Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:14:34 -0500

This may be the most delicious pumpkin bread recipe I've ever baked. I came up with this for my brother's 18th birthday and it has been devoured in just two days. I believe the applesauce in the recipe is what makes it so ooey-gooey moist. It's also low in fat as the applesauce replaces the oil that would normally be used. The recipe makes two loaves, one of which can be frozen or given to a friend. -- posted by EntirelyEmily

Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:14:39 -0500

This recipe is a perfect with only four simple ingredients. One thing that you may want to watch out for in this recipe is the sweetness. Plain yogurt can be a bit tart so you will want to test the mixture for sweetness before freezing it. -- posted by Mazvii

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Blondies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:15:40 -0500

From The Best 50 collection of cookbooks. This is straight out of the Brownies and Blondies edition. A little of this goes a LONG way! Not really a blondie by my standards, but it passes off as an interesting bar-type dessert. PLEASE NOTE: Because most people are not really used to tasting molasses, it may take a few bites to fall in love with this recipe. I did not like it at all when I first tried it. But, after giving it a second bite, I found I can't get enough of it. This seemed to happen with EVERYONE who tried it. So, please, before giving an unhappy review, try it again. If you find that the molasses is just too much to handle, try cutting the topping ingredients in half. It really does make a lot of topping as it is. I hope you enjoy this! -- posted by the_cookie_lady

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

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:25:24 -0500

A fantastic 2 layer cheesecake with a dramatic swirl pattern on top. Heavy and rich, this recipe is NOT for the dieters! The original recipe came from a Taste of Home magazine but after it became my boyfriends favorite, it evolved into my own version with a few changes. -- posted by Miss Karyn

(No Egg) Peanut Butter Cookies!

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:12:50 -0500

So i ran out of eggs in the middle of baking cookies...so i improvised. i tried a few different methods that each had a distinct flavor. this is the recipe that i found worked the best, but you can very it to your taste as well. 1/2 mashed banana instead of the applesauce gives a great taste as well! -- posted by seabeewife401

Microwave Pecan Toffee

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:19:29 -0500

Very easy, every day ingredients and quick. I believe the recipe said you could use pecans or almonds, but there are plenty of almond toffe recipes and besides, I like pecan toffee! I got this recipe from a cookbook, but can't remember the one. I have made this many times for work parties, christmas presents, bake sales and family. Everyone loves it! -- posted by suseme

I found this recipe when my stove was broken and I wanted to make pralines for my father, who loved them. These have turned out well for me, but the cooking time can be tricky, especially when the humidity is up--don't try to make them when it's humid. They are very good! -- posted by suseme

My husband LOVES rice pudding, but is very particular as to how it is made. He says that this recipe is exactly right. I haven't tried it yet, but it is made with cinnamon sticks and should be a thick and creamy pudding. I'll be sure to rate it once he gives me a thumbs up or down! :) -- posted by Lisa Michelle R.

Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:07:39 -0500

We made these at a friend's house during a "baking day", and I must say I was surprised how delicious they were. I'm not a huge raisin lover (I'd rather have grapes), but these were creamy and delicious. We doubled this recipe and added some milk to make them softer. I'll post the recipe exactly as written, but feel free to make any changes you desire. Recipe courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. -- posted by AmyZoe

Holiday Nut Roll (Americanized Croatian Nut Roll)

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:16:56 -0500

While similar to other nut roll recipes, this filling is unique because it uses no egg whites or lemon and includes a delicious "Americanization" of the Slavic recipe by adding--whiskey! It adds a fantastic additional flavor; feel free to split the filling before adding whiskey if you'd like to reserve some spirit-free for the kids (though it cooks off and I've never met a kid who didn't like this). Makes a big batch--perfect for giving away. Freezes very well. My sister and I will make double this batch all at once and freeze them until we're ready to give/send them out. -- posted by Tlharin

Molten Dark Chocolate Cakes

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:10:25 -0500

From All For You magazine - Sept 2009 The beauty of the ckaes is that their centers stay much softer than the outer layer. To avoid losing their molten interiors, be sure to not overbake them. If that happens, you can still eat them, but the centers will be firm instead of soft. If you are neverous about inverting the cakes, don't do it. You can serve them in their ramekins. - You can prepare the cakes up to a day in advance. Make the batter, spoon it into ramekins, cover each with foil and refrigerate. When you're ready to serve, remove foil and bake cakes for 14 minutes. - Add fruit. You can serve with fresh strawberries, raspberries, cherries or a combo. A simple fruit sauce can be serve (blending a handful of berries agalong with a couple of tablespoons sugar and teaspoon of lemon juice in a blender / food processor, then straining the liquid through a sieve before using. - Serve with whipped cream. Spruce up the whipped cream with few teaspoons of honey or dash amaretto, creme de methe or another favourite liqueur. -- posted by Engelis

Best-Ever Cheesecake

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:25:15 -0500

This cheesecake has been the all-time favorite of my family since it appeared in the 1981 issue of Woman's Day Dessert Lover's Cookbook (magazine). We like it topped with ready-made cherry pie filling, but I have submitted the recipe with a pineapple topping as originally written. With 40 ounces of cream cheese, it is simply the richest, best tasting cheescake we have ever had. This recipe does not call for a hot water bath during baking, so I'll leave that decision up to you. Also, I have used a 10-inch springform pan with no problems. It still makes a nice tall cheesecake. Prep and cooking times are approximate and do not include cooling/chilling time. Because of the amount of time it takes to prepare, bake, cool, and chill, I usually make this the day before I need it. I hope you like it...enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1122607

This is a delicious almond flavored biscotti-type cookie that is not overly sweet. It was my favorite as a child (grandma used to make them). God bless her--she made them by hand. I use a machine (a Cuisinart or a stand mixer) for mixing the rather stiff batter. If the dough is too sticky, lightly flour your hands to shape the loaves. Vary it the way you like, using chocolate chips instead of nuts. Enjoy with a cup of coffee! -- posted by Chef #364186

Blueberry-Lemon Bundt Cake

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:19:29 -0500

This is a wonderful cake - For best results, coat the inside of he Bundt pan with cookin spray just before filling it with batter to prevent it from pooling in the bottom. Just a Note - Tossing the zest and the berries with some flour will help keep the fruit suspended in the batter while it cooks. -- posted by Chef mariajane

Grape Tart

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:52:59 -0500

Such a delightful dessert - There are many varieties of grapes to choose from. Create a pattern with the colors. I made alternating circles of seedless red and green, just as it said in the Martha Stewart Everyday Food - -- posted by Chef mariajane

Pecan Chocolate Chip Rice Crispy Squares

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:57:21 -0500

I put this together this morning because I was craving something relatively healthy but still bordering on decadent. I think this fit the bill perfectly. Don't put these in the fridge to cool, let them cool in the air if it's not too hot in your house. Once these are cold they are hard to cut into pieces. Once you cut them into squares store in the fridge. -- posted by Chef Joey Z.

Candy Corn-Colored Cookies

These delicious cookies are triangular-shaped just like candy corn. And they are colored like candy corn, too: white, chocolate and orange. You'll be proud to serve these cookies which will delight your guests! They are appropriate all autumn long. Recipe from Betty Crocker. Note that chillling time is not included in the timing. i -- posted by Lorraine of AZ
