Pear/11 recipes

Cheddar Mashed Potatoes recipe

Nice cookies! I followed the recipe except only cooked them for 11 minutes (I prefer a softer cookie), and they were wonderful.

Pear Harlequin recipe

This is the second recipe I'll post tonight--promised it to AH earlier tonight. My mother found this recipe 35 or so years ago in a magazine and it has become a family favorite. For years she only made it at Thanksgiving until I took over the baking reigns in the family; now she makes it more often especially when my brother, Lewis, is going to be in.

Try serving this with softened vanilla or cinnamon ice cream, or with cinnamon whipped cream. To make the latter, whip some heavy cream with a pinch of cinnamon. You can serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Wrap in plastic and keep overnight at room temperature. Or refrigerate for longer storage.

Family physician Dr. Lisa Vincent loves servings up this healthy and delicious soup recipe to her family. Adding a dollop of low-fat yogurt at the end not only helps cool the soup down, but also makes it creamy and delicious.

Only three ingredients and a microwave and you can have poached pears easily on standby for a healthy fruit dessert.
