Chewy chocolate oatmeal cookies loaded with cocoa and nuts. Soft centers that stay slightly moist, ready in 25 minutes from start to finish.

Sweet and creamy. Reminiscent of the fudge sold on the boardwalk at the shore.

A delicious creamy ice cream with ripe strawberries and graham cracker pieces. A delightful summertime treat!

Peppery arugula salad with marinated artichokes, cherry tomatoes, and basil pesto vinaigrette. Quick, healthy Italian-inspired salad ready in 8 minutes.

Guilt-free chocolate muffins made with nonfat yogurt and cocoa powder for rich flavor, perfect for a healthier chocolate fix.

This super moist carrot cake was absolutely delicious and much much lower-fat than a regular carrot cake, thanks to applesauce and yogurt instead of butter and cream cheese. I used whole wheat pastry flour to make it even more nutrition dense. I will be making this low-fat carrot cake again for sure.

I add a couple of teaspoons of multi-colored nonpareils to make them a bit more festive.

This cream cheese-based cracker spread is served free at a local pub. It was so delicious that I knew I had to try to duplicate it home after I first had it. At the pub, the spread is served with club-type crackers, but it goes well on any cracker or with crudites.

Very easy to make, I used 1/4 cup more pumpkin puree than recipe says, so I didn't add any extra water into the batter, also reduced the 1 tablespoon of oil, and these muffins came out great. Love the flavor from pumpkin and spices. Definitely a keeper recipe.

Devil's food cake imbibed with cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk, it is reminiscent of a tres leches cake. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkling of toasted coconut, it's an easy to do treat.

Reduced fat banana nut bread with non-fat sour cream and egg substitute, swirled with chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Half the fat of standard banana bread, all the moist banana flavor.

Bring out the magic in your baking with this scrumptious cake made with buttermilk, strong coffee and semi-sweet chocolate.

My slightly sweet version of a classic.

Cola chicken slow-cooks with regular cola, ketchup, and onions into a sticky, fall-apart sweet-savory dump dinner. The classic crockpot shortcut Southern grandmas swear by.

This healthy main dish is cooked completely on the grill and is flavored by a simple, four-ingredient marinade!! Excellent with grilled rustic bread served alongside. I like to use my Fig Balsamic Vinegar in place of the regular balsamic vinegar. A Must Try!! Excellent complement to the other flavors of course!! This is one of my favorite Vegan Main Dishes!! 

"Kohlrouladen" used to be a staple on the menu for regular people in Germany during winter time. The relatively long preparation and cooking time pays out, because it can be easily reheated over a couple of days and gets even better and tastier then. Fried potatoes complete the picture, but you can cook the potatoes also in the pot with the sauce, if there is space left. This recipe can be varied in many ways, be it the stuffing (ground meat here), or the sauce. The recipe is as traditional as it can be; the ingredients are adjusted to availability in North America (like Savoy cabbage in lieu of "Weisskohl", bacon to replace "Speckwuerfel"). For sure the ground meat can vary depending on preferences or diets - I bet quite often in the "good old times " regular people did not exactly know what's in the ground meat they got from the butcher - at least it was some meat, for most of the families only once a week.
