Backpacker Bars

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:20:40 -0500

Here is another recipe that I found on the www.bettycrocker.com website. It is different from the other recipe posted on Zaar. "These versatile bars are at home in lots of places. Try one for a quick energy boost, a brown-bag treat, an after-school snack or anytime--it's just plain good!" -- posted by senseicheryl

Lighten Up! Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:04:22 -0500

I found this recipe in a Woman's World magazine. It's made with canola oil but tastes just as buttery as full fat cookies. One of these cookies has only 76 calories and 2 g fat, give them a try! -- posted by StephanieNS

Peanut Buttery Granola Crunch

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:21:39 -0500

If you are using salted nuts and peanut butter, you may want to leave out the salt, so your granola won't be too salty. I found this in Kids Are Cookin cookbook. I have not tried this granola. I'm posting this recipe for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut

Healthy Peanut Butter Balls

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:27:42 -0500

I wanted a sweet but healthy snack that we could all just grab out of the fridge when we wanted. I eyeball the ingredients, adding more until I get a consistency that is sticky enough to roll into balls (you kind of have to pack them more than roll them) and not so stick they need to be rolled in something- I usually just make them plain with out the optional add ins. They would be really tasty rolled in powdered sugar, cocoa, crushed peanuts, wheat germ, etc. Have fun playing with this and adding your favs! Protein, fiber, crunch, sweetness- what more could you want? -- posted by newmama

Cheerio Squares

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 14:02:39 -0400

My mom used to make this instead of rice crispy treats. Honestly I like these way more than the rice crispy version. For a twist, use Honey Nut Cheerios. I have set it up so that the Prep time is the the time on the stovetop and cook time is the time to let it set up in the pan. Enjoy! -- posted by Lord Bezoar

Candy Corn

These make a great snack or dessert. I keep them in a bowl in the fridge, covered, for about three days, and my family munches one or two when they want a bit of something instead of having a piece of chocolate or a cookie.

White Chocolate and Maple Rice Krispie Squares

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 02:07:58 -0400

This is a yummy variation on the classic kids' treat. I like my rice krispie squares to be heavy on the mallow so if you prefer, feel free to add more rice krispies to the mix! I don't have easy access to good maple syrup this side of the pond so please feel free to adjust that amount too- 2 tablespoons of the fake stuff I get here is about right but you may need less of the real thing! If you want to make less, half of this recipe fits in a loaf tin beautifully. -- posted by Shuzbud

Simple Berries and Cream: No Cooking Involved

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:00:56 -0400

When I was a little girl, I used to go pick wild blackberries with my Daddy. I'd get eaten alive with chiggers, but thinking about this yummy dessert made it all worth it. After we got a big container full, we'd drop some off with my Grandmother for a cobbler, but Daddy would keep at least 2 cups out for the 2 of us. This was our little treat!!! Today when I eat it, I still think of that time with my Daddy. Guess Daddy's girls never really grow up! -- posted by CharlieGal

Anzac Day Oaty Biscuits

Fri, 08 May 2009 01:35:29 -0400

I found this recipe for a healthier Anzac Day biscuit on the New Zealand Heart Foundation website. It comes from a program they have done aimed at schools. I was also drawn to it because of the lack of coconut which I was finding in a lot of Anzac Day biscuit recipe. Since I am not a fan of coconut these sound perfect for me. The recipe didn't give a yield. So, I am guessing on that. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Strawberry Cream Cheese Snacks

Thu, 28 May 2009 01:44:42 -0400

I was trying to find something to snack on one night, and I remembered reading another recipe about strawberries dipped in brown sugar, so I came up with this. Amounts are approximate, since you really just dip the cut sides of the strawberries in the sugar, and spread cream cheese on crackers... so it depends on how much sugar and cream cheese you like. This is the first recipe I have published on here, mostly because it's the kind of easy thing I like to find on the site and I didn't see anything like it. -- posted by Queen Roachie

Banana Health Muffins

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:15:41 -0400

Healthy, tasty and suitable for coeliacs, those with lactose intolerance and vegans alike. Despite their healthiness, these taste delicious and the recipe can be adapted to suit any tastes and i recommend sprinkling the tops with a little muesli and sugar and serving them warm from the oven and drizzled with yoghurt if you are not lactose intolerant. For a nuttier flavour, the vegetable oil can be substituted for nut oil. Chickpea flour can be substituted for rice flour if you don't like the taste. Variations include adding apple, dates, cream cheese, cranberries and raisins to name a few...the possibilities are endless! Enjoy! -- posted by the_allergic_chef

Tropical 7 Layer Twist Bars

What would happen if I threw them together with some pineapple and coconut?", and this is what I came up with ... A refreshing tropical twist on an old favorite. Depending on how big you cut your pieces, you can get about 12 to 16 bars. I also plan on making these in a mini muffin pan, to get some little "tropical tarts" -- posted by "Ratalouille"

This is a modified version of the recipe from Baking: A Commonsense Guide. When they first come out of the oven, they're chewy and delicious. When they cool, they become crisper, ideal for dunking in coffee or tea. (And of course they're still delicious.) I added allspice just because I like it. If you use sweetened coconut, you can probably cut back on the sugar some. -- posted by dreabakes

Kiwi, Strawberry and Grape Juice.

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:51:44 -0400

I got this recipe from 'The top 100 juices' by Sarah Owen, published by Lifetime Distributors, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "All three fruits in this juice provide a massive infection-fighting boost of vitamin C and can help to shorten the duration of a cold. The kiwi fruit a also contain lutein, a phytonutrient known to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and eye disease. Both strawberries and grapes are high in ellagic acid, which neutralizes carcinogens. The tannins, flavones and active compounds in the grapes combine to make them energizing and strengthen the cell walls of blood vessels" You could make more than one serving, and serve with lemonade and ice in a punch bowl for a party if desired. I haven't made this yet, as I don't have a juicer, but if I ever get one, this will be the first juice that I make. Enjoy! :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Summer Camp Gorp

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:12:51 -0400

I used to work in the kitchen of a summer camp back in the day and we would always make this recipe for the kids at snack time and set some out for breakfast. During the breakfast hours I would see some kids pour milk over it and have it as a kind of makeshift cereal. Of course we would make this in tremendous quantities so I've had to do some math and lessen the ingredient amounts needed. So just a quick tip: if you decide to double this recipe, please use 3 large eggs instead of 4 small eggs. Also keep an eye on the oats as they're cooking, as all ovens are different, so they don't burn. -- posted by NapalmFairy

My Mom literally makes this granola every other day. It barely makes it off the cookie sheet before it is gone. Great as a cereal with milk, as a snack, as a topping to yogurt, OR dare I say, a topping to create fruit crisp. I like to make mine with milk chocolate chips or dried cranberries, but you can add any extras you like! -- posted by Hadice

Awesome Pecans

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:04:26 -0400

Totally addictive... these pecans are sweet, spicy, salty and crisp. A friend gave me some pecans for Christmas. I used the recipe she shared, a recipe from RecipeZaar, and another, from a third source. All three were good, but finally I came up with this recipe that satisfied my tastes, and my friends as well. -- posted by Sweetiebarbara

Spooktacular Halloween Pudding Cups

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:17:46 -0400

Super fun Halloween treats that the kids are sure to enjoy. Easy to make and look great to!! I got the idea off of another website that used chocolate pudding but I thought using vanilla and dying it orange would be really cool since the pudding and oreos together would be traditional Halloween colors. This recipe can be easily divided in half and so on. For the pudding I used the kind that you cook verses the instant. I think the cooked pudding has a much nicer and thicker consistancy. The amount below for the oreos is a guesstimate because it wouldn't let me put down 1 large package of oreos but either way just one regular package of oreos crushed is what you need. Enjoy! -- posted by mamawheezy

Margarita Chicken Wings

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:05:11 -0500

Forget your Buffalo Wings. These are a treat unrivalled and they will vanish as quickly as you can drag them off the BBQ. Thanks to Ted Reader, the Guru of the Q. You will find that the use of a grill basket will make the cooking of the wings much easier. I have also done these in the broiler. -- posted by Hal Taylor

Strawberry Fruit Dip

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:12:12 -0500

Serve this super-easy dip in a small dish surrounded by rows of sliced nectarines, star fruit, whole strawberries and pineapple chunks. An easy trick to keep the nectarines from turning brown is to brush them with lemon or orange juice. I found this recipe in a magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting this for safe keeping. -- posted by internetnut
