A healthier version of my breakfast casserole in muffins. Can be frozen after cooking and then reheated. Use non stick liners for easy removal.
This is a makeover of Mrs. Bush's Carrot muffins. A healthier option. I love these on Christmas morning with a slice of healthier breakfast casserole. The whole wheat white flour has a lighter texture with all the health benefits of whole wheat.

Slightly crispy, deliciously caramel-flavoured and extraordinarily beautiful cut-out sugar cookies, made in a small batch for that special someone, are a hit in any goody basket! Frost with royal icing if you'd like, these are not too sweet alone.
These cookies are not exactly on Santa's "nice" list either, with a cup of sugar in them, but they are fat-free and rich in antioxidants from the cocoa powder! These are also good for holiday gifting too, especially if you know a lactose-intolerant or celiac sufferer!

Another one of my mom's "Black Box" recipes, though the card is written in my grandmother's hand. I have no idea if my mom ever made it. This is rich cake, filled with butter, eggs, milk and honey, and it fills three 14-oz cans, about 6 slices each.
A delicious, filling, nutrient-dense blend of vegetables and low-fat protein to have for lunch after the holiday meals. Delicious use-up for Thanksgiving and Christmas condiments too!
What do you make for a chocolate freak who's allergic to dairy, nuts and soy? Any chcolate except unsweetened is out because of the lethicin, and butter, coconut oil and most shortening is off the books too! Well, I got creative, and busted out the black beans! My initial batch had mixed reviews because of the banana flavour, so I used a rather interesting blend of ingredients in this batch - flaxseed, apple butter and an egg as well. Add rich, dark-roast coffee and bitter chocolate too and you've got a winner!
This rich, slightly sweet yeast bread is full of spicy heat from crushed anise and nutmeg. The flavours blend perfectly with the creamy eggnog and apple butter dough that has a few added egg yolks for extra body!
Homemade Danish Butter Cookies are so easy and delicious! Get the pretty swirls with a piping bag and large star tip.
