Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe yields light and spongy gluten-free chocolate chip muffins made with almond flour instead of regular flour. Nonfat Greek yogurt is one of the secrets to keeping the texture so fluffy.
Delicious Popcorn Crunch
Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.
Fresh Cherry Cobbler
This cherry cobbler recipe uses fresh cherries for a delicious summer dessert bursting with flavor. It may take a little longer to make because you need to pit the cherries, but it is well worth it when you taste the finished product.
