quite... MORE»

Pineapple Refrigerator Loaf

Posted by Jo Ann L  

OK, so this isn't really a loaf. I almost changed it to "dessert," but this is the name I used through my whole childhood when I nagged my mother to make it. To avoid reproachful reviews, please note that this is not spicy, nippy or... MORE»

French Applesauce Cake

(1 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

I'm not sure what's French about this cake, exactly, but it's spicy and moist. It's also egg and dairy free and fairly low fat. MORE»

Ham and Herb Vegetable Dip

Posted by Jo Ann L  

This is a nice zippy dip that is a change of pace from the ubiquitous ranch and onion dips. I got it from an Underwood ad, so of course they specfied their own product, but any deviled ham would do. There are no vegetables in it, so I suppose that... MORE»

chocolate applesauce bread

Posted by Jo Ann L  

I got this from another recipe site, so I don't know the original source. It is nice and moist and has a good chocolately flavor. The original recipe said to put it in 2 1-lb. loaf pans, but they were so full that the middle was still gooey when... MORE»

Ranch Style Lentil Casserole

(2 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

I'm not sure what these have to do with a ranch, (Don't you wonder where some dishes get their names?) but they're good. The ground beef is very optional. I leave it out, to cut down on both cost and calories. MORE»

Boston Baked Beans

(4 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

As with any other dish, there are varying schools of thought on Boston Baked Beans. There's your bacon vs. salt pork, your molasses vs. maple syrup, etc. This is my mother's recipe, which I ate all through my childhood, so to me this is how BBB... MORE»

Applesauce Carrot Cake

(1 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

I got this recipe from the newspaper, but the person who sent it in said it was from a Seneca applesauce jar. It's very good, and the applesauce in the icing makes a tasty variation. MORE»

Carrot Bread

(8 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

A yummy, moist bread. If you substitute applesauce for oil in baking, don't do it on this one. I tried it, and it wasn't nearly as good. MORE»

Fresh Strawberry Bread

Apple Salad

(7 reviews) Posted by Jo Ann L  

A bit of a variation on Waldorf Salad. With low-fat or nonfat mayo, it's a low-cal treat. This amount only serves 2-3 people, but it's easy to double (and redouble) for larger numbers. MORE»

Cranberry Orange Nut Bread

I have several breads I give as Christmas gifts, and this is one of the ones people like most. With the nuts and chocolate chips, it's certainly not a low-cal treat, but it's delicious. MORE»

Sugared Walnuts

I got this recipe from a student's process speech more than 30 years ago, and I've never found one I like better. A great Christmas gift, especially if you have a low-cost source for the nuts. MORE»
