Banana Nut Bread recipe.

Last week, went to Toronto, saw a big fat burrito restaurant, and the burrito definitely impressed me. Once we were back home, I found this recipe and made my own version. Definitely a delicious yet nutritious recipe that I recommend to everyone!!

Use some whole wheat flour to replace all-purpose flour; use canola oil and applesauce to replace some of butter. Give these date pinwheel cookies a healthy twist. They not only deliver all the yumminess, but also lots of goodness.

Very tasty treat! Easy to make and very moist. I added 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the batter. Would be good with some dried cranberries also.

Well, here's another recipe from my FB page. My thanks to Danielle at hugsandcookiesxoxo.com who adapted it from the "Barefoot Contessa" herself, Ina Garten. (BTW, the accompanying image is also from hugsandcookiesxoxo.com.)

Quick, easy and fuss-free. Made this dish for Sean's lunch yesterday, and he absolutely enjoyed it. Followed the recipe, and used some mixed frozen stir-fry veggies we bought from Costco, it was a wonderful combination.

Lemon Pecan Pie recipe

Made this apple cake a while ago, and finally got the photos uploaded. The cake was moist and delicious. I used half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour to make it a bit healthier, reduced sugar to 1 1/2 cups, which was sweet enough for us. Also added 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the apples, and it was a great addition.

Blond brownies with a combination of butterscotch chips, chocolate chips studded with pecans.
