Butter pecan ice cream/3 recipes

Cheesy, juicy and delicious! Black bean, corn and salsa are a flavorful combination, melted cheese inside and outside adds extra oozy cheesiness.

This is similar to what you would get at a deli.

I like to add pumpkin spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice & ginger. I also add a handful each of dried cranberries and walnuts. I cut into equal triangles from a round. When completely cooled, I drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze.

My son brought this recipe home from work one day some years ago and asked me to please make these cookies for him. His friend Brian had given him the recipe. Brian's mom had made the cookies and he would bring them in to work and give my son some. My son William said that they were so good that he wanted me to make some for him, so I made them and I loved them as well as my husband, my daughter, my sisters, and everyone else who ate them. Well, then my daughter's friends wanted me to make some cookies for them, so I just gave them the recipe and said go for it yourselves, they are so easy to make. I know you will love these cookies too because they are not the regular chocolate chip cookie variety. They melt in your mouth and you can't eat just one. Thank you to my son's friend Brian and Brian's mom for sharing this delicious recipe with me, wherever they may be.

Pumpkin, kahlua and cheesecake, yes, you will find them all in this cheesecake. It's creamy, silky, has that nice coffee flavor from kahlua; and also super pumpkin-y. A decadent dessert that impresses everyone.

Crunchy sweet apples and savory celery with bits of sweet dried cranberry and toasted walnuts are tossed with a refreshing and tasty lemon dressing.

Creamy, spicy, slightly sweet and sour peanut sauce makes this scrumptious Asian-style cabbage salad. The salad can be made one day in advance, simply wrap it up and refrigerate overnight. Next day it will be even more delicious.

We make things "from scratch" a lot so I like things that I can make easily. We doubled the recipe and fought over the leftovers.

This is a very bold mix of good tastes. I was happy to cook this meal for my friends. Everyone said they never thought of that before. Four stars.

Chicken mac and cheese casserole. Crusty, cheese topped, satisfying bubbly perfection.

Instead of a rich butter cookies, make some macaroon made of egg whites, coconut, pecans and chocolate. They are so chocolaty and delicious, a little bit crunchy at the inside and slightly chewy on the outside. Perfect sweet treats at holidays.

A quick braise keeps this much maligned "little cabbage" tender-crisp, slightly nutty and not mushy. Dressed simply in a butter mustard sauce seasoned with tarragon.

A hearty muffin with lots of flavor.

You can use any vegetable as you wish, the pastry is made with whole wheat flour, low fat milk and a little bit butter or olive oil. It is a much healthier way to enjoy a pot pie!

A decadent scalloped potato pie. Buttery and flakey puff pastry, cheesy, juicy and tender potatoes. You just can't have enough of it.

These are really good. Moist chocolate cupcake with near perfect crumb. As you eat the cupcake the experience is punctuated by the surprise.
