Applesauce Oatmeal Cranberry Muffins

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

These tiny cookies are great for an afterschool snack. I added chopped almonds to the recipe.

Marble Cheesecake Brownies

This is by far my favourite brownie recipe. It combines the tanginess of cream cheese with the dark richness of bittersweet chocolate. This recipe was found on David Lebovitz's site.

Apple Cake

Polenta Corn Muffins

It's much more difficult to find stone ground cornmeal out here in New Zealand. I tried using polenta for these muffins. The result was a quite dense and heavy batter. Perhaps this muffin recipe was too healthy as it used applesauce instead of oil or butter and did not call for an egg but I added one anyway. They lacked sweetness which we made up for by adding honey or jam. Great served with chili though.

Rosemary Garlic Knots

Using leftover pretzel dough, I chopped up some rosemary and kneaded it in. After baking, these rolls were brushed with melted butter and minced garlic. So tasty right out of the oven. They would give Bravo's rolls a run for their money.

Lemon Zesty Muffins

These muffins are bursting with lemony flavor. Not only is there lemon zest and juice in the muffin but it is also poured over the top.
