Salad with Chicken, Apples, Cranberries and Goat Cheese
I love this salad, though I do love any salad with nuts, goat cheese, and dried fruit. The combination of textures and flavors ensures that each bite is bright and bold, and a slight variation from the last. The tangerine vinaigrette will use both the zest and juice of the fruit. It adds a powerful ...
Raw Seven Layer Bars
I’ve wanted these since the moment i saw them (yesterday). Some things are best kept not waiting. Traditional Seven Layer Bars (also called “Hello Dolly” or “Magic” bars) include butter, graham crackers, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut, walnuts and sweetened condensed milk.

Most energy bars that claim to be healthy are nothing more than glorified candy bars, filled with soy isolates, processed sugar, preservatives, and chemicals.

The mousse is a blend of cream cheese, crunchy peanut butter, sugar and vanilla, mixed until smooth then lightened with whipped cream. It is covered with a thick layer of ...
Fruit Crisp
The crisp is a comforting and homey dessert. I remember my grandmother occasionally surprised us with a crisp made from canned cherry pie filling, a crunchy-brown sugar top, and a big old scoop of Cool Whip. It was devoured by our huge family, and I worshiped it, but I am now looking for a more ...
