Reduced Fat and Cholesterol Red Velvet Cake
I made some alterations for this wonderful and rich Southern favorite! This cake has all the flavor and richness of a traditional red velvet cake, but you won't feel guilty while enjoying it! With the use of whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose, you are getting fiber and dessert in one! The frosting that goes with this cake is equally delicious and almost guilt free! This cake is delicious!
Air-Fried Ratatouille, Italian-Style
Traditional ratatouille vegetables, such as zucchini, are mixed with Italian herbs and then air-fried to create a quick and easy side dish that is nutritious and delicious. Using an air fryer for this ratatouille keeps the vegetables from getting soggy without using too much oil. You will need the baking accessory or an adaptable baking dish to use inside the air fryer basket.
Cherry Pie
This cherry pie recipe includes a buttery homemade crust and easy cherry filling. I was so pleased when this recipe got first place in the 1999 American Pie Council's National Pie Championship!
