Raspberry Crumb Cakes
These delicious little squares are filled with nutritious ingredients, such as fresh raspberries, walnuts, soft wheat and rolled oats and the result is absolutely delicious! I started out by creating these as a dessert, as an alternative to Crumb cakes which are typically filled with sugar, butter and white flour and have no nutritional value, whatsoever! But as I fine-tuned ... Read More »
Peach Almond Cobbler
If you are so lucky to have fresh peaches at your local market, here is a peach almond cobbler that I think you will LOVE! It is delectable and of course so much more nutritious than the typical cobbler recipe. I have added ground almonds not only to add nutritional value but also to make it almost "buttery" tasting. I am using a mixture of regular smart balance (only 2 Tbsp ... Read More »
Harvest Apple Cake
I love to make this cake during the apple-picking season when my kids (and especially my husband) go crazy and I end up with a ”ton” of apples from every variety! No matter which ones I mix together, macouns, golden delicious, gala, McIntosh, you name it…it doesn’t seem to matter, it always comes out just right—rich and moist and just delicious! Oh, and one more thing I love ... Read More »

These wonderfully moist muffins are very easy to make because they are a “throw-everything in one bowl operation”! I use whole wheat pastry flour which is milled from soft wheat rather than the hard red wheat in regular whole wheat flour (here is one I like) which is perfect for these muffins because it is light and airy yet still rich in fiber. They are also low in sugar ... Read More »
Almond Banana Smoothie
Bananas are a potassium super fruit, which I understand means they are awfully good for your heart--a little simplistic, I know but, hey, it's true! What I can tell you with great conviction is that this creamy Almond Banana Smoothie is quick and easy. It is a filling nutritious way to start the day for you or for your child as he/she is running out of the house and even ... Read More »
Peach Flat Cake
This cake reminds me of the luscious buttery galettes from Brittany in the north of France, except of course it has no butter! The sliced almonds give it that rich buttery taste. Its dense flat batter topped with fresh peaches rises slightly as it bakes to “embrace” the peaches. Surprisingly, it is quick and simple to make. 5.0 from 1 reviews Peach Flat Cake ... Read More »
