Red Hot Apples

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:06:11 -0500

Bushels of Jonathan apples during apple season always triggered mom to make at least one pot of stewed apples and a second pot of red hot apples. Once these cooled down in the refrigerator, these apple treats made a perfect sweet ending to a weeknight meal. -- posted by Rutecki Family

From San Francisco Chronicle & SFGate.com. "One of my neighbors in Provence introduced me to this simple little dessert, which makes a light conclusion to a hearty winter meal. Serve the compote with biscotti or other cookies for dipping." -- posted by Trnquilit

Raspberry Streusel Muffins (The Silver Palate)

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 04:09:58 -0500

These are really delicious and beautiful muffins from, "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook", by Julee Rosso, Sheila Lukins, and Sarah Leah Chase. The pecan streusel topping and the lemon glaze makes them extra-special. You can substitute blueberries for the raspberries. -- posted by blucoat

Big Batch Dulce De Leche

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:05:20 -0500

I love this recipe because you can prepare several cans of dulce de leche at once and they keep for months in the cupboard ready to use at a moment's notice. Also there is no stirring while it's cooking. The first time I made it I admit I was nervous boiling unopened cans of sweetened condensed milk but it worked perfectly but BE SURE TO KEEP THE WATER LEVEL WELL ABOVE THE CANS while they are simmering for 3 hours. The water pressure from all sides of the cans keep them from blowing up and meanwhile the condensed milk inside cooks like it would in a pressure cooker and it turns into caramel. -- posted by Ronalynne

Raspberry Fluff

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 09:39:16 -0500

I was making this while on WW. I do not know where the original recipe came from. The original recipe was made as below with raspberry yogurt and raspberry jello. We have changed up the flavors over time....I've made this using lemon jello and lemon yogurt, lime jello and lime yogurt, cherry jello and vanilla yogurt and the very latest is orange jello and vanilla yogurt! All are delish! -- posted by Sky Hostess

Weight Watchers Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:13:09 -0500

I really wanted chocolate chip cookies but didn't want to sacrifice my points count for the day. This is a nice recipe that I took from the Weight Watchers website. Be careful however, these cookies are so good and tasty that you will forget the 2 cookie rule. Baking time was suggested at 4 - 6 minutes, however, mine took slightly longer. -- posted by Chef #1323075

Cranberry Indulgence Pie

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:32:51 -0500

This pie is really different, but very delicious. The bite of the tart carnberries is mellowed by the rich egg-and-butter filling and pecan bits. I make mine in a metal, 9" pie plate. Keep an eye on the pie in the oven, as temperatures in your oven may vary. I like to bake mine for 40 minutes on the middle rack, but I am baking at high elevation (5,000 feet). You can use all white sugar in a pinch, and dried orange peel also works. -- posted by PainterCook

The World's Fastest Chocolate Sour Cream Cake!! Maybe the Best!

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:51:25 -0500

So so so good! So so so little work. Well, yeah, come on, you DO have to measure the ingredients. And a simple glaze would be good. But if you are really, I mean REALLY, pressed for time, place a paper doily on the cake, sift confectioner's sugar over it, lift carefully and there you have it. And this is sooo much better than a cake mix. I use an 8" square scalloped pan; that makes it look really special. Nawww, that's not cheating. It's just taking a little help where you can find it! Recipe was found somewhere on the internet April, 1998. That's how long I've been making it. -- posted by Jezski

Bacon Toffee

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:55:16 -0500

From the foodie blog Off The Bone.... Ever since I visited the restaurant Animal in L.A. I have been obsessed with bacon desserts... their Chocolate Bacon Crunch Bar is possibly the best dessert I've ever put in my mouth.... and in Googling the recipe (unsuccessfully) I found this and immediately had to save it here!! Their description: "The novelty value of the concept gets the first piece in peoples mouths, but the balance and complexity keep you eating. Its got salt and sweetness, smoke and caramel, and this intriguing combination of crisp and chewy try finding this sort of bacon chewiness in another dessert." -- posted by Raquel Grinnell

Bacon-Wrapped Candy Bars

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:56:02 -0500

Dark Chocolate No Bake Cookies

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:36:13 -0500

These cookies are an old childhood favorite. I changed the ingredients over the years and use Hershey's special dark cocoa and madagascar bourbon vanilla. I also eliminated the nuts (do to a nut allergy in our house) and I use 1% milk. Neither 1% or fat free milk interfere with the texture of these awesome cookies! -- posted by Chef #1466068

Heath Bar Angel Food Cake With Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:42:02 -0500

This was the cake we always had for birthdays when I was growing up. It has a rich chocolate whip cream frosting that has cracked up Heath Bars in it swirled on an Angel Food Cake. Don't skimp and use Cool Whip. This may be tons of calories, but after you try it, you will agree it is well worth it! Using a store bought Angel Food Cake makes this cake so quick and easy! The cooking time listed is only if you bake your own cake. I'd love to hear if your family loves it like mine does! -- posted by terriers2

Lower Calorie Quick Hot Fudge

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:53:18 -0500

This is a quick hot fudge recipe that I use when I really want to indulge. You can mix in any kind of 70% Cocoa and above chocolate bars (bars usually come as 2 oz, so you would need 2). I prefer to use Dagoba pure unsweetened chocolate. Whatever is available will work. -- posted by Southern Kitchen Gardener
