Are You Ready To Sample Some Of This Incredible Dessert?

Bread pudding is a classic dessert that can best be described as simple but elegant. This Bread Pudding With Whiskey Sauce recipe includes options for lightening things up a bit while still bringing the great flavor.

My great-grandmother, whom I called Granny and whom Dad called Mama, made a fantastic bread pudding with a whiskey sauce that practically made a dessert by itself. Alas, Granny closely guarded her recipes, and it was lost. I was happy to stumble upon this recipe and indulge in a little nostalgia. Though I can’t say that the recipe is exactly the same, it is similar, and I think that even Granny would have agreed that it is really tasty.

Of course, if you prefer making the sauce without the whiskey, this will still turn out delightful. But I would highly recommend giving it a try! I am definitely not a fan of whiskey but it makes this dessert super flavorful.

This Almond Cream Cake has a lovely light and velvety texture and is really moist and creamy. It’s paired beautifully with a homemade cooked and whipped frosting and is sure to be well received at any gathering. I do love the taste of almonds in my sweets. It’s such a nice complement to the taste of cream and sugar. This cake really has a rich flavor, yet it manages to be so light and moist, too… just heavenly, in my opinion.

 

There is a TON of frosting involved – which, in my opinion, is a good thing!However, if you’d prefer a thinner frosting layer you can simply just halve the ingredients for that one. That’s really a matter of personal preference, though. I loved the flavor of the cake and I could eat on frosting alone, so no amount is too much for me…

Cooking at home with lean, health-conscious ingredients is a great way to have a flavorful meal without throwing all dietary concerns to the wind. This Healthy Orange Chicken recipe is a nice choice if you like the taste of Chinese food but need to watch your cholesterol, sodium, or blood sugar levels.

 

I have frequently enjoyed Asian-style orange chicken at restaurants in the past, and as it turns out, it isn’t that difficult a dish to put together. There is a marinating step, but you only need to marinate the chicken for about half an hour. And the agave and low-sodium soy sauce combined nicely with the other ingredients to make a delicious lightened-up sauce (while keeping the sodium levels and glycemic index relatively low).

A Spicy Apple Treat That’ll Keep You on Your Feet!

This simple apple cinnamon cake is anything but that! With a moist inside that is gluten free, and a crispy crust that makes you go for “one more bite”, this hassle-free cake is simply delicious. It is the perfect pair for your coffee or tea. It’s also not only great at breakfast time, but as an after dinner treat too!

 

The surprising thing about this beautiful apple cake is that there is no sugar in the recipe! You heard me – none! The sweetness comes from pure maple syrup, but if you can’t find that, you could use honey instead. This is such a great, not overly sweet dessert – but if you want more sweetness you could simply serve this with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream, or some white sugar frosting drizzled on top!

Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out what was in these, and your fellow eaters will be, too. These Cheesy Cauliflower Biscuits pack a lot of flavor, and they’re gluten-free and come in at just 25 calories per biscuit! Happy healthy snacking, which is simply great for all of us trying to watch what we eat!

 

If more people knew just what wonderful things cauliflower can be used to make, I’m not sure that the grocery stores would be able to keep it in stock!  Though that basic au gratin recipe is nice enough, I am a bit sad that I didn’t go past that for so long.  Needless to say, I am making up for lost time.  If you are a bit like me and have a tendency to enjoy that bread basket or appetizer plate a bit TOO much, I think that you will be happy to have a bunch of these to eat, guilt-free.

I can see why this recipe was award-winning!  It’s really hard to believe that something as gourmet-tasting as this Mediterranean Seafood can be put together in only half an hour and be so healthy!

Not very many dishes go straight to my dash of Best Recipes, but this one did! Particularly when fall starts knocking on my door, I start thinking about hearty stews. And seafood is very much in my blood still, even if I am a few hundred miles away from the Gulf waters now.  Needless to say, I was really excited to come upon this little gem.  I couldn’t believe that something this tasty was only about 220 calories for a full serving, not to mention rich with all of those healthy omega-3 fatty acids that I keep hearing such good things about.

 

What surprised me the most was how much my whole family enjoyed this dish! I have two very picky eaters at home, and my husband is not that fond of seafood, either. But all three of them gobbled this up faster than I could say “Bon Appetit!”
