You put the marinade in a Zip Lock bag…
A REAL TREAT FOR A CHEAT! It is a soft-centered brownie pie that is firm enough on the outside rim to make nice neat wedges when you cut it. I don’t like pies that make a mess when you cut them, so this one I like. Use 4 ounces of your favorite chocolate bar! If you want to be extra decadent go ahead and serve…

From allrecipes.com, I finally tried their Downeast Pumpkin Bread, and no wonder it got over 7K likes! It is the best pumpkin bread I ever tried. I love the pumpkin flavor and I love the clean cuts it makes. It is not crumbly at all. I know that butter is tasty in breads, but using oil makes them more moist. I usually like raisins or…

/ It’s easy to make New York Cheesecakes for Two (or Four!) using two small four-inch mini Wilton springform pans. I love making these when a large cheesecake is too much. I add my favorite sour cream topping and then fresh strawberries with a glazed topping. You can use any fruit you wish, but use the glaze. It helps keep the fruit looking fresh. I…

From Betty Crocker, this moist, flavorful zucchini banana cake needs no fork! It is more like a SNACK CAKE that you pick up with your hands. I cut the 8-inch square cake into 16 pieces instead of 9. That way the squares are small and sturdy enough to pick up. It works great! Plus there is a bonus: smaller squares means lower calories! I love…
