I've made pumpkin desserts and cranberry desserts. I have not made a dessert with both pumpkin AND cranberry. If they are both good on their own, maybe they would be great together. This is what I plan to make. I got the idea when I came across a recipe for Pumpkin and Cranberry Cake from [...]
This is a recipe for a cookie I have never heard of. We've all make cornbread in all of its forms, but I haven't made a corn cookie. I was intrigued by the concept. Going through the recipe I noticed one thing, most of the corn flavor comes from a can of creamed corn. Sounds [...]
Did she just say "Fruitcake"? Yes, I said fruitcake. You may be wondering why I am doing a recipe for fruitcake. It's after the holidays, and the most reviled cake on the planet, isn't it? Go the the United Kingdom and it is served all over and is even wedding cake. I think you are [...]
Whipped shortbread sounds like an oxymoron. Shortbread is not known for being light and airy. They are typically a dense crumbly cookie that's wonderfully buttery. So when I saw a recipe for Whipped Shortbread, I was skeptical but intrigued. It's the same basic ingredients, but the butter and sugar are whipped. I am all over [...]
Every year, I make homemade Ginger Snaps for the pumpkin pie crust for some of the pie. Tony loves these and so do I. They are spicy and delicious. Better than anything you can get in a box. I am starting with the America's Test Kitchen recipe for Whole Grain Ginger Snaps. If you like [...]
I'm finally getting around to doing a pumpkin dessert recipe. It wouldn't be fall without at least one. I love pumpkin pie as much as the rest of you, but I save that for Thanksgiving. I also know there are more sweets made with pumpkin than just pie. I found a really interesting recipe from [...]
Here we go again with another beet recipe. It is true, I hate to waste food. While Tony was sick, he planned to juice these. The juice upset his stomach. The soup I made with some of these beets was a hit. Now, I'm going to make a cake. I love to find new ways [...]
This recipe came from a want to try a new ingredient. Recently I bought a sugar free sweetened condensed milk from Mrs. Taste (link is not sponsored). I have also been wanting to do a sugar free version of pecan pie. Pecan pie is one of those desserts that I don't eat because it is [...]
With the beets I have left, I made my savory dish. The Borscht was AMAZING. Now I am trying out something sweet. I found out you can make brownies with this red root vegetable. I'm all for that. I am starting with a recipe from Vegaterianized for their Dark Chocolate Beet Brownies. They describe them [...]
Here's another recipe that's sole purpose is you use up some extra fruit. Along with the beets, I have a ton of apples. I thought it might be good to use them to make some apple pie. However, I don't want to make an actual pie. Rather apple pie bars. Easier to eat and way [...]
