Pecan Sour Cream Coffee Cake
For me, the best part about any coffee cake recipe is the crispy, crunchy, buttery crumb topping. In this recipe, I significantly increased the amount of crumb topping and hid a layer inside the cake!
Cabbage Salad with Mandarin Oranges and Fig-Dijon Dressing
Are you tired of the same coleslaw? Try this colorful cabbage salad without mayonnaise, but instead, uses your freshly made fig-Dijon salad dressing. Don't want to make your own dressing? Use 1/2 cup or more of your favorite bottled honey mustard dressing. Mandarin oranges and red bell peppers add color, almonds and chopped bacon provide a satisfying crunch!
