Cranberry Jell-O® Salad with Walnuts
This is my most requested recipe! It's a wonderful accompaniment to your Thanksgiving or Christmas menu.
Rhubarb Bounce
This rhubarb cobbler is an utterly simple recipe that's great for getting rid of all that extra rhubarb. Any fruit can be used, not just rhubarb. Just substitute sweetened fresh fruit or a can of pie filling. Serve rhubarb bounce with whipped cream.
Coconut Cupcakes
A white cake recipe with a coconut twist. I had some coconut in my fridge that needed to be used, and this is what I came up with. If you want a more intense coconut flavor, add a teaspoon or two of coconut extract. Try putting your coconut in a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother-textured cupcake. This is the first recipe I've come up with on my own, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
