Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies with Chocolate Chips
Very easy cookie made from cake mix when in a hurry. I love these better than other pumpkin cookies.
Banana Zucchini Bread Muffins
This banana zucchini bread muffin recipe is from my mother-in-law, and it is the only way to get my husband to eat bananas and my kids to eat zucchini. I bake it into muffins because it gets eaten faster than a loaf, but it's great either way.
Really Real Strawberry Cupcakes
For this from-scratch strawberry cupcake recipe, I tested and tasted lots of cupcakes. I was determined to make a perfect strawberry cupcake to go with a strawberry frosting I developed a couple of years ago. The trick is not using a purée, as I do when making frosting. Rather, I grind freeze-dried strawberries into a powder, which yields great results — it brought this cupcake recipe out of my test kitchen and into my recipe box!
