What are Morning Buns? They’re like cinnamon rolls, but they’re made with croissant dough. Very, very rich and buttery. There’s cinnamon in the filling, but it’s mixed with orange zest to brighten the flavor. And after they’re baked, they’re not glazed. They’re rolled in sugar, so the outside has a little sugar crunch.

These scones are lightly flavored with cranberry and the punch of a good chocolate chip. You could use any berry, cherry, or fruit you have on hand. Dried cranberries would work great, too.

I’m definitely an asparagus lover, so this creamed soup was a gem of a find. I’ve made it twice now and love eating it for lunch. I’m freezing today’s batch into individual portions to enjoy later, and it can also be kept in the fridge for about a week.

Avocados and Greek yogurt (and cookies) are staples in my diet. I can’t live without them. I usually eat a yogurt in the morning or mix it in with my Green Smoothie. I love avocados in any form-guacamole grilled cheese sandwich, avocado pasta, salads, and even ice cream. I am an avocado fanatic! I combined my two favorites to make this Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip. This dip makes a great party appetizer or every day snack.

I first learned about using the food processor to make homemade mayonnaise from Mark Bittman. It is hard to overstate the genius of this method. It’s even harder to remember a time when I didn’t know how to do it. Makes about one cup of mayonnaise.

Making pasta at home is far less intimidating than it sounds, but the results are just as outstanding as you’d imagine. This does take some time–and some space–so make sure you have both before you start. Using the food processor is a less authentic way of making pasta than mixing it in a big bowl or straight on the counter. But it keeps your hands a bit cleaner, and if you give the dough a couple extra minutes to rest, it’s just as pliable as dough made by hand.

If you like pesto and have been buying it in supermarkets, stop now. There isn’t a single ready-made jar on the market, no matter how well-known the brand or premium the range that can even come close to the flavour of one you freshly blitzed yourself. I swear to you I am not exaggerating; my pesto-lover friend Daniel has never looked back after trying this recipe, and even makes his own reddish-brown version with sundried tomatoes.

I made this salsa about half an hour before dinner. By the time dinner was ready half the salsa was gone and I was still fighting off hungry family members! They wouldn’t stay out of the kitchen. Of course, it didn’t help that after I taste tested it myself I let everyone else have some too. There was nothing left to save for the next day. The beauty of it was that it was fast and tasted great, a definite keeper in this house!

This is by far the simplest recipe you will find for coleslaw but it is amazing how many times I’m asked to bring it to a potluck party and for the recipe! People are even more astonished when I tell them how easy it is to make and what’s in it. For best results I like to make it an hour or 2 before serving as it allows the flavour of the onion to really come through and mingle with everything, which in my opinion is what makes this coleslaw taste so good. Try it and you’ll see!

I’m guessing that there’s a dessert table in Heaven and that it’s lined with all sorts of cheesecake. These creamy luscious treats are one of my all time favorite desserts and I have tried many different flavors, all of which I’ve loved. Recently I bought a mini cheesecake pan with those little removable bottoms and have been dying to use it. I finally got my chance when these little turtle cheesecake beauties came into my life.

The easiest, healthiest fudge you’ll ever make! No thermometer, marshmallow fluff or corn syrup required. It’s vegan and raw, too.

My family loves KFC Coleslaw, so much that they refused to eat any other coleslaw recipe I suggest. That got me thinking, maybe I should try making a copycat recipe for KFC coleslaw myself? I’ve tried quite a few different types of coleslaw in my day, but this recipe turned out perfectly! It’s a great dish to bring to a family get-together or a pot-luck. This infamous slaw recipe is one you’ll make more than just once!

The dough is perfectly tender and flaky all at the same time, and that is not always an easy thing to accomplish. So, hats off to Cook’s Illustrated for getting this one right….I just might have to use this as my go to pie dough recipe from now on.

I’ve had this bread recipe saved for about six months just waiting for a good bread baking day. That day came and after baking this gorgeous bread, I have to tell you it’s one of the best tasting breads I’ve had. It’s also made in the food processor, a different method from the traditional mixer or hand mixed variety. The combination of garlic and rosemary in this crusty loaf is marvelous. It makes two loaves, perfect for sharing.

If you need a tasty dip and you like the flavors of avocado and tomatillos, you will want to try this! I’ll be making this again, only I think next time I might roast the tomatillos first for a different flavor. This is perfect with your favorite tortilla chips or on top of a big calorie laden pile of nachos. 😉
