Lower Fat Chocolate Cake in a Mug

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:11:07 -0500

This is a composite of several recipes in hopes of making a version that is less fattening, but still satisfying. There are other versions that use 2 tbsp fat free sour cream instead of the banana. There are many types of flour that have been cited, including rice flour for gluten free. Also different sweeteners available such as sucanat. Egg beaters can be substituted, and oil can be left out all together, substituted with apple sauce. -- posted by Chef #1450658

Tender and Spicy Molasses Cookies

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:45:15 -0500

This is a highly modified version of Old Fashioned Ginger Cakes by Rachel-Snachel . It is interesting because it uses no milk or eggs, and is devoid of refined sugar. This recipe's flavours are equilibrated for Blackstrap molasses, if you use regular molasses you might have to reduce the spices. This is a very nutritious, flavorful and comforting recipe on cold winter nights. Perfect if you are nervous, not too good if you feel agressive. -- posted by Blueberries and Mortar

Spiced Baked Pears

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:05:52 -0500

This is a perennial favorite for Thanksgiving! It's adapted from a recipe for Spiced Baked Apples by Lorraine Chausse on allrecipes. The pears make a really lovely presentation for dinner parties and can cook while you eat dinner. The recipe states 6 servings, but you can also halve them and just ladle the sauce over the half. These are yummy served by themselves or with some vanilla ice cream. -- posted by Heidigal

Easy Peach Cobbler

Shoofly Pie

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:52:05 -0500

honest to goodness shoofly pie- so simple, so flavorful and chock full of molasses....from my roots in Lancaster county, PA, this pie is always welcome on the board. An everyday pie with 'in the cupboard' ingredients, it fits with every menu as it is deliciously light. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, it becomes a smash dessert. Leftovers work in this house as breakfast. -- posted by katemarie54

Sunday's Best Rice Pudding (Traditional Style)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:16:07 -0500

In memory of my dad who used to take me to Pickwick Restaurant for rice pudding every Sunday afternoon. This is the closest recipe I could find to that which was served at the restaurant: Creamy with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious whether served warm or cold with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. Also, if prepared ahead, rice pudding makes a quick breakfast in case you're too much in a hurry to make oatmeal. -- posted by Rachael Potter

Saw Paula Dean make this on the Food Network. It's delicious. It tastes like a rich and decadent Brownie in a pie crust.

The secret ingredient in this recipe will have you feeling like there's a ton of butter and cream in there... though there's not. Go ahead and indulge in this ooey-gooey treat! This recipe uses the microwave. If you do not have fleur de sel, simply use coarse grain salt or simply omit. -- posted by Génial Génie

Very Australian small cakes. A Lamington Drive is the quintessential fund raiser for schools and clubs. Lamingtons store well for up to 3 days. This version is not overly sweet so if you have a really sweet tooth you could add 1/2 cup icing sugar to the chocolate coating. -- posted by Coasty

This is a recipe my Mom and Gramma used, and comes from an old Mennonite cookbook, and yields TONS of delicious cookies for sharing among friends, family, work or the kids' school. **The bake time you select will determine softness, so if you like a softer cookie, do NOT over bake this recipe! ***This cookie recipe is extremely rich and perhaps not diet-friendly, so definitely best used as a holiday treat! -- posted by Chef #1470230

As a child, I remember my grandmother making this salad for me. I do not 100% know the whole recipe but this is all I could remember.

Sometimes my grandmother would put some cooked shrimp inside and it turns out amazing! ] -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

Rich buttery taste on the outside, soft coconut taste inside. I have one large pan with 8 mini loaf slots. You can also use a 9 X 13 pan and make one large cake. Bake about 10 minutes longer. The puffs are piled high on a plate and a bowl of whipped topping is served with the puffs. Note: Let loaves set a while and use a serrated knife. or,, you can wrap and freeze when cool and take out to thaw before giving as gifts or before serving. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:37:11 -0500

I have tricked several wheat eaters with this recipe. Very tasty and not gritty like typical gluten free recipes. Our normal grocery store carries soy flour and shouldn't be too hard to find. Definitely worth using! Adds protein and fiber and I think it helps with texture. You could probably get away with omitting the teaspoon of guar gum, but I have it on hand and use it. I've used both milk, lactaid and soy milk for this recipe without any problems. I have also used pure pumpkin and pumpkin pie mix (this will make the batter more watery, so bake a little longer). You don't have to use the chocolate chips, they'll still be quite tasty! -- posted by Zizek

Drunken Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

This is my co-worker's favorite version of oatmeal raisin cookies, everytime I make them, they are eaten almost as soon as I put the package out to share. This was inspired after I made carrot pudding for the second time ever, my DH's favorite holiday dessert, and his need for rum sauce to pair with it, the classic pairing of rum and raisins. It's so popular that i have to make a double batch everytime . -- posted by Katrilla

Killer Banana Bars

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:17:58 -0500

Absolutely addictive! These bars are moist, light, and fluffy like a quick bread (rather than dense like a brownie). They have a slight sweet/salty thing going on that takes them to the next level. Make a pan and watch them disappear! These are a huge hit at potlucks. You can double this recipe and bake in at 13x9-in. pan. Variation: For outrageously good pumpkin bars, substitute canned pumpkin for the banana and add 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger. Outstanding!

Cinnamon Rolls With a Cream Cheese Dough (Saveur)

This recipe for cinnamon rolls calls for folding the cream cheese into the layers of dough which makes for very rich and moist rolls.

Famous Fresh Blueberry Pie

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:47:59 -0500

I live in Florida and it is difficult to make a non-runny blueberry pie due to the humidity, but this recipe is perfect. I got this recipe through trial and error of 5 different published recipes. The filling is dense enough so that little loose liquid is present, but you still feel like you are biting into whole berries when you eat it. This fixed my problem of getting a pool of liquid in the bottom of my pie shell. I recommend using only fresh blueberries. Use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Regarding the crust, the store-bought frozen crusts did not work properly for me. They either didn't bake on the bottom or resulted in an overflow of pie liquid into the bottom of my oven. I recommend the Pillsbury brand rolled pie crust dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store (by the biscuits/crescent rolls). These bake nicely, are easy to work with, and have an appropriate amount of moisture. Of greatest inspiration for the filling was from http://www.pickyourown.org/blueberrypie.php -- posted by MerryD

Sour Cream Brownies

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:42:37 -0500

From The Ultimate Brownie Book. Although decadent to the nth degree, these brownies are actually light because the sour cream leavens that batter, causing them to rise up high in the pan. They will stay fresh for four days. They can be wrapped in wax paper, sealed in a freezer-safe bag, and frozen for up to 4 months. -- posted by BB2011

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

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

Bread Pudding Ummm . . . Best Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:55:00 -0500

I had never had Bread Pudding before I went to Vegas and had it at a buffet. Well, I fell in love. My obsession use to be chocolate, but since I've lost 52 lbs. I gave it up. NOW, my obsession has become THIS version of Bread Pudding. ( I have to be careful how much of this I make, so I don't gain all of that chocolate weight back!) I found this recipe on the "Momswhothink.com" website and I hope it is ok to post it here. This is true comfort food. Do not over bake or you will lose the eggy texture of the bread. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are the key ingredients to the rich flavor of this dessert. I use french bread, and have even used dry bread that has been sitting around a few days. I even used wheat french bread once and it turned out great! The sauce is more a vanilla, butter, cream sauce. I usually make about 4 times (yes, that is what I said!) in order to smother the bread pudding. One recipe of it is just not enough. Ummm. Make the sauce while the pudding is baking and you will save time. You can also use a Hard Sauce if you would rather. (recipe # 102574 sounds like a good one.) Even if you have never tried Bread Pudding, be daring, and try it. I use to turn my nose up at it, and now, I cannot wait for an excuse to make it, again and again. Enjoy! -- posted by terriers2

Rachel's Vanilla Cupcakes

For posterity. Open to some flavor variations and fun with food dye, so I included some tips from other recipes and my own experiments. I based the cake part off both a Food Network recipe plus one of my cake recipes. Yields 24 cupcakes, two 9" layer cakes, or one 13 x 9 cake. -- posted by the80srule

Deep South Crisco Cake

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:57:30 -0500

This is a delicious pound cake made without the addition of milk... My mom would ask me, when I was a kid, what kind of cake did I want for my birthday. My answer was always "Crisco Cake!" This is also the only cake requested for Christmas dinner this year! Do not scrape off the crust that forms on the top of the cake.. it is the best part!!!! -- posted by monagrays

The only hot cocoa for one recipes that I could find use milk, but I wanted one I could make with coffee......................walah!!!! Update: Upon further investigation I have discovered that this recipe is more for two than one........................so, if you think it is a little thick, try cutting it in half. -- posted by Stephen Shafer

Almond Stuffed Baked Pears

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:20:11 -0500

This dessert makes the most of the pears' natural sweetness. Use a dessert pear such as Comice. To remove the core neatly from each pear half, use a teaspoon or a melon baller. Serve these pears warm or cold. They also reheat well if you have any left over. -- posted by English_Rose

Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies- Just 6 Ingredients!

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:16:18 -0500

Classic comfort food. I remember making these in home ec back in the day. God I hated junior high and would never want to relive that torture: but those cookies were good! That good to make me want to remember it. And we didn't keep Bisquick in my house so it was an especially great delight for me. Makes about 16-24 cookies depending on how big you make them. They may not taste as fine as pure from scratch cookies, but they still taste good and are a time-tested kid pleaser. Can sub vegetable oil or shortening for the butter but the butter tastes better. And to make these a tad fancier, I suggest using 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. -- posted by the80srule
