Here is the one of the easiest recipes to make a delicious light dessert with few calories. It is a Weight Watcher recipe that I received from a friend, Phyl. It is light and fluffy and if you are counting points, 1/12 of it is 4 points. I am not on Weight Watchers but agree [...]

There are some of us that need to pay attention to what we eat most of the time lest we blow up like an elephant overnight! I, unfortunately, am one of those people. Tomorrow we are having yet another buffet at school, though this time it is a healthy buffet. Supposedly eating from this buffet [...]

We recently had our annual Christmas Buffet. Always delicious, always too much food. One of the desserts that is post worthy, (and let me tell you there will be others), was the Friendship Spice Cake. This was very moist and delicious, had a hint of spice, and would also make a great breakfast. Lenore, the [...]

I am going out on a limb here but I just returned from the apple orchard with a bag of the most incredible Cortland apples and I know I shouldn’t get into making something with them. I live in the northeast which is Cortland country. It is a crisp, not too tart, not too sweet [...]

Okay, this is my absolute last post on zucchini for the 2009 year. Don’t hold me to that one as I have been thinking of a zucchini buckwheat muffin that quite possibly will make it to the breakfast table tomorrow morning. But, back to the business of a zucchini chocolate cake. It just seems that [...]

Having kids visit in the summer can be as refreshing as the pool itelf. I have been thinking that I am overrun with zucchini and my friend Heather’s kids are going to be coming for a swim and will definitely need some type of treat. At first I was going to make some zucchini cookies [...]

Here we go again, yet another post about zucchini. Like I said before, there is an over abundance of this little vegetable/fruit. I have been searching through my old family hand written recipes and found this one for zucchini bars. Looking it over, I decided to make it for breakfast. I only wanted to make [...]
