Instead of the raisins, this Apple Strudel uses dried cranberries instead. It's also lighter, crispier and easier to make by using phyllo pastry instead of typical thick pastry.

A scrumptious salad made with millet, black beans, cucumbers and juicy tomatoes.

Just like little fruitcakes! I soaked my fruit in the bourbon overnight. Easy recipe to put together and great way to use extra fruit from making my fruitcakes.

Low fat pumpkin cookies. Pumpkin, cranberry and pecans make these soft flavorful cookies that are perfect for Thanksgiving. I've lowered the amount of saturated fat, lowered the amount of sugar and switched the whole wheat flour to boost fiber.

These low-fat and delicious snacks are perfect to serve at dinner parties or family gatherings.

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

A delicious holiday drink made with apple cider, orange juice and a bit of brandy.

This scrumptious dish made of cracked wheat and tomatoes can be served by itself or with any type of meat.

This is my favorite pumpkin pie recipe! I found it years ago, and recently lost it in a move. I was joyous to find it again! I encourage everyone to use fresh pumpkin, just cut into large chunks, steam, then scoop out of peel, easy!

These pumpkin spice bagels look great too. I really love the color of these bagels, pumpkin puree gives these bagels rich golden color, which makes the bagel look so yummy. Another great recipe with picture.

Excellent and easy easy barbeque sauce that was handed down from my Grandmother.

The oat scones were buttery, fluffy and delicious, when we spread the apple-pear butter on top, the flavor was just amazing. Sweet, a bit sour and smooth apple-pear butter went deliciously well with these yummy scones.

This moist, buttery and flavorful applesauce pound cake is always a winner at our place, we make it very often, sometimes after main course, sometimes we just have it as our coffee cake with some coffee or tea. It is a wonderful and delightful cake :)

The whole family loved this recipe! The second time I made it I substituted some of the ketchup with chili sauce with no noticeable difference.

All veggies are young, fresh and full of spring garden aroma. Is there anything more lovely?
