This is the best carrot cake ever. My friends said that they would buy it from me. I only make it on special occasions. MJ

I used to live near Half Moon Bay and remember the Pumpkin Festival well. This recipe does a fitting tribute to the place and the fruits of the harvest. Yum...I'm smelling the loaves bake as I write... My personal preference is to decrease the oil and sugar slightly, but others will enjoy the richness and sweetness as is.

Deliciously moist zucchini bread. Great for breakfast or snack with tea or coffee. You can use half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour to make this yummy bread even healthier.

Nothing is quicker and easier than a Chinese stir-fry, agreed?! This dish took me less than half an hour to make, and it tasted wonderfully delicious. Served it over a bed of rice, and our dinner was served with tons of goodness and yumminess.

Super chocolaty, orangey and moist cake! The double glaze makes the cake look beautiful and taste more delicious! A definite winner cake that everybody will give you a wow!

Try this healthy chocolate zucchini bread, moist, chocolaty and delicious, also it is much lower fat and calories!

A very moist bread. Butternut squash adds the moisture and great flavor into the bread, chocolate chips and walnuts give the extra layers of flavors and textures. The glaze makes the bread looks so attractive. A delicious bread is great at any occasion.

This Baklava recipe is classic Greek baklava. It can be sweet as a dessert, or savory as an appetizer. Phyllo pastry gives a crispy texture, using both golden delicious and Granny Smith apples makes the filling sweet, slightly sour, and very tasty. The Walnut layer adds another nuttiness, crunchiness, and richness. A delicious and light dessert that you can serve on any occasion.

Light, fluffy and delicious cookies are great treats at any occasion.

An excellent breakfast bread that's made with whole wheat flour, white flour, oats, pumpkin, walnuts and chocolate chips. The cinnamon sugar is swirled into the bread brushed with melted butter. The aroma will fill up your entire house during the baking, and it gives you great flavor, texture and nutrient. Also it can be a very good gift that your friends or family will love for sure!

These cherry cream cheese bars were divine. The cream cheese added the rich creaminess; I made my own cherry pie filling, which was packed with cherry flavour and not super sweet, also did a few changes to make these bars healthier (see the linked recipe below) but still decadent.

We love this quiche. It came out cheesy and just delicious. I used 1% milk instead of whole milk, and it was still very creamy. Of course, if you prefer a richer mouth-feel, you can use half and half.

Bring out that green thumb with this delicious salad that contains walnuts and seedless raisins.

An easy, tasty and hearty dish is an ideal dinner for busy weekdays. Creamy but without any dairy product, it's from the roasted walnuts that also add yummy nuttiness.

I cut the recipe in half and made 24 mini muffins, which baked in 12 minutes. I also took the liberty of adding a pinch of ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract.
