These easy and tasty muffins are a glorious way to start any day. They combine the great taste and chewy texture of carrots with the wonderful flavors of apple, raisins, coconut, walnuts, and cinnamon.
'These moist muffins are chock-full of goodies like coconut, apple, pineapple, carrots and nuts,' relates Evelyn Winchester of Hilton, New York. 'They're delicious for breakfast or lunch. I get many requests for the recipe.'
For this classic Italian appetizer, I chose Gorgonzola for its sweet creaminess, but any quality blue cheese will do. A slice of tart apple is a nice foil to the garlic and cheese.
Similar to banana bread, this moist cake is enriched with creamy buttermilk, brown sugar, butter, walnuts, and rum. Apple juice can be substituted for the rum, and pecans for the walnuts.
This Slow-Cooked Sausage Dressing recipe contains seasoned stuffing cubes, reduced-fat bulk pork sausage, pecans, reduced-fat butter, tart apple and more.
Grilled steak and chicken that doesn't dry out on the grill, but stays moist and flavorful. These kabobs are simple to make, and delicious to eat. Skewered meat with peppers, onions, and mushrooms in a honey teriyaki sauce.
This recipe is a great template. As long as you have the binding agent (molasses for me, maybe honey for you), you can swtich up the fruits, nuts, and spices to fit your taste. This is my hubby's favorite lower-sugar, high-energy cycling snack!
This frosting is good for many types of cakes including carrot cakes, apple cakes, and spice cakes. Add flavorings to compliment the cake you are frosting. Try 1 1/2 teaspoons of grated lemon or orange rind, 1 teaspoon any extract, 1 teaspoon of liqueur, or a mashed banana.
Grapefruit or mixed fruit marmalade will work just as well as the orange marmalade called for in the recipe. Serve the casserole with honey or pancake syrup warmed with orange rind and a splash of orange juice (add one teaspoon rind and two tablespoons juice per 1/2 cup syrup). This easy casserole can be assembled in less than 15 minutes and stored in the refrigerator overnight.
This is a recipe I experimented with to try to get a good amount of vitamins, calcium, protein and fiber in my diet. The great part of this is that I don't get bored with it (even though I drink it every day) because I can change the type of fruit I use whenever I want.
