I am part of the 10in2010 group with the goal of eating healthier and getting more exercise. Looking through Cooking Light online I found these amazing Roasted Banana Bars with Brown Butter Pecan Frosting. People looked at my skeptically when I said it was from Cooking Light. It was all I could do to not [...]

After spending days cooking with apples I thought it was time to move on to another fall treat, the pumpkin. I was looking at one Pumpkin Cupcake recipe until I saw this one at the Smitten Kitchen. I was over there checking out the latest cute pictures of her son. The Maple Cream Cheese Frosting [...]
Chunky Apple Walnut Cake

I have had a craving to bake with apples. Maybe it is because a bit of fall has arrived here in Southern California, which means a slight cool breeze. That is all I needed to break out the fall clothes and more importantly the fall cooking. I found this Chunky Apply Walnut Cake in The [...]

I decided to try making a coffee cake from the Bisquick Healthy Heart. Can I tell you a secret? I grew up with a mom who used Bisquick. That was the base at our house for both biscuits and pancakes. My favorite hands down was the coffee cake. I confess that it is still on [...]

I love grapefruit, really any citrus fruit. I found this recipe for grapefruit cake and as I was reading the history it was “allegedly” from the Brown Derby in Hollywood. It has been gone for a long time but it was legendary in its day. The grapefruit and the restaurant capture the essence of Southern [...]

I saw these on another blog, Ezra Pound Cake, and thought they were the perfect thing to make today. Why today? Because it is time change, and to me that signals the countdown to spring. It is never fun to lose an hours sleep but tonight we will all be smiling when it is still [...]

Ok, so this isn’t on anyone’s New Years Diet but just remember it for that special occasion. I know it looks so simple, maybe a bit plain. Don’t let that fool you. This is a decadent cake. It is also super easy to make and is very forgiving. Undercooked a bit it is a gooey [...]

We are taking a break from the party recipes to share this yummy cake I made last week. The brown sugar cake topped with caramel frosting is so good you should plan on immediately giving it away so you will not be tempted to eat the whole thing. Luckily I had a place to bring [...]
