Mini NY Style Cheesecakes

Cheesecake.  Love it.

Easy, perfectly portioned cheesecake....love even more.

Hello Dolly Bars

You'll love this vintage recipe for Hello Dolly Bars! Also known as magic bars, or seven layer bars, the name Hello Dolly is a tribute to the musical, Hello Dolly, that was popular at the same time the bars became famous! Not quite a cookie bar, not quite a candy bar, these rich treats are layered with graham cracker crust, white, butterscotch, and milk chocolate chips, coconut, and walnuts then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. 

Herbed Turkey Sliders

Recipe ideas and inspirations can come from the weirdest places sometimes.  Take this one for instance...my husband was sitting in the waiting room at the Dr.'s office, browsing a mini magazine, when this recipe caught his eye.

Wheatberry Waldorf Salad

Who doesn't love a good Waldorf Salad?  Seasonal apples, crunchy celery, sweet dried cranberries, and walnuts in a tangy dressing.  Lighten up the dressing and add in some chewy wheat berries and you've got a winning dish.

Mini Pumpkin Strudels

I gotta say, I LOVE strudel.  I love the flaky crust and I love the fillings.

Mushroom Quinoa Stuffing (Vegan and Gluten Free)

I found this recipe, and on a whim, decided that it just might be worth making.

I am so glad I did.  What a wonderful, healthy alternative to bread dressing for your holiday table.  This is healthy, vegan, gluten free and most importantly delicious.

Asian-Style Cucumber Salad

This is a really simple side dish that can served along side just about anything.  It's full of flavors....sweet, tangy, and spicy all in one bite.  The longer you let it sit in the "juice" the more the cucumber will absorb the flavors and will become slightly pickled.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins are a treat that just scream fall flavors.  Pumpkin, spices, molasses...the addition of molasses not only deepens the color, but also the flavor.  Some of the oil has been replaced by additional pumpkin, allowing each muffin to come in around 200 calories.
