Apple cranberry sauce isn’t just for the holidays. With very little sugar, have it on yogurt or spread it on toast. Making it in the Instant Pot just made things a lot easier.
Fruit
From apples to zucchini (because technically, zucchini IS a fruit).
Food Processor Blueberry Muffins with Crumb Top
This recipe for food processor blueberry muffins takes an old recipe and uses a new method. These turned out light and fluffy because the butter was incorporated perfectly through the use of a food processor.
Spicy Strawberry and Cantaloupe Salad
Spicy Strawberry Cantaloupe Salad
So, this is what happens when you have strawberries leftover from making Fresh Strawberry Sheet Cake, and a half a cantaloupe sitting forlornly in the refrigerator. You put them together in a salad and spice them up so they are not boring anymore. This makes a lovely light lunch, and the juice at the bottom of the bowl is out of this world delicious.
Fresh Strawberry Sheet Cake – Celebrate Summer Fruit
Fresh Strawberry Sheet Cake will never, ever get old. It’s a very simple cake to make and my goto white cake. Topping it with strawberries and whipped cream makes it a great summer cake that can feed a crowd.
Raw Apple Cake with Apple Brandy and Raisins
This cake is a breeze to make. The batter is really thick, and you might think it’s not ever going to be a cake. The great thing is as the apples cook, they let go of their moisture that combines with the batter infusing it with all its wonderful apple goodness and making an impressive cake. The cake is rich and is perfect with tea, or espresso, or my favorite Armenian coffee.

Apple Yogurt Raisin Bread – Beautiful and Easy to Make
I don’t usually do things that are complicated, and when I started making this bread, I thought it would be complicated, but in truth, it wasn’t. If this is your first time making bread, you might be intimidated by this, but trust me, it’s going to be okay.
Apple Streusel Bundt Cake
Apple Streusel Bundt Cake
I found this recipe on the back of the Zulka brown sugar bag. The cake looked great on the package, I happened to have apples in the refrigerator, and I wanted to try something new.
The instructions on how to make the cake on the bag make no sense, therefore, I changed it to the traditional method of creaming the butter and then creaming the butter and sugar together. Okay, so you don’t know what creaming is? It’s very simple. Put room temperature butter into a large bowl, and then beat it with an electric beater until it is nice and smooth. If you don’t have room temperature butter, you can cut the butter up into small pieces and then cream it. The best way to beat is with a stand mixer, but a hand mixer will do just fine. Don’t try this with a whisk, it’s too difficult.
This is a very moist cake, and may take quite a while to bake. The original instructions said 40-55 minutes, mine was in over 80 minutes, your mileage may vary.
Asian Inspired Fruit Salad
Recipes in this Post
I have been a fan of Chinese Chicken Salad since the 1980’s when I first had it. Everyone once in a while, I have all the ingredients to make it. This afternoon, Spane and I went and had a very filling lunch at Everest Burgers, so we didn’t want a heavy or big dinner. I asked him if salad would be good, and he said yes. Then I went to my pantry and saw that I had Mandarin oranges, I knew what to make.
This salad has everything but the chicken, and if you happen to have cooked chicken, you are more than welcome to add it to this salad. Make sure you have a sharp knife because you will be chopping the greens and the onion into small pieces.
You could add other fruit to this salad as well, like lychee nuts, or even cherries. I had unsweetened coconut chips which had just enough sweetness, sweetened coconut would be too powerful, so I don’t recommend it. Please choose whichever Asian salad dressing you like, we like Girard’s Asian Dressing.
