This is one of my rare cooking entries. Though they go in the oven for a while, these enchiladas certainly wouldn’t be characterized as a baked good. I obtained the original recipe for these from the food services division of a large university. The enchiladas served in their dining halls were exceptional. As usual, my changes …
This is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe I’ve been using for more than a dozen years. My version features a classic flavor combination: orange and cranberry. (CL’s has walnuts instead of cranberries.) It also includes whole wheat flour and contains 25% less sugar than the original. Cranberry Orange Biscotti Makes about 2 1/2 dozen …
This recipe is the result of combining a great-tasting, high-fat scone with a decent-tasting, good-for-you scone. The result is, fortunately, a great-tasting scone that is high in nutrients and low in fat and calories.

As noted below, 50/50 all-purpose/whole wheat flour combos are available in stores, but I mix my …
As pizza lovers with an aversion to garlic and onions, we have mastered several different recipes over the years. (Just try going into a restaurant and ordering a pizza that doesn’t have either item in the sauce!) When we first got married, our favorite crust utilized Jiffy mix, bacon pieces and dried tomatoes. We haven’t …
I usually refer to one or two—if not several—other recipes when creating and “test driving” my own concoctions. These cookies are unusual, though, for I haven’t seen anything like them elsewhere.
