Easy Bruschetta

This recipe is a great appetizer or “salad” dish to accompany your main course. Because you are making crostini toasts from the bread, this is a great way to use leftover bread. Or you can make it from store made crostini crackers or fresh bread. When I was a law clerk in Jersey City, there […]

Blueberry Muffins

Freshly picked blueberries make a delicious breakfast treat! My daughter had her birthday today, and when she woke up she asked for blueberry muffins for breakfast. So I got to work making these simple, delicious muffins. My healthy substitutions were unsweetened applesauce for the majority of the sugar plus 3 tablespoons of honey. Instead of […]

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Classic cream cheese frosting makes everything taste great! I cut out most of the refined sugar while using natural sugar from maple syrup in the cake – and saved the refined sugar for the delicious cream cheese frosting. I also balanced the cream cheese by combining fat-free and full-fat cream cheese. My family could not […]
