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!
Chef John's Green Goddess Dressing
This green goddess dressing recipe makes a creamy, herby, and delicious salad dressing. It's also one of my favorite dips. You can tweak the acidity with more or less lemon and adjust the salt and pepper, but please do not change the trio of herbs. The way the parsley and chive play against the sweet tarragon makes this unlike any other herb dressing.
