Previous Recipes of the Week

Each of the following recipes has been tested, photographed, and rated or reviewed.

Chocolate Covered Cherry Pudding Cake: Romance your loved one with this decadent yet healthy treat.  Cherry sauce "magically" sinks down through chocolate cake to form a layer of cherries nestled in chocolate pudding on the bottom.

Tofu, Tempeh, and Butternut Squash in Slow-Cooked Peanut Mole: This rich, complex dish is spicy and sweet and peanutty all at the same time.  But use with caution because with 14 grams of fat per serving (from the peanut butter, tofu, and tempeh), it's not low-fat, and its delicious taste may lead you to eat more than one serving!

Creole Black-eyed Peas: In this Creole take on black-eyed peas, the "trinity" of onion, bell pepper, and celery and the heat of a little cayenne and hot sauce combine in a thick gravy that envelops the peas like a cream sauce and can be firey or mild, according to taste.

Pumpkin Pie Bites: Topped with candied ginger, these delicious treats offer the taste of pumpkin pie in bite-sized bars.

Creamy Celeriac Soup: This creamy, light soup is as delicious as it is healthy!

Lemony Quinoa with Butternut Squash: This light and lemony side dish goes with practically anything but can be easily turned into a main dish with the addition of chickpeas or white beans.

Fall Harvest Fruit Cake (Persimmon-Apple Cake): Don't let the name scare you! This is a fruit cake only in the sense that it's almost as much fruit as cake, making it dense and moist and sweet. Persimmons and apples taste great together and they're both in season this time of year, but feel free to substitute other types of fruit.

What to Do With Leftover Pumpkin: If you're stuck with half a can of leftover pumpkin, consider yourself in luck.  Use that half cup of pumpkin and create something delicious in the process!

Mushroom, Lentil, and Wild Rice Timbales:Wild rice provides just a touch of chewiness in these elegant, pâté-like timbales.
