Raspberry Squares

Ever since I saw these babies on Goddess of Cake, I knew I wanted some! Lingonberry Squares for Stressed Activists! Of course, I didn’t have any lingonberries on hand, but I did have some delicious Farmer’s Market Raspberry Jam!

Ingredients:
3/4 C Earth Balance [...]

French Martini Frozen Yogurt

What does one do with the last peaches of the season, that are good but not as good as the earlier ones? Since they aren’t as addicting as the previous ones, turn them into something else…frozen yogurt, perhaps?! Here’s a non-alcoholic frozen yogurt version of the French Martini I posted a while back.

Tart Apple Turnovers

I’ve never been a huge fan of cooked apples.  Apple pie, apple sauce, apple crumble… I could take it or leave it.  But then my CSA delivered to me some Lodi apples.  I tried to eat one and it was so tart, I just couldn’t do it.  So the time has come for me to [...]

Chai Spice Shortbread Cookies
