Almond-Oatmeal Cookies with Black Raspberries
These chewy oatmeal cookies deviate from the norm thanks to the addition of almond butter, sliced almonds, and black raspberries. If frozen black raspberries are difficult to find where you live, you can replace them with either frozen red raspberries or frozen blackberries–just make sure to give them a rough chop before adding to the batter, since they're often bigger than black raspberries.
Carol's Cinnamon Waffles
If you like those cinnamon waffles from the frozen food department of the grocery store, you'll love these! I developed this recipe because I don't care for syrup. Most waffles need the sweetness of syrup to make them special. These waffles are yummy, just as they are; no syrup necessary! Whipped cream and fruit are a great addition if you want to go all out, or just add butter and confectioners' sugar to the top. These may brown quicker than standard waffles because of the sugar in them, so test the first one and adjust the time. I have also added 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed; you can't taste a difference. Enjoy!
Easy Apple Pie
This easy apple pie recipe belongs to my mother. I make it all the time when I want a simple homemade pie. I love it! I often add a dash of nutmeg to the apple filling.
