Made as a taste-test comparison with an Epicure Selections gourmet mix, these are the well known twice-baked cookie you see in coffee shops all over. Dip into chocolate for a decorative, sweet touch.
This is a great use for the leftover pulp from juicing beets - the sweet fibre melds wonderfully with mashed banana and rich, bitter cocoa to make dense, low-fat snacks everyone will enjoy!
Cocoa powder, chocolate chips AND Nutella packed into a gigantic package, and coconut too?? I know, I know - but there's no overkill with cookies, is there! This makes 8 large cookies!
This low-fat carrot tea-cake is incredibly moist - it's for fork-type eating - and is made in one pot on the stove. A unique, crunchy touch from cornmeal and granola make this a snack you'll come back to time and again.
A honey-sweetened apple and carrot puree is cooked down to a luscious, caramel-like spread before being laced with ground walnuts. Whether on your morning bagel or piped onto cookies or into phyllo shells for dessert, it's a winner!
Smoked paprika, basil and fennel join up with shredded Cheddar and 12 grain flour for hearty, flavour-packed crackers. Try them with sweet pepper jelly or blueberry jam!
Who knew the often tossed rind of your favourite Summer fruit could make delectable candy to enjoy all year 'round? Exotic spice flavour from cardamom and Schezuan peppercorns make these a truly unique sweet treat - perfect to eat out of the jar or use in baking like candied ginger!

We can't get flavoured chocolate chips here, so I made my own! These also use my Raspberry Cocoa.
Hermit bars are basically an old fashioned spice cookie baked into a soft, chewy bar filled with raisins and nuts. They're said to date back to the late 1800s when the wives of New England sailors would make these for their husbands to take out to sea because they traveled so well. These are made with 100% whole grains, Omega rich almonds and walnuts, and magnesium rich molasses and Demerara sugar.
Super easy, fine textured and low fat cheese ready to nosh on in under 2 hours? You bet! Cook time includes draining time. Adapted from http://tigressinapickle.blogspot.com/2011/

If, like me, you always have sourdough toss-off on your hands, don't toss it down the drain! Whip up these tender, slightly tangy cookies and stuff them with whatever chocolate goodies you have around the house (with Valentine's and Easter on either side of us, there's lots to choose from!).
There's nothing meek about the chocolate flavour in this rich, brownie-like loaf! Ricotta cheese, apple butter and a hint of Nutella keep the crumb moist and so rich you'll forget there's almost a pound of zucchini inside too!
Unassuming to the eye, this moist and tender spice loaf is packed with three - count them - THREE cups of shredded homegrown zucchini.

The filling for Asian Style Chicken Lettuce Wraps is packed with whole-grain brown rice, water chestnuts, baby corn and bamboo shoots and is mixed with a sweet and salty hoisin-orange-teriyaki sauce.
These are super-crunchy right out of the oven, but if you store them in a plastic container or bag they go soft very quickly! To keep them longer than a day or so, I like putting them in a tall drinking glass where the air can circulate. Of course, you can always re-crisp them in the oven at 350F for about 6-8 minutes.
An adaptation of a recipe in Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies by Alice Medrich, these are super-chewy, dense bars packed with fruit, nuts, seeds and chocolate! A major bonus is they're gluten free, low-glycemic, and the fibre and healthy fats will keep you going without crashing.
These are a delicious after-gym snack with a good hit of protein, and of course chocolate! Adapted from http://spabettie.com/2012/04/13/double-ric

Sunny yellow (if you use the colouring) and full of lemon and orange flavour! It's a nice change from your usual Easter Peeps. Original recipe from http://www.frillsinthehills.com/2009/08/ma
ke-your-own-eggless-marshmallows.html, modified slightly by me. The NI reflects the amount of sugar/starch actually used in the recipe, not the excess.
Crisp chopped and buttery ground pecans add a wealth of flavour and a hint of bitterness to the crunchy cookie fingers. Sweet toffee bits add the "caramel" note to the biscuits while dark, rich palm sugar deepens the overall flavour. You've never dunked this into your coffee!
